The Challenge

Frankie’s owner wanted to provide her with training but felt they did not have the skills or patience needed to give her the training she required. Leaving a puppy for two weeks was initially difficult for the owner, who was understandably nervous about the extended separation.

Throughout the program, regular communication became an important part of the experience. Daily report cards, pictures, and videos helped the owner stay informed about Frankie’s progress and reassured them that she was doing well.

Before training, Frankie’s family needed support with:

  • Providing structured obedience training
  • Developing a stronger training foundation
  • Maintaining consistency
  • Understanding how to continue training at home
  • Managing newly learned boundaries after returning home

The Training Approach

Frankie participated in a 2-Week Board & Train Program with Laurie. The owner specifically highlighted the daily report cards, pictures, and videos provided during the training period. These updates helped the family understand how Frankie was doing while she was away. Laurie also remained available to answer questions during the training period and continued guiding after Frankie returned home.

The experience included:

  • Two weeks of structured board and train
  • Daily report cards
  • Training pictures and videos
  • Communication during the program
  • Trainer support for owner questions
  • Follow-up guidance after Frankie returned home

The continued guidance was particularly useful once Frankie returned and began testing the boundaries she had learned during training.

The Results

Frankie’s owner reported being very happy with the results of the two-week board and train experience. The owner said the daily updates quickly helped ease their initial concerns and gave them confidence that Frankie was doing well and receiving the training she needed. After Frankie returned home, Laurie continued guiding as Frankie adjusted to being back with her family and began testing her newly learned boundaries.

According to her owner, the experience provided:

  • A positive two-week training experience
  • Greater confidence in Frankie’s progress
  • A structured training foundation
  • Ongoing trainer communication
  • Follow-up guidance after training
  • Support for continuing training at home

The owner concluded that they were very happy with the results and highly recommended Off Leash K9 Training.

Trainer Insight

Frankie’s experience highlights that board and train can involve more than the time a dog spends with the trainer. For her owner, regular communication during the two-week program provided reassurance and helped them stay connected to Frankie’s training experience. Follow-up guidance after Frankie returned home also gave the family support as they continued working with her and encountered new challenges with maintaining her boundaries.
