Day Training Program
Day training sessions are a slight variation to a traditional B&T program where the trainer works directly with your dog one on one while your dog continues to reside at home. The trainer will travel to your location to work with them at home and/or transport your dog to and from training locations. This program is perfect for busy families and owners looking to accelerate their dog’s progression through their individualized training plan. This program does include one on one sessions with the family to ensure skills translate to their home environment. This program is also an excellent adjunct to private sessions (Day Training & Private Session hybrid programs available).
Board & Train Program
An intensified and immersive training program that can be utilized as a standalone offering, as an adjunct to private sessions, or as a boarding service to maintain and reinforce skills while you are away/for dogs who may struggle in a traditional boarding environment. Our B&T program does also include one on one sessions with the family to ensure skills translate to their home environment. During the B&T program your dog will be fully immersed in a carefully curated environment that is designed to set them up for success. Apex Canine only accepts one dog at a time into our B&T program and dogs are provided their own private kennel space to allow them to appropriately rest and decompress. During their stay they will reside in our climate controlled kennel which is located on our private property (owner lives on site). Our kennel building is also remotely monitored 24/7 for air quality (temperature/humidity/CO2), additionally there are safety systems in place to monitor for any signs of kennel stress. Our kennel building features an oversized 8×8 kennel space (about twice the size of the typical boarding kennel) with durable comfort flooring, as well as supervised access to a 1/2 acre fenced in play yard. In addition to reinforcing desirable behaviors throughout their stay, they will also participate in an individualized exercise/enrichment program and receive daily training sessions. All B&T graduates receive lifetime trainer support to ensure skills can be maintained throughout their lifetime.
***Due to the limited availability for our B&T program (we only accept one dog at a time), it is recommended to book well in advance of any travel plans.
Private Sessions [Foundations- Life Skills – Manners]
These sessions are ideal for clients looking to work on foundation skills such as sit/down/stay/loose leash walking/come when called/leave it etc. During our initial session we will evaluate your dog’s current skills and work together to create a individualized training plan that fits you and your dog’s needs/goals. This appointment type is appropriate for puppies, dogs looking to brush up on their skills, dogs who need a job/added enrichment (scent dog training/trick dog training), as well as teams looking to prepare for therapy dog work or service dog public access training. We do offer some limited task training for service dog teams. During our discovery call we will discuss task training goals to determine if this program would be an appropriate fit for your team.
Virtual Services
Not local to us? Not a problem, we would still love to help! For clients who do not live in our service area Apex Canine does offer fully remote services. We have had many clients successfully complete their entire training program with us remotely. This modality can also be used as an adjunct to our other programs and can be a great low demand option for clients who are living with a chronic illness/disability.
***Please note these sessions are not intended to address behavior concerns such as fear, anxiety, reactivity, or aggression. Please see our behavior modification services to address these items.
