What Makes Fairview Boarding's Dog School Different
Do you love your dog but wish they would listen to you?
Does the thought of taking them out in public, stress you out?
Don't get stressed, bring them to Fairview Boarding's Dog School!
Our Dog School training programs focus on teamwork and positive reinforcement.
We never use prong collars, e-collars or any other fear/pain based methods. Our proven, positive training approach will teach your dog manners, obedience skills and help eliminate unwanted behaviors. Through our exclusive training programs, you will have a happy, well-mannered dog you can take anywhere!
FOCUS ON TEAMWORK
Positive reinforcement is simple: if your dog is rewarded for doing a certain behavior, there's a better chance of that behavior happening again. In other words, if there are good consequences, behavior is likely to be repeated. The behavior has therefore been positively reinforced. The use of positive reinforcement methods for teaching dogs has been endorsed by veterinarians and the behavioral scientific community at large as the most effective, long-lasting, humane, and safe method of training dogs.
WHAT IS POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT?
The strongest relationships between dogs and humans are based on cooperation and kindness rather than on human dominance and animal submission. If you choose to use positive techniques when building a relationship with your dog, you're well on your way to establishing and maintaining a connection that increases trust and results in a stronger, healthier bond. Put simply, if your dog feels good about you, they will be happier, more confident, and more likely to respond to you when you ask them to do something.
WHY WE DON'T USE E-COLLARS
There are a few types of collars you should never use on your dog and at the very top of that list is a shock or electronic collar. Many dog parents don’t understand the physical and behavioral issues these collars can create. This is unfortunate, as dogs continue to suffer pain in the name of training, and their parents are often unaware of the consequences.Training dogs using pain and intimidation increases the likelihood of stress behaviors, mistrust, fear, and aggression. E-collars may force a dog to stop a behavior at that moment, but the stress and anxiety they cause can lead to more aggression in the future and can cause entirely new behavioral problems.
Training Induction Program
At Fairview Boarding, every training quest begins with our tailored 2-Day Training Induction Program—a one-on-one, personalized evaluation designed to truly get to know your dog.
Over two days, our trainer takes the time to explore your dog’s personality, activity level, interests, learning style, and current training knowledge, along with all the unique quirks that make them special. This thoughtful, hands-on process allows us to understand what makes your dog happiest and most engaged. With these insights, we craft a customized training plan that aligns with their individual needs and learning style, ensuring your dog enjoys the most rewarding and effective Fairview Boarding training experience possible.
​
The Training Induction is an assessment designed to uncover your dog’s potential. During the Training Induction, your dog will:
-
Enjoy two full days of professional care and personalized, one-on-one interaction with our expert trainers, allowing us to truly understand their unique personality, preferences, and learning style
-
They’ll also receive an all-access pass to our Enrichment Adventure of the Day, where they can explore, play, and engage their senses in new and exciting ways
-
The experience concludes with a special visit to our Scent Space, a fun and stimulating environment that encourages natural curiosity and confidence
-
At the end of the program, you’ll receive a copy of our exclusive Training Induction Assessment, detailing your dog’s evaluation results and our recommended training program—custom-tailored to help your pup thrive
*All dogs must be up-to-date on Rabies, DHLPP (DAPP) & Bordetella to enter the facility.
