Services Offered
Board to Train:
Board To Train is a program during which the dog stays with the trainer for a pre-determined period of time to complete training. After training is completed, the owners then participate in a private lesson training session to teach them all of the skills necessary to maintain what the dog has learned and how to use these skills in their everyday lives.
Boarding:
General boarding for dogs who have been trained by me.
Private Lessons:
Island Canine Academy, LLC. offers one-on-one time with owners and dogs to teach puppy management, basic obedience, follow-up lessons, and behavior modification. Private lessons are provided free of charge to clients whose dogs have already completed one of our other training programs.
Puppy Selection:
If you are looking for the right puppy for your home and lifestyle, Island Canine Academy, LLC. can help you choose a specific breed if you are looking for a purebred dog. We can help with selection from a litter or shelter as all puppies are not created equal. Temperament testing and knowledge of breeds can provide a great deal of information as to whether or not a puppy will be the right fit.
Housebreaking and Puppy Management:
Getting you on the right track from the very beginning can prevent a lot of headaches and heartache when raising a puppy. We have had wonderful success in helping owners and puppies get off to a great start using strict housebreaking guidelines and teaching basic puppy-handling skills to curb behaviors such as nipping, jumping, and chewing.
Island Canine Academy, LLC. offers lifelong refresher training built into the cost of a program. We recognize that training is a 50/50 equation: 50% of the training is the dog, and 50% of the training is the owner. Once your dog has completed a training program, any follow-up lessons are free to make sure the owner is secure in handling the new skills their dog has learned.
Island Canine Academy, LLC. also offers breeding and whelping services.
