Welcome to your Board & Train Resources page.
I am thankful, honored, and excited to be on this experience with you. I want to do all I can to help make the board & train experience rewarding and successful.
Summary of Web Page: Resources for Board and Train Clients’ Dogs
This web page serves as a valuable resource for clients of the board and train program, focusing on tools and strategies to ensure ongoing success in their dog’s training journey. Central to its philosophy is the belief that a calm dog is the foundation for good behavior, achieved through effective leadership.
The page outlines the 5 Golden Rules, developed by Doggy Dan (https://www.facebook.com/DogTrainerDoggyDan), which emphasize essential principles for nurturing a well-mannered and relaxed dog. Additionally, it highlights the unique techniques of Sean O’Shea (https://thegooddogway.com/), who advocates a slightly different approach, reinforcing the importance of maintaining calmness in dogs to promote positive behavior.
Importance and Reasoning:
Providing these resources is crucial for empowering clients with the knowledge and skills needed post-training. Clients are strongly encouraged to read all materials, including Sean O’Shea’s book, prior to picking up their dog at the end of the board and train period. This preparation ensures they fully understand the training principles and will be better equipped to implement them effectively at home. By understanding and applying the principles of both Doggy Dan and Sean O’Shea, clients can foster a strong leader-follower relationship with their dogs, ensuring a harmonious and obedient pet. This comprehensive approach equips dog owners to tackle common challenges, enhance their dog’s well-being, and ultimately strengthen the bond between them and their pets.
