About Reno Dogs

What they offer

Reno Dogs trains dogs through board and train programs in which the dog lives with a professional trainer and learns in homes, on trails and in public places. A puppy board and train for puppies of 8 to 20 weeks builds confidence, handling, manners and early obedience; a 5-week adult board and train for dogs of 5 months and older works on barking, jumping, leash pulling and over-excitement; and a 6- to 12-week behavior modification program takes on complex cases such as extreme reactivity, fear, resource guarding and aggression. Dogs are conditioned to the e-collar for consistent off-leash control, and clients get ongoing support and group classes after a program ends.

How they train

The site describes a motivational, science-based approach tailored to each dog's genetics and needs, with owners coached in the same communication and handling skills.
