The board and train, specified and priced

A two-week Board and Obedience Training program is published at $2,500, and the curriculum is listed command by command: come, described as "solid non-negotiable recall"; sit; down; stay; heeling on and off leash; off, used for biting, chewing and jumping on people, furniture and counters; place; and socialization with dogs, children, people, sounds and different environments. On top of that foundation they practice entering and exiting doorways with structure, greeting guests politely, not reacting to the doorbell, walking past people and dogs while holding a heel, and long durations of obedience in different environments with distractions. They state plainly how it is taught: "All training is practiced OFF-leash and conditioned with the e-collar."
