Justine, the doglady of Oregon, a professional dog trainer can help you realize your dream of a well trained family dog. Family dogs can be a big project, and the most frustrating stage of training is the first several weeks while the dog is learning how to learn. As a professional dog trainer Justine can train your dog in her home, quickly for success for your family. Board and train is sometimes the best option for the busy professional who need help with their dog and cannot find the time a young dog requires. Board and Train means the dog lives with Justine, her family and her dogs 24 hours a day in her home, getting consistent round the clock training.
Day train dogs learn the same skills, but go home with you at night to live at your house. Day train dogs must be at Justine's house 2-3 three days a week for best results. Owners must follow up on the days lessons on weekends and at night.

Three-Week Obedience Camp
The 3-week program is an intermediate-level program which focuses on practical, everyday obedience. This program provides a little bit of everything, including manners and socialization (dogs and people). All behaviors are taught with medium-level distraction proofing. This program offers the following:
Sit and Sit-Stay Down and Down-Stay Loose Leash Walking Come from 25-feet Attention (eye contact) Greeting Manners (not jumping) Waiting politely at doors and gates Waiting politely for meals Leash and training collar Light Socialization (dogs and people) My family and I also work the dog how to behave nicely in the home (remain calm, refrain from counter surfing, garbage raiding, and jumping on furniture and guests).
Dog socialization outings are an important part of training. We go places and work on obedience lessons in public.
Board and train can be an excellent choice for people who don't have the time, interest, or ability to train their dog. Once the dog has completed the program, follow up lessons will be provided for the owner. For continued success, it is vital that the owner learn how to work with their dog so that they are able to maintain their dog's newfound training and skills. Fortunately, obedience practice can easily be incorporated into a daily routine.
The effectiveness of a completed program depends on various factors, which include the proper participation of the owner, continued practice with the dog, the dog's temperament, and the health of the dog.
Because Justine only accepts one dog at a time into the family board and train program, advance reservations are necessary. Please note that we require documentation of a full, current set of immunizations for each dog. There is an additional 15% fee for all unaltered male dogs over the age of 6 months.
Please call 503 359 1676 for specifics.
Because training is an ongoing process, we will not guarantee behaviors. But I will guarantee that you go home with a well mannered dog and the tools to continue this change.
" We had invested a lot of time and money in our border collie, she was so sweet, but so disobedient, she bolted out doors, ran away and did not come when we called. We went on a trip and left her with Justine, when we came back she was so good. We went on a walk in a field off leash and she did not run away. She paid attention and we went on to do agility classes and have fun ." " My husband got a dog then went to Iraq, I had to go to the hospital for several weeks. Justine saved the day, the dog had boarded at a kennel and in three weeks at Justine's she was house broken, pen trained, came when she was called. Her house manners were great and I could walk her on a leash. House board and trains with high quality trainers are hard to find in Oregon, I was lucky I found Justine"
"I did day board and train with my Italian greyhounds, it was great and worked out for my schedule. I recommend Justine" |
