Because our board and train program is tailored for dogs five months and older, we created a unique platform named the Yappy Puppy Program. For those wanting a board and train, but their pups are too young to start, our Yappy Puppy Program bridges that gap with two private lessons before the official “board and train.”
Once pet parents sign on for a “board and train program” (which will be done at a later date when their pup is five months old and has all their shots), they will receive up to two private lessons beforehand which will include how to help pet parents with the following challenges:
- Potty training
- Crate training
- Correct ways to socialize a puppy
- How to stop mouthing and biting
- How to stop jumping
- How to address puppy shyness
- And other helpful must-have tips and guidance

Once a pet parent’s puppy has reached their five-month milestone, they can then send their dog to their two-week Basic Behavior Modification Board and Train Program where their dog will learn the following skills:
- Walking politely on a leash (i.e., not pulling on the leash, and being in a correct position)
- Recall (dog returns when called)
- Go to your place command
Pups will learn these skills under partial off-leash and partial distraction.
Pet parents can be rest assured that their puppies are being trained by top training specialists and overseen by David Greene. What their young dogs can learn in a relatively short amount of time is nothing short of impressive.
Pet parents will receive text updates every few days on what their pup is learning and how they are progressing. After the board and train is complete, pet parents will have 10 private lessons to learn the skills they need to maintain the comprehensive training of their puppy.
