      Fresh Start: 3 Week Dog Board and Train in Connecticut

      Focused on transforming your dog’s behavior and improving how they respond to you, our Fresh Start program delivers a comprehensive 3-week dog board and train experience that exclusively accommodates up to three dogs at a time. This program is meticulously designed to equip your canine companion with the skills and confidence required for a thriving life.

      If you’re wondering if Fresh Start is right for your dog, ask yourself these questions:

      1. Do you envision your dog enjoying the freedom of off-leash adventures?

      2. Is leash pulling, barking, jumping, or lunging making walks a challenge?

      3. Are you seeking solutions for overexcitement or uncontrollable behavior around guests?

      4. Does your dog struggle with fear or anxiety, hindering their ability to cope in new situations?

      5. Do you lack the time required to train your dog effectively?

      6. Are you eager to deepen your understanding of your dog’s behavior through learning about canine psychology and body language?

        Who Is Board and Train For?

        This program is recommended for owners whose dogs require behavior modification, such as addressing leash reactivity towards people, other dogs, vehicles, wildlife, etc., managing aggression towards people or other dogs, and addressing resource guarding.

        It is also suitable for owners who desire off-leash reliability, catering to lifestyles that include activities such as hiking in the woods.

        If you are the owner of a new puppy or recently adopted dog, don’t delay! Submit a behavior questionaire to reserve a spot some time down the road before any potential behavioral issues arise. Be proactive in your dog’s training by setting them up for success early!
