Dave only takes in 2-3 Board and Train dogs at a time and dogs receive training, engagement, & play/socialization 7 days a week.

​

This is a 3 week immersion training program in which Dave will do all the foundational training for you. Your dog will live with Dave for 3 weeks while receiving training and play/socialization every single day. Dogs are trained in a variety of environments such as neighborhoods, walking paths, local parks and hiking trails, US National Whitewater Center, pet-friendly stores like Lowes, Home Depot and Cabelas, etc. Owners receive constant updates (pictures and videos) of their dog's progress during it's training journey. Once your dog has a solid foundation of training then it is your turn to be trained! After the immersion Board and Train program, Dave will provide you 3 complementary private sessions (up to 2 hours each) in your home environment and your local area to help teach you how to communicate, handle and engage with your dog properly. You will also have FREE access to Allegiant K9s Pack Walks & Hikes for on-going support. Your dog will also have access to Allegiant K9s Overnight Dog Camps and Exclusive Boarding as well.
