Board & Train: Behaviour Rehabilitation

Board & Train: Behaviour Rehabilitation


Description:

Behaviour Rehabilitation is a Board & Train program for problematic dogs with extreme behavioural issues, too difficult to address and correct through in-home private training. The program is appropriate for dogs of any age, experiencing high intensity to red-zone (over-threshold) behaviour issues. One of the more common issues is fear and insecurity, which lead to various forms of reactive behaviour.

The program involves your dog residing at our location for a period of 4 to 8 weeks. The disengagement of the dog from their home environment makes it much easier on them, because he or she will be in a new environment, without any pre-existing patterns and behaviours. Once a dog is removed from their environment, it can take up to a week for an aggressive, anxious, or fearful dog to begin to trust the new handler and start to adapt to the new requirements. During this time, the dog will basically detox and start on a fresh slate.

The program is tailored to both your goals as well as the needs of your dog. Just like humans, dogs are unique individuals and therefore require individualized training plans according to their temperament and personality. We find the source of the problem, rather than just focusing on the symptoms, and engineer a personalized training solution, specific to your dog, to address the core issue of the behaviour.

The duration and cost of the program depend on the nature and severity of your dog’s behaviour, as well as how much work and time is required to correct and reshape his or her behaviour and responses, before having a proper introduction back to your home environment.

Included in the program are in-home training lessons, taking place during and after the rehabilitation, covering Theory, Practice and Implementation of the newly taught behaviours. These in-home training lessons are designed to educate and equip you with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to better manage your dog’s behaviour, as well as provide continued help and support to ensure long-lasting results.

Behavioural issues include:
  • Fear, insecurity, nervousness, skittish, hypersensitive
  • Anxiety (mild to extreme), separation anxiety, distress
