6-Week Behavior Modification Boarding Program

For dogs needing a more structured environment or help overcoming challenging behaviors, our 6-Week Behavior Modification Boarding Program provides immersive, individualized training. Your dog stays with Derrike for hands-on work multiple times per day—focusing on obedience, impulse control, and confidence in new settings.

Each program is tailored to your dog’s specific needs, whether that’s reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or lack of focus. Owners receive progress updates, video check-ins, and a private hand-off lesson to ensure success continues at home.

For owners seeking more personalized guidance, Lacross K9 Training also offers private, one-on-one sessions. These focused lessons are ideal for continuing progress after a board-and-train program or addressing specific training goals with hands-on coaching.
