What owners are saying
Our rescue dog had severe anxiety. He spent 8 weeks there for board and train, and it was the best decision. He is a gentle, kind, loving dog now, and the training really reduced his anxiety.

★★★★★I can't recommend High Caliber Working Dogs enough. My Australian shepherd was incredibly reactive and even showed some aggression, making leaving the house with him a challenge.
Rayleen Butler Google Review -
★★★★★The expertise at High Caliber Working Dog Training was impressive. Andrew clearly knows how to get results while keeping everything user friendly, no matter where my puppy was he met her at her skill level.

Things owners ask
How long is a typical board and train?
Two flat-priced tracks: a 4-week program at $3,800 and an 8-week program at $6,400. Both run six days a week, two sessions a day at our Upland facility. The 8-week version is the same system with deeper reps and more public proofing.
What does it cost?
Board and train is flat-priced: $3,800 for 4 weeks, $6,400 for 8 weeks. Behavior modification, aggression, puppy, and house training are scoped on the free consultation since the work is customized.
Do you take aggression and reactivity cases?
Yes. Reactivity, fear, anxiety, separation distress, dog aggression, human aggression, and resource guarding are all in scope. We will be honest with you on the consultation about runway and realistic outcome.
What does the day-to-day look like?
Six days a week, two structured training sessions per day at our Upland facility, plus structured downtime in between. Andrew runs every session personally, no salespeople, no rotating handlers.
What are the owner follow-ups?
You graduate with private owner follow-up sessions: three on the 4-week, six on the 8-week. The handover is part of the program. We teach you the system so you can maintain and extend it at home.
Will I get a written plan?
For behavior, aggression, and custom programs, yes. After the free consultation we put a clear plan in front of you: what we are doing, why, and how we will measure success.
