About High Tide Dog Training LLC

Programs

High Tide Dog Training offers four formats: day train, board and train, private lessons and home school. All are described as custom personalized programs designed to fit the individual dog, on the reasoning that every dog is different.

Day train

The day train program is the distinctive one. The trainer collects the dog from the owner's home every weekday at a scheduled time and drops it back after a day of training. Owners receive daily reports on progress, and at the end of the week there is a scheduled lesson to go over everything the dog has learned. The site pitches this at dogs that need basic commands or work around other dogs, bikers, runners and heavy distractions generally.

Board and train

Board and train is described as the most immersive program, with the dog living with the trainer for one to three weeks depending on the owner's goals. The work covers basic commands plus house-training goals such as not jumping on guests, counter surfing, begging and bolting through doors, along with respecting boundaries and responsive listening.

The stated aim

The site frames the benefit in terms of the dog rather than the owner's convenience: understanding how to interact with a dog helps it become more confident and less stressed, and raises quality of life for the family.
