“She is a different dog! Before she left, she pulled at the leash, charged at cars, and was generally unruly.”
KB **Karen Butler**Verified client review

“Short answer: HIGHLY RECOMMEND Long answer: My 2 y/o dog, Gamble, spent 3 weeks with Maloree (Portland, OR area) to address leash reactivity and other non-aggressive, excitable behaviors – and the results have been AWESOME.”

Questions
## Frequently asked questions
What is a Hybrid Dog Training program?+
A Hybrid Dog Training program offers the best of both worlds by combining an intensive Board & Train reset with private, in-home follow-up coaching sessions. First, your dog stays with a professional trainer to establish core behaviors and foundation skills. Then, we work directly with you in your home environment to seamlessly transfer those skills into your daily routine.
What is the main benefit of choosing a hybrid program over standard private lessons or board & train alone?+
Hybrid training bridges the gap between professional handler execution and owner application. Board & Train does the heavy lifting of breaking bad habits and shaping new behaviors in a structured, immersive environment. The subsequent in-home lessons ensure you learn proper handling, timing, and consistency in your dog’s actual living environment.
Which dogs are best suited for the Hybrid Training program?+
Hybrid training is ideal for dogs with mild to severe behavioral challenges—such as leash reactivity, separation anxiety, aggression, and poor impulse control—where a foundational reset is needed alongside active owner involvement to sustain real-world results.
What happens during the in-home portion of the hybrid program?+
After your dog completes their Board & Train stay, our trainers hold step-by-step coaching sessions with you in and around your home. We teach you how to maintain boundaries, enforce commands, manage household triggers, and walk confidently in your neighborhood.
Does the Hybrid Training program include ongoing support after lessons end?+
Yes! Every program includes 12 months of digital support through the LunaDogAI app. This provides step-by-step video guidance, custom lesson plans, and real-time support so you can keep your dog’s training sharp long after formal sessions end.
