The 2 weeks board and train is the best foundation and learning experience for puppies. My 7 month standard goldendoodle is an intelligent and affectionate and playful pup who met people and other dogs with overwhelming exuberance...so much so that it was problematic. Hope taught Journey manners at all thresholds, recall through fun and safe games, and safe and happy co-existance with my 8 year old dog. I can drop a handful of treats and Journey won't touch them with the leave it command. Whereas before i walked one dog st a time, guess what...i can walk both dogs easily and comfortably. My relationship with Journey has grown into more trust , listening and awareness of each other! On my first day home with my new beautiful, delightful and loving puppy, I had company for a meal and Journey happily watched us and amused herself with a toy at her 'place' . Both my dogs and I are just thrilled at spending time with each other. Thank you Hope for helping us realize the joy that Journey can share and participate in.
