In partnership with K9 Cleveland, NCD is offering day training as well as board and train programs. How do we help you and your companion? Like any good school, each session is balanced around play, learning, and times of rest. A different kind of training school, designed for the discerning dog looking for something more than the average school offers. Our sessions are designed to appropriately socialize and teach your dog without leading to the over-arousal and excitement that can sometimes happen in new situations and group classes. Each pup has his own dedicated program, to ensure that they are learning all they can!
Why choose our programs?
- No time to train? No worries, in this program our trainers will work with your dog.

- Intimate day training sessions: low number of pups for every trainer

love
While your dog is with us, you can be confident that they are being treated with the same care and respect you have come to expect from our trainers. We do not use aversives throughout the session, and work with modifying inappropriate behavior using the methods you have come to trust from our professional staff. Each pup has a curriculum designed using techniques and games that are appropriate for their needs, and will enjoy their time at school!
learn
Each session comes packed full of great activities for a curious pup. Our teachers use mental games, training games, tricks, and proof cues in the face of a variety of distractions. After a successful assessment at K9 Cleveland, your first session with NCD is an introductory meeting scheduled so we can meet you and your pup and evaluate your individual needs. At the end of day training sessions, you and your pup will receive a summary of the day's activities which include play and lessons aimed to increase responsiveness to basic cues, build confidence, and work on basic behavior issues.
In the board and train program, a training plan will be made for your pup's time at school. The program is a minimum of 6 nights and includes:
- Structured group play and socialization each day
- Training sessions each day that include:
* Response to common cues * Distraction training * Confidence building exercises * Basic behavioral issue resolution
- Supervised rest time at night in Canine Cottages
- End of the week session to demonstrate what your dog has learned, and how to maintain behaviors. Three follow on sessions to keep your pup sharp on what they learned!
Once the program is complete, you and your dog are welcome and encouraged to continue learning and socializing via day training or private sessions!
play
No day is complete without scheduled recess! Your dog's preferred play can vary each session, and will consist of play with appropriate playmates and a rousing play session with his teachers. Care is taken during play to keep pups appropriately excited, without over arousal. Like our learning sessions, play sessions are designed to best fit your pup and her needs for the day.
rest
School can be exhausting! To prevent injury and crankiness, if necessary each pup will have scheduled periods of down time to relax, chill, and watch his schoolmates learn.
