Study Abroad program
Structure
Prior to booking
A behavior evaluation is required prior to booking a Study Abroad program. This ensures that you, your dog, and your trainer are comfortable with each other before training begins.
You’ll then receive a detailed goals sheet specifying exactly what your dog will learn during their stay and what to expect at pick-up.
Drop off
On the first day of training, you’ll drop your dog off at your trainer’s home, where they’ll be living and training around the clock.
Weeks One - Two/Three
Most Study Abroad programs are 2 weeks long, although some are longer as determined in the behavior evaluation. You’ll receive daily video, photo, and text updates on your dog’s training and adventures.
Pick Up
You’ll spend 2+ hours with your trainer at pick-up learning how to use your dog’s new skills and maintain consistency for them. You’ll have specific instructions for implementing new behaviors in your home as well as step by step written instructions and a library of video tutorials recorded with your dog.
Maintenance
One follow up session or your first month of Varsity is included in this program.
