An Immersive Approach to Dog Training
One of the biggest challenges of dog training is consistency. Dogs learn through repetition, clear expectations, and reinforcement, which can be difficult to maintain during a busy schedule.
Board and Train provides a structured environment where professional trainers can work with your dog regularly. Depending on your dog’s needs, training may focus on foundational commands, leash behavior, recall, impulse control, manners, and responding appropriately around everyday distractions.
Creating Better Habits and Communication
A well-trained dog does not simply know commands. Your dog should understand what is expected in different environments and situations.
Our College Park Board and Train programs focus on building practical behaviors that make everyday life easier. Training can help create calmer walks, better responses to commands, improved manners around people and other dogs, and greater confidence when encountering new situations.
Owner involvement remains an important part of long-term success. Understanding how to reinforce your dog’s training helps maintain consistency once your dog returns home.

3 Week - Behavior Modification Programs
Our behavior modification program is best for dogs with stubborn behavioral problems and consists of more advanced concepts to modify or distinguish these undesired behaviors. We use a systematic approach to changing a dog’s behavior. During this program, we will shift your dog’s behavior from reactive behaviors to a desired one. In other words, this program is designed to change a dog’s negative reaction to a situation, person, environment, and/or animal. This module utilizes behavioral concepts such as: counter conditioning, differential association, positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, sensory flooding, exposure therapy, systematic desensitization, and behavior extinction.
Obedience is essential in all dog training, so we will also teach basic obedience behaviors that can be used in conjunction to the behavior modification module. These behaviors can be used for a more enjoyable experience in public for owner and dog alike or be used to show off how smart your new graduate is. This program also includes transitional training in one-on-one lessons where we teach you our behavior modification system and how to reinforce these desired behaviors at home.
Group Play and Socialization
We believe it is essential to instill proper socialization and playtime with other dogs so that they may co-exist and be properly socialize in a controlled environment. Dogs attending our Board and Train program get the opportunity to run and play in groups of other dogs for hours throughout the day in outdoor and indoor play yards. Dogs must pass an initial meet-and-greet evaluation conducted by Pet Care Plus to participate in group play.
Field Trips
At Prestige Dog Training, we believe that dog obedience should be implemented in all environments and not limited to the home. Our dogs travel away from our dog training academy weekly to train in both public and private training environments throughout the Chicago areas.
Our doggie students learn how to behave properly in new environments, meet new people and other dogs in public settings, and learn how to behave in areas of high distraction. Distraction proofing and teaching a dog how to behave outside of its home environment is imperative for building the best relationship possible between you and your dog.
Handler Training
Every graduate dog and family receives personal dog handler training and instruction on Graduation Day during our one-hour Go-Home session. During the session, we will introduce you to the Prestige training system, give personal guidance on how/when to properly use commands, and cover how to properly reinforce the training to create the utmost consistency and reliability in the desired behaviors. We will also give you guidance on our transitional keys to success when bringing your dog back home.
Handler instruction also includes a demonstration and hands-on training opportunities to give you an opportunity to work with your dog while receiving guidance from one of our professional dog trainers. There are also TWO Follow Up Lessons that are approximately 30 minutes long and are to be used after you take your dog home (typically after a week). Come back and work with a trainer to check in on how things are transitioning at home to make sure there are no remaining issues or questions!
