The Half-Day Shadow Program is a VIP service for clients whose dog(s) has already completed one of our Board & Train programs. Going further than the basics of our dog training methodology and philosophy this four-hour experience takes you “behind the curtain” and allows you to see how the BDB team calmly fulfills and works with a pack of 15-25 dogs (all with behavioral issues). The half-day program will include a large pack walk and socialization so you can experience the pack life.

The Full Day Shadow Program is a VIP service for clients whose dog(s) has already completed one of our Board & Train programs. This eight-hour experience takes you “behind the curtain” and allows you to see how the BDB team uses our dog training methodology and philosophy to work with a pack of 15-25 dogs (all with behavioral issues). The program will include a large pack walk, socialization, treadmill training, working hands-on with one of our training dogs, and a consultation (or follow-up/evaluation) so you can experience the full BDB daily life!

Are you ready to take a dive into the BDB dog training methodology and philosophy? Our Three Day Shadow Program is not for the casual dog behavior fan. We will cover a LOT of material and will also put your skills to the test by having you work hands-on with our dogs. If you are a business owner, we will also cover numerous business topics with homework each day.

While there are certain concepts and activities that we will certainly cover, each Shadow Program is slightly different as we tailor the experience for the student based on what they find most relevant. 

If you have already been through our Shadow I program and feel as though you’ve mastered those techniques/topics, Shadow II is for you.

As much as we cover in Shadow I, we only touch the tip of the iceberg. As you grow as a dog handler and business owner, you will be able to tackle more complex and nuanced topics. Let’s take your handling and business skills to the next level.
