Problems with Board and Train
 

A lot of owners want to be able to send there "problem" dog to a trainer that will take the pet at their facility and train the behavior "problem" out . First, I would strongly suggest that you investigate the facility and the trainer(s) since you are trusting them with your pet. Contact that BBB, the local police and ask for references. I would also ask what organizations they belong to (investigate those as well) and what training methods they use, when do they use it and what training tools they use. Basically, are all the people qualified to handle your dog? Do they use shock collars, deprivation techniques, or neglect? Do you, as an owner, feel educated enough to know the difference between a healthy board and train to one that can potentially cause more harm then good?

Your pet's environment and routine, your relationship with him/her, your pet's individual experiences and characteristics all work together to create the "problem". Taking your pet to someone else to "fix", doesn't address the underlying issues that manifest the behavior problem. In most cases anxiety and fear need to be addressed and help improve the quality of life of your pet through understanding.

This can also be a very costly venture. Some charge $700 for a week but most board and train minimum stays last for a month for no less then $2500.
