Transforming Troubled Pups

At Command Canine, we embark on a journey with every dog and their owner, to uncover the unique potential of the relationship.

Board & Train

Our board and train program creates dramatic and lasting changes in the behavior of our clients’ dogs. We know that being away from your pup can both create anxiety or elation! However, Board & Train programs (BNT) offer you and your dog the highest rate of success. We believe the longer you can stand to let us train your pup, the better and more stable your dog will return home! That is why we offer each client two time options for consideration. We offer 2 and 3 week programs. Our 3 week BNT is our most requested program. Longer programs are customizable if your dog is assessed to need them. Our board and train programs are a comprehensive behavior modification experience proven to transform your dog from a stressor to a companion.

(Small breed dogs and or pups with high anxiety do not do well in a BNT environment in our experience and should be considered for private lessons with their handler)

What You Can Expect:

  • We will listen and understand your goals and the issues that you currently face with your dog.

  • We will develop a set of goals for the training and outline a system for achieving them.

  • Your dog will be boarded in our facility for a 2 or 3 week period

    Come - Upon hearing this command your dog will come to you

    Heel - Upon hearing this your dog will (on-leash only) walk beside you with his/her shoulder in line with your leg in a relaxed position

    Place - Upon hearing this command your dog will go to any raised object with definable boundaries (cot, bench, rock, etc.) that you point too and remain there until released

2 Hour Training Session

2 hour training session at your home or at our Palestine, TX facility. If our Board & Train program is not for you, then we recommend our private lesson options. We love this option because it allows for hands-on learning with a trainer. You will watch and participate in the training of your dog as well as take ownership your dog’s success.
While this may not be for everyone, we have seen lots of success utilizing these trainings with owners who like to take an active role in the training process. You will learn science backed techniques that build your dog’s confidence and develop happy, emotionally stable, and well mannered dogs of all ages.

What You Can Expect:

  • We will listen and understand your goals and the issues that you face with your dog.

  • We will work together to teach your dog the “Basic Commands”. They are:

    Sit - Upon hearing this command your dog will sit

    Wait - Upon hearing this command your dog will stay in the requested position until released

    Down - Upon hearing this command your dog will get down into a prone position on the floor or object

    Come - Upon hearing this command your dog will come to you

    Heel - Upon hearing this your dog will (on-leash only) walk beside you with his/her shoulder in line with your leg in a relaxed position

    Place - Upon hearing this command your dog will go to any raised object with definable boundaries (cot, bench, rock, etc.) that you point too and remain there until released

  • You will be given the training to utilize the basic commands

  • We will give advice for re-enforcing training at home
