Board & Train
Your dog will get worked with multiple times a day, along with walks and outings.
I focus on teaching your dog good manners and obedience, these are some of the things we work on- sit, down, off (no jumping), recall from at least 20 feet, loose-leash walking, heel, waiting at the door, “leave it” staying quite in a crate, no mouthing/nipping, fetch/playing with toys, socializing with other dogs, and meeting lots of new people.
I will work with you to create a customized plan for your dog when we have our first meeting. We start with a 30-day training period.
​
I focus on giving your dog the basis to become a well-rounded loved family dog. I use positive reinforcements, which includes treats, praise, and fun. Mild corrections are used, but all corrections are done in love.
​
I do a follow up in home upon request and allow for my board and trains to come to our group class to socialize.

"After moving to Idaho from out of state, my 5-year-old Pyrenees rescue developed some very bad behaviors that got out of hand and we needed to involve the help of a professional. After asking around, Vicki was recommended to me by three different people so I did not hesitate to reach out to her. She was very responsive and got us on her schedule sooner than I thought even possible. After just a few weeks with Vicki, we are seeing great improvements with our dog. We had multiple issues that needed addressed at the same time and Vicki set a clear plan of action for us to follow. There were times when we struggled and had questions, and Vicki made herself available each and every time to help us."

"Vicki is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. We were inexperienced puppy owners struggling to figure out how to train our ‘little’ Moose. Vicki worked with our puppy for several weeks and it definitely helped tremendously. When he returned home, walking was no longer a struggle…no more pulling, making our walks much more enjoyable for all of us. He rarely jumps up when meeting people anymore. He will wait at the door for me to say okay before he steps out, even if I’ve walked several feet to the truck. He no longer barks at us when we’re at the dinner table, most of the time he just settles and let’s us eat in peace. His recall (‘come’) and barking at other dogs/people is still a work-in-progress (he’s a stubborn one), but improving."

"Our high energy and stubborn pup was giving us fits. On a recommendation, we had him stay with Vicki for 4 weeks. He improved so much over that time and is now much better behaved. If you are feeling lost in how to train your dog, you can't ask for a better guide than Vicki. Thanks for the help!"
