• If you live in Chicago and feel the need to
  get out for a long vacation, but are worried
  about being away from your dogs, then a board and
  train program may be the answer to your worries.
  Through a board and train program, your dog will
  learn basic obedience skills along with
  supplemented training to address any other
  behavioral issues.

• You may be looking for an easy way to train
  your dog quickly and don't have the time or
  skills to do so. Advertisements can be very
  flashy with appealing descriptions about how the
  dog trainer will take care of everything. These
  programs are effective, but do they really work?
  Let's examine how board and train works, the
  benefits, and what they entail.
• Below are some reasons why you should board
  and train your dog while you are away.

Basic Training

• Training is the most popular service. Dogs who
  board and train are taught basic commands like
  sit down and heel. Behavior issues are often
  addressed. Dogs are taught to stop jumping, pull
  on the leash, run out of the door, and
  counter-surf. Trainers may add some tricks such
  as leave it, drop it, and other commands to help
  dogs. Board and training is a great way to give
  the dog as much time as possible to work on these
  things.

Behavior Modification

• Board and train centers can also help with
  aggression, anxiety, and other problematic
  behaviors. The dog will be exposed to the
  stimulus that the dog reacts to, but at a lower
  intensity (under the threshold) during their
  stay. Different behavior modification techniques
  are used to modify the dog's behavior
  (desensitization or counter-conditioning,
  Behavior Adjustment Training, etc.). Not all
  methods are effective. Some trainers may resort
  to flooding or other methods that could
  temporarily fix the problem or aggravate it. To
  get quick results, some trainers resort to shock
  collars or choke collars. This is wrong!
