Board and Train
The Board & Train programs allow you to bring your dog to our facility for training and modification. The program includes a go home lesson where we show you everything your dog has learned, teach you how to maintain such behaviors, and two follow up lessons to be used at any time.
The recommended program and duration of the stay will be discussed during the evaluation and will be based on your needs and goals. During the dog's stay they will be working with a dedicated trainer numerous hours per day, plus play time, and rest time. Dogs will have one day free of training per week, where they will enjoy play time.

• Dogs over 16 weeks of age and fully vaccinated.
• Basic obedience commands under distraction, in public places, and under stressful circumstances.

Puppy Right Start
At Elite K-911 we like to start with our dogs at an early age with socialization. We'll teach them to be curious about new things while exploring the world they live in. They will also learn to be comfortable while on a leash without jumping and pulling, as well as practicing basic house manners.

Puppies between age of 8-16 weeks old that have had their second round of vaccines are eligible to join this class. It is a group class (5 puppies max), necessary for proper socialization skills. We encourage families to participate, so every family member can also learn the proper way to consistantly train their puppy for positive results.

E-Collar Training
We have used low level stimulation to help dogs overcome leash reactivity using Remote Collar Training. We have found with dogs that are reactive on leash we can use a much more subtle communication to the dog to gain their attention to focus back on us as the handler, and show them we have control of the situation so they don't need to be concerned. At times leash pressure can add to the excitement or frustration the dog feels when in a reactive state of mind. The remote collar is a useful tool to add less pressure to the dog to communicate to the dog and not add additional frustration.
Another example of use for Remote Collar Training is when a dog may be outside in his or her fenced in yard, comes running and slams into the back door to tell their humans they are ready to come inside. That behavior can not only be dangerous to the dog as it could hurt the dog, but also can do damage to your door. After we teach the dog what the collar means with low levels of stimulation, we can begin teaching the dog by communicating with the collar to resolve behaviors like this.
***Important things to know***
• We do NOT shock dogs. •We use units that are stimulation like that of TENS units used by physical therapists to stimulate blood flow to the muscle.
• We use units that have settings that allow for very subtle increases in stimulation level.
• We use low level stimulation and vibrate to condition the dog to understand pressure on and off as if it were a tap on the shoulder to say "pay attention to me (the handler)."
• We do NOT just increase stimulation levels because the dog is being "stubborn." We work with the dog to determine where the breakdown in communication is.
