Stay & Train Refresher
Stay & Train Refresher
A refresher stay in a Stokeshire trainer's home, used instead of boarding. Your dog trains daily under the Stokeshire Method toward goals agreed on a call before drop-off, you receive a daily update, and you get a handoff session at pickup. $200 per day, three-day minimum; drop-off and pickup days are both billed, and a late pickup is billed at $200 per day. Requirements: current vaccinations including rabies, distemper and parvovirus, and Bordetella; current flea and tick prevention; comfortable in a crate; no history of aggression toward people or dogs; females not in season; your dog's regular food; a signed stay agreement before drop-off. Stays are scheduled when no young puppy cohort is in the trainer's home. Open to every Stokeshire dog
When you travel, your dog keeps training.
Your dog stays with a Stokeshire trainer in her home, not in a kennel, for a focused refresh on what has slipped at home. When you return, a handoff session shows you what changed so the work carries home. Open to every Stokeshire dog, at any age.
