This is our newest program, and is designed to include you, as the owner, throughout the entire process of training your dog. Over the course of a long, personalized weekend, this program is designed to give you the tools needed to conduct your own board and train within your own household.
In this program, both you and your dog will come to Blair’s guest home in Mount Shasta, CA, for an intensive weekend (Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon) of training. You will be given full lodging for the weekend on-site in Blair’s fully furnished and beautiful guest home, and he will establish a training schedule for both you and your dog for the weekend.
This weekend is comprised of 15 hours of hands-on skill work, and allows Blair to work privately with you and your dog. Working hand in hand with you, Blair will instill in your dog an understanding of his/her place in the relationship between human and dog, and demonstrate how this mindset is crucial to a dog’s emotional health and wellbeing. You will see firsthand that when this state is achieved, your dog will have a sense of calm and balance, and will have a natural orientation towards appropriate behaviors.
Blair will show you how to maintain this state, and will also give you an understanding of how to effectively lead and communicate with your dog. He also utilizes video recordings, a model of training that allows him to observe how you interact with your dog, point out the subtleties to your interaction, and make suggestions on how to be more effective.
He will help you work with your voice, your body language, and your energy to create clear communication with your dog. Your role during this weekend will be hands-on, learning proper correction and redirection techniques, as well as how to walk with your dog both on- and off-leash.
During your time with Blair, you will learn about your dog’s physical, mental, and nutritional needs. You will leave this three-day intensive program with a 30-day plan of action custom-designed by Blair for your dog.
This program includes unlimited access to Blair during the training period, as well as a lifetime commitment to you and your dog after the process.
