Residency Programs

Residency program dogs come to stay with us for 2-3 weeks.

The 2-week On-Leash Residency ($1600) covers the following commands: sit, heel with auto sit, down from side, down from front, and come. Also covers simple behavior issues i.e. leash pulling, jumping and mouthing.

Program includes two weeks of boarding and daily daycare at Chewie’s, daily training and practice private sessions, a family go-home learning session at Chewie’s and one follow-up recheck session at Chewie’s. Training equipment included.

The 3-week Off-Leash Residency ($2500) covers the same commands as above, but with off-leash accomplishment.
This program is a good choice for dogs who may have more severe behavioral issues or owners who want a controlled offleash companion. Program includes training equipment, one go-home training session and one follow-up recheck training session at Chewie’s.

Residency programs are great for owners who don’t have the time to dedicate to the original training. Residency programs are also useful with dogs that might do better with initial concentrated learning from a professional trainer. Also a great choice for owners who do not live locally to Nashua.
