College Program
Waldo’s Alternative Ed offers an intensive board-and-train program tailored specifically for dogs that exhibit challenging behaviors. Our primary objective is to cultivate a calm, cohesive, and obedient companion, addressing issues such as anxiety, reactivity, and ADHD-like behaviors. The program features a flexible end date, as progress in behavioral modifications is closely aligned with the dog's comfort level.
Waldo, a 1.5-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, came to us displaying symptoms such as bloodshot eyes, ADHD-like behavior, severe anxiety, and difficulty settling or sleeping at night. After three months in our program, Waldo is now the picture of health with clear eyes, a consistent sleep schedule, and the ability to relax in diverse environments, in addition to demonstrating exceptional obedience. Waldo’s journey inspired the establishment of Waldo’s Alternative Ed, and we take great pride in his achievements.
Eight+ Week Stay
Investment: $7,200
Waldo’s Alternative Ed
Upon board & train completion, you also have access to these great programs!
Investment: $85 per night (includes boarding)
Want your dog to be added to the training schedule for their stay? We can clean up some behaviors, and help to keep all the training sharp! This is available for board and train, and day training graduates for week day boarding. All training is done in the facility.
Refresher Boarding
Investment: $525 per week
Need some extra help with your pup after a board and train? Maybe some more help after your follow-up lessons? Or maybe your pup developed some new habits overtime and you’d like to get them fixed. This helps keep dogs in tune, helps ward off new habits that you’d like fixed AND gives your pup another option during their stay. For our refresher board and trains, these include outings and field trips!
