Ten days of intensive training for your dog by a professional dog trainer.  Your dog stays at Animal Lodge and gets trained by the trainer.  This is an OFF LEASH PROGRAM.  That means when you pick your dog up you will be able to control him without a leash.  
He will learn all the basic commands and mannors like sit, lay down, come, stay, walk nicely on a leash, leave it, drop it and more and problem behaviors like jumping on guests and running out doors will be stopped.  You will receive his remote training collar, written commands and instructions, a follow up private lesson that is held in a park, and one year of group classes you can use as needed for follow up training.
