Long Term Boarding and Training

Puppy and Dog Long-Term Boarding and Training

The long-term boarding and training program adds a whole improved level of training. In this puppy and doggy boot camp training environment your furry family member lives with a trainer for two weeks, literally becoming part of the trainers pack. Your pup stays in our home with us with 24 hour supervision. We are with your dog 100% of the time and they are not put in outdoor kennels or left to sleep outside or in barns. They are loved and cared for inside our home with our personal dogs.

There is a typical structure to training but we add a feeling of at-home-ness. Your puppy or dog can quickly learn ways to co-habitat with people in a manner that doesn’t drive their family crazy.

The long-term boarding training incorporates as much of our everyday lives as possible. This training not only guarantees that your dogs get a daily minimum of 30-45 minutes of mental stimulation but also allows training time that helps them be more stable and reliable in our everyday lives.

**Dogs must be 6 months old, fully potty trained (must be able to go all night without accidents) & free of any aggression issues to participate in this program.

Our Process

While with us your dog’s day typical starts with feeding followed by quiet time to prevent any kind of medical issues that can be caused by too much activity post meal.

Next we take your puppy or dog on a local field trip to another training site. At this time we are working on a variety of obedience tasks and stability while exposing your dog to different dogs, environments and distractions.

During this time our trainers are looking for any unwanted behaviors and quirks that your dog may show. We address these issues as they pop up to the best of our abilities. After training we make our way back to our home where the pack gets to interact with each other and learn to act calmly in a house environment. We learn to not play or rough house inside the house, but rather save that for outside play time.

Training continues into the evening hours as the dog learns how to behave while interacting with the family in a home environment while dealing with the various daily activities and tasks that happen in everyday life. Such as, we learn to not go in the kitchen or beg for food while family is eating at a dinner table. After an evening meal, everyone is allowed to interact so long as we all get along. Our day ends at bed time where each dog has time to rest, rejuvenate and get read for the next exciting day of training.

What Dog Owners Say About Us

I adopted a 5 year old rescue from Texas. He knew 0 commands. He would dart out doors and jump out of cars. I signed him up for the board and train at Integrity Dog Training. What he came back as is a whole new dog. He now knows commands (didn’t always listen as he is stubborn) and the support from Ben since he has been home is great. With everyday practice he now listens the first time he hears a command or even the command with the hand. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

We rescued a Carolina Dog who had lived on the streets in TX prior to being shipped up to the PNW. When we got him, he didn't know how to walk on a leash, ride in a car etc... We began working with Ben with one-on-one lessons just to get the basics down. Otis made good progress, but needed intensive training. We did a 2 week "stay-n-train". Otis was returned to us a completely different dog. He heels without a leash, he comes when called, even if he's 200 yards away mole hunting, he stays on "place" when we need to eat dinner without him begging... the list goes on and on. Ben taught him how to behave in public spaces like stores and restaurants. Our dream is to get him certified as a service dog and I think it might be a reality now. The best thing about this trainer is he is gentle and positive. There are no harsh punishments or yelling. When I picked Otis up, I could tell he genuinely loved and respected Ben. He wasn't just behaving well out of fear. This trainer is the real deal - I'd trust him to be able to train any dog 🙂

I have a husky that was a little under a year and very hard at socializing with other animals just cuz she had never been around them and kind of was isolated as a puppy. And then with integrity had helped me control my emotion and be able to work with my dog and teach her how to be a great ESA which is exactly what I need because I have anxiety. She is now much happier she's on a great diet and she does very well around other dogs. And she is very friendly and is learning how to be a good service animal to me and very respectful to other owners and their animals. We even got her trained off the leash. I know that I can always go back if I have any questions or text or call and he'll be there to be able to help out. So I would highly recommend this dog trainer to help train your dog.

Ben trained my two German Shepherds previously with amazing results. They had gone through previous basic training at a pet store, but Ben took them to the next level. Improving upon what they had learned and getting them on voice commands rather than treats. We are now working together again on my Pitbull also expanding into more advanced training with her. I have been so impressed with how he communicates so effectively with each dog and how much they look forward to working with him.

I have had my previous dog, Margaret, trained by Ben. She was a challenge to say the least. Half husky/half German Shepard, all attitude and stubbornness, but also very sweet and funny! After we did a board and train, Margaret was happier and so were we! I wasn’t constantly yelling at her and she wasn’t constantly trying to figure out why I was yelling at her. She became a confident, well behaved, happy dog. Unfortunately we lost her unexpectedly too young, but our new puppy will also do a board and train with Ben when she is old enough. It makes for a happy dog and a happy human! Ben is the dog whisperer and I trust that anyone he hires to work with him will he just as good.

Ben has trained two of our Rottweilers, the latest being our stubborn, alpha, 5 month old puppy. We are able and confident allowing our two and four year old walk them both. We highly recommend his services to anyone with a dog. He does wonders and the training lasts a lifetime. Ben is always available for follow up questions.
