TRAINING BREAKDOWN

What Your Dog Learns In Three Weeks.

Every command your dog learns is built for real life, not just a quiet training room. Your dog starts with the core obedience commands, come, sit, down, place, and heel, then moves into loading, breaking, and the “no” command for clear, consistent communication.
From there, training shifts toward the real world. Your dog builds loose leash walking and an introduction to reliable off-leash obedience, then works through public access training and neutrality around people and other dogs. Every session builds confidence and proofs the behavior in real environments, so it holds up wherever life takes you.

  • Off-Leash Foundations　
  • Public Access Training

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Your dog lives at our Central Virginia facility for three weeks and trains daily with a certified Skyline K9 trainer. They work through structured sessions in real-world environments, and you stay updated the whole time through daily report cards, photos, and videos.
Yes, especially if your dog struggles with pulling, jumping, poor recall, counter surfing, or a general lack of structure. It's also the right starting point if you want to work toward off-leash reliability and a dog that behaves consistently at home and in public.
You'll get a turnover lesson where your trainer walks you through every command and technique your dog learned. You'll also receive an e-collar and slip lead along with the exact handling instructions to keep the training holding up at home.
That's the entire point of the turnover lesson. Your trainer works directly with you and your dog together before the program ends, so the commands, timing, and handling transfer to you, not just to us.
Every Summit Stay & Train graduate gets lifetime support from our team, along with free eligibility for the Skyline K9 Alumni Pack Walk. Refresher training and additional training weeks are also available if you want to keep building on what your dog has learned.
Board and train removes the gaps between sessions. Your dog trains every single day instead of once a week, which means no time for old habits to creep back in between visits. Most owners see a completely different dog within the first week.
