Family Dog: the 7-day board & train.
A full week of training for a calm, mannerly dog the whole family can enjoy.
Family Dog is a 7-day board and train. It gives your dog three times the training of Blitz, which leaves room to tighten up behavior and add more commands. If you want a genuinely well-behaved family dog, this is the program I usually recommend.

Winston’s owner let me film him before she dropped him off. The final footage was taken on the day she picked him up.
What you can expect
The goal is a calm dog who doesn’t jump, bark, or cause a ruckus. Your dog also works on:
- Sit, down, stay, and wait
- Heel on a loose leash
- Off, quiet, and bed
- Calm manners at the door and around guests
How the week works
- Book a consultation. Use the form, or call or text 260-238-8675.
- Drop-off. Your dog spends the week with me and stays overnight in my climate-controlled building. Visits are by appointment only.
- Pick-up session. We do a personalized 1-on-1 session, usually about an hour. Stay until you’re confident you know exactly what to do at home.
- Living with it. Keep applying the same philosophy and skills. Your relationship with your dog keeps improving the longer you stick with it.
Family Dog or Blitz?
Blitz is a 3-day reset. Family Dog is a full week, with more time for the details that make a dog easy to live with. Not sure which fits? Tell me about your dog and I’ll recommend one.
