We offer three different Board and Train programs at Highland Canine Training for dog owners in Alabama. The duration and type of program suitable for your dog will depend on their experience and the level of training required. Speak to a member of our team today or fill out our contact form for more information.

Basic Board And Train Dog Training $1,750

On-Leash Dog Training

Our basic or on-leash board and train package lasts for three weeks.

This is a great program for dogs who have had no professional dog training. During our basic program, we will teach the dog to sit, down, stay, come, place, and to heel. Your dog will learn to perform the commands – even without treats and under considerable distractions. We will proof them during the board and train program. We also work on any issues you may be experiencing with your dog, such as; jumping on people, barging out the door, getting on furniture, counter surfing, and pulling on the leash.

Included with our Basic Board And Train Dog Training Program is a video of your dog’s training, as well as one-on-one training with you when you pick them up. With any of our training programs, we also offer free follow-up training for as long as you own the dog.

Advanced Board And Train Dog Training $2,150

Off-Leash Dog Training

Our Advanced or Off Leash Board And Train package lasts for three weeks. This program works well for dogs who have previously been through our basic program or an equivalent.

During our Advanced Board and Train Dog Training Program, we will teach the dog to sit, down, stay, come, place, and to heel – all completely off-leash. Much like our basic training program, we ensure your dog will respond to commands even with distractions, by maintaining the dog’s focus through a variety of situations.

If your dog has any issues such as jumping up, counter surfing, jumping on furniture, and pulling on the leash, these issues will be addressed in this program. Included with this program is an instructional video of your dog’s training, a Dogtra remote training collar, and one-on-one training with you when you pick the dog up.

With any of our training programs, we offer free follow-up training for as long as you own the dog.

Boot Camp Board And Train Dog Training $3,550

On and Off Leash Dog Training

Our most popular board and train package, our Boot Camp program lasts for six weeks and is great for owners who want off-leash results from a dog that has never had any previous professional dog training.

The Boot Camp board and train program teaches the dog to sit, down, stay, come, place, and to heel, both on and off leash. With our Boot Camp Board and Train, we are able to build a solid foundation for your dog and work through the stages of training at the dog’s pace. We will expose your dog to a variety of different environments, distractions, and situations during our Boot Camp Training.

This course is also the best option for owners with dogs with behavioral problems such as: biting, fighting, phobias, resource guarding, territorial aggression, growling, snapping, fear aggression, and dominance aggression.

Included with this program is a video of your dog’s training, a Dogtra remote training collar, and one-on-one training with you when you pick the dog up.

With any of our training programs, we offer free follow-up training for as long as you own the dog.
