Your dog will stay in a Traction trainer’s private home and will live as part of the family. Their crate will be used if we have to leave home without them as a way of keeping them safe.
Your dog will stay with their primary trainer when possible, but may stay with another trainer from time to time. Your trainers will work together to make sure your dog’s training stays consistent during their stay.
We always use your dog’s basic obedience commands in real-life settings to keep their training consistent, but you can also add on dedicated training sessions if you’d like.
