Board and Train

Our #1 program is our boarding school option. Boarding school truly is the best of both worlds. Your dog will stay in a home environment with a professional trainer in the Lexington area, and will learn all of the skills that they need to be a well mannered dog. This program includes important obedience commands, socialization, and learning good manners in all aspects of life.

Distraction Program- 18 Day Board and Train

Our Distraction Board and Train program has been designed to give every dog owner the dog of their dreams. Your dog will learn important behaviors, reliable commands, and will be able to perform all of these things around people, dogs, and any other distraction you can think of.

Heeling: Your dog will walk down the street at your side, on a loose leash. They will be able to walk past people and dogs without. dragging you over to them

Recall: Your dog will come when you call them, whether they are in your house or off leash in a field at the park. You will be able to let your dog off without worrying about them running off.

Place: Your dog will be able to stay on their bed when guests come in, when you are cooking meals, or any other time where you would like them in a specific spot.

Manners: People should be able to walk through your door without your dog jumping all over them. Jumping, counter surfing, door bolting, barking (at people, dogs, or just because), and other problem behaviors are all addressed.

Stays: Your dog will lay down and stay while you are out eating at a restaurant patio, and they will hold a sit stay while you are chatting with your neighbor.

Training You: We are committed to you and your dog. Once your dog graduates, you have unlimited follow up private lessons, to be done at your place or at your favorite park. After that year, you are still part of the KDT family, and we are always available for support.

Agression Program

Some dogs really struggle with the social aspects of life, and our Aggression Program is designed to give dogs the skills they need to manage their emotions in situations that make them stressed, defensive, and prone to an aggressive response. This program is quite a bit longer than our standard program for a few different reasons. We really want to give these dogs a chance to progress at a pace that does not put them over threshold, and we also want to make sure that these students get one extremely high number of repetitions around their triggers. This program is great for dogs who are reactive or aggressive toward visitors, when out and about, toward the vet or groomer, and for dogs who resource guard.

This program includes all of the obedience commands covered in the Distraction program, with the addition of multiple management skills we will teach your dog to make your handling of them smooth and straightforward around their triggers. This program also includes a muzzle, and positive muzzle conditioning for your dog.
