  • What are the advantages of boarding and training?

    There are several advantages to our Board and Train program. They are: Faster results: Your dog will learn directly from professional dog trainers and will receive several hours of hands-on training each day. Immersive learning: Your dog will spend the entire day in a controlled environment, where every decision is guided and reinforced. Many dogs find this type of environment to be therapeutic. Less stress on you: We will work through the challenging early stages of training and focus on the tedious repetition that you may not have time for. Enhanced customization: Due to the amount of time we spend with your dog, we're able to get to know them on a much deeper level. This allows us to develop specific strategies and exercises that directly target each individual dog. This is especially valuable in behavioral cases. Dog trainer on retainer: With all of our Board and Train packages, you have us on retainer for the life of your dog! This means that if any problems occur based on our previous training, we will help you free of charge. Want to learn more about our Board and Train packages? Contact TriStar K-9 Obedience today!
  • What is behavioral training?

    Behavioral dog training is a program that focuses on fixing behavioral issues and giving you a long-term curriculum to train your dog. This program focuses on the following areas: barking, aggression, counter surfing, getting in the trash, chewing, digging, jumping, nipping, chasing, growling, whining, anxiety, car manners, and more! According to United Consumer Financial Services, 41% of Gen Z pet owners pay for professional pet training. If you're in need of professional training services, contact us today!
  • What kind of dogs do you train?

    Our dog training is open to all dogs!
  • How long is your boarding and training program?

    Our Board and Train dog training program is offered in two or three-week sessions. We also offer a six-week severe behavior modification or protection training program.
  • What type of training do you do?

    We use positive dog training to teach dogs what to do, and we use negative reinforcement to teach them what not to do.
  • Can I visit my dog during training?

    While I will never tell you that you cant see your dog, I will caution you on the effects of doing so. If a dog sees his people and then they leave again, some dogs will become stressed and regress in training.
  • What will my dog learn while away at training?

    We teach your dog to sit, stay, down stay, come when called no matter what; on leash or off leash, a place command, walk on a loose leash without pulling and dragging. They also learn to wait at doors until you tell them ok and to not just dart out the door. While here, we will also work on socialization, jumping, nuisance barking, nipping, and any other kind of negative behavior you are experiencing.
