Board and Train in Huntsville, AL
Overview
I only take one board and train dog at a time. They live with me and my dog Dixie for one-week increments in Huntsville, AL, followed by a week off to return home. My living environment will set your dog up for success. I do not have a fenced-in backyard. Therefore, your dog will be on a 6’ leash for walks or a 15’ leash for enrichment when not in the house.
The Focus of the Training
My professional dog training program focuses on teaching the dog what we want it to do to stop it from engaging in unwanted behaviors. Read more about our training philosophy here.
What I teach
- Sit - vocal command and hand signal
- Down - vocal command and hand signal
- Stay - vocal command and hand signal
- Come - vocal command and hand signal
- Leave-it for impulse control

- Bed (or place) command to control space in the house

- No Jumping
- No Play biting
- No Chewing

"My family and I could not recommend a better dog trainer than Dale. Dale worked with our rescue dog, Luna, (a four year old female Lab Mix) six months after we adopted her from a local animal shelter. Luna's contentment, daily routine, obedience, and quality of life have been immeasurably improved because of Dale's work with her and our family. In addition to Dale's customized in person training at our home with Luna his book and online resources have been invaluable. If you are looking for a patient dog trainer who is dedicated to your dog and family's overall well being, then look no further than Top Gun Dog Training! Thank you, Dale! - With sincere gratitude, Luna and The Vaughn Family"
