Could A Board And Train CT Program Be A Good Idea For Your Unruly Pet

By David Olson


Some dogs just naturally have good manners and others take to obedience training like they were born for it. Then there are the pets who resist all efforts to teach them how to behave indoors and on a leash. If you are at your wit's end, and don't know what to do with your uncooperative puppy, you might consider a board and train CT program to get him on track and your life back to normal.

Training a pet becomes more complicated when everyone in the household is out all day working or at school. Boarding your puppy with a trainer for a period of time can be a good solution. You have two basic options with these services. There are the in home programs and the kennel programs.

When you choose the in home program, your pet will live with the trainer's family for several weeks, usually two. One of the benefits of these programs is that pets are living outside cages. They are learning proper etiquette that most families require of indoor pets. These include house training and respect for boundaries. The puppies will also develop social skills when they interact with other animals in the household that are being trained.

Kennel programs are much more structured. Puppies are housed in outdoor cages except when they are involved in training sessions. They don't have the same informal interaction with humans as those in home training. If you request additional exercise for your pet, or walks on a leash, it may cost you more.

Basic training is the goal of most of these programs. Your puppy will learn how to heel, come, sit, and stay. He will be house trained. Your puppy will learn manners like not jumping up on people, not rushing doors, and not pulling on his leash.

Pet owners who have dogs with behavioral issues like aggression or excessive shyness learn behavior modification using techniques like desensitizing. If you have an animal with aggression issues, you need to make sure the trainer you leave your puppy with does not use choke, prong, or shock collars to coerce animals into behaving. Flooding is a controversial method of modifying behavior you need to discuss with your trainer.

One of the obvious advantages of using these services is that your pet will be learning good habits from a professional trainer. The results should be faster and more complete than if you had tried to do the work yourself. If you're going out of town and leaving your animal behind, taking him to a trainer might be a perfect option.

The drawbacks include the fact that you won't actually see what is going on in the trainer's home or in the kennel. You have to trust that your pet is in safe hands. Your pet may regress once he gets back home. Don't expect to have a perfect animal delivered into your hands after a couple of weeks. There will still be plenty of work ahead for you and your pet.
