Excerpt for Blog: The Sad Truth About Board and Train: Why Your Dog Needs You in the Process (and How Remote Training Can Help)
Board and train programs seem like a convenient solution—you drop your dog off, they come back "fixed." But I’ve learned through years of experience that real, lasting change doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens when you’re part of the process.
When dogs are removed from their comfort zones and placed in unfamiliar environments, they often become stressed, anxious, or even develop new issues. The sad truth is that many board and train facilities can’t replicate the specific environment where your dog struggles, like the home they’re guarding or the yard they’re territorial over. Plus, without you in the picture, who will they bond with and learn to trust?
Remote training, on the other hand, keeps your dog where they’re comfortable and allows you to take an active role. Not only does it build trust between you and your dog, but it also addresses their unique emotional needs in real-time, in the environment where the behaviors actually matter. It’s not about a quick fix; it’s about building a strong, lasting relationship that helps your dog feel safe, confident, and connected.

If your dog did eat chocolate, consider the type and amount ingested, as well as the size of the animal. If the amount your pet ingested, provides a dose that is potentially large enough to cause symptoms, seek veterinary help immediately. Call your veterinarian or the nearest emergency center for advice if you are in doubt or cannot tell how much chocolate your pet ate.
