🐾 In-Home Training vs. Board & Train — Which is Right for You? 🐾

When it comes to dog training, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Both In-Home Lessons and Board & Train Programs have unique benefits — here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide what fits your family best:

🏡 In-Home Training Pros:
✅ Learn alongside your dog in your real-life environment
✅ Great for building daily habits and owner handling skills
✅ Flexible scheduling with personalized attention
✅ Ideal for ongoing support and confidence building

🏡 In-Home Training Considerations:
➖ Progress depends on your consistency at home
➖ May take longer for behavior change
➖ Requires your time and involvement during sessions

🏕️ Board & Train Pros:
✅ Intensive, daily training with a professional
✅ Fast progress on foundational skills and behavior issues
✅ Structured environment with controlled socialization and enrichment
✅ Great option if your schedule limits your training time

🏕️ Board & Train Considerations:
➖ Training transfer to home still requires owner follow-up
➖ Your dog will be away from home temporarily
➖ Not a “quick fix” — ongoing owner involvement is key to lasting results

At Model Paws Dog Training, we offer both options because every dog — and every family — is different. Whether you want hands-on coaching at home or a head start with a board & train program, we’re here to help you succeed.

Update on Gypsy Girl 🥰

Gypsy was originally a full training client. We were working on basic obedience, manners, and thresholds as well as walking on a leash. We had 8 sessions and honestly, she made tremendous progress. However, due to life circumstances, her people couldn’t keep up with the training daily like they wanted to and needed to in order to make the training worth it.

This is a 1 year old dog, so I offered up the idea of switching to walk and trains. Now, I go twice a week, and take Gypsy on a long walk to get some exercise and energy release while also working on some manners.

Yesterday, I picked her up and her dad stopped me. He told me that he took her for a walk the day before and he couldn’t believe the difference in her. His words were “I’ve always wanted a dog who would walk like that on a leash, but I never thought I’d have one.” SUCH a proud trainer moment 🥰

I love working with this little doodle, she’s come so far and I can’t wait to watch her world expand even more.

✨ Corgis! ✨

Everyone recognizes these guys from the social media fame they have. A lot of people know them as the Queen’s dogs. Their wiggle butts and goofy smiles are both things that make people fall in love with these short but long little floofs.

But let’s get into some facts about corgis shall we?

There are 2 types of Corgi. The Cardigan and the Pembroke. Most people are the most familiar with the Queen’s tail-less corgi, the pembroke. The Cardigan, has a long tail!

The Cardigan and the Pembroke both worked with farmers to take the cattle to grazing land and to guard the barnyard, but they don’t share a common ancestor and come from different sections of Wales. Cardigans were found in the rough, rocky terrain of Cardiganshire in southwest Wales. Pembrokes were found in the flatter, easier terrain of Pembrokeshire in southern Wales.

Physically, the Cardigan and Pembroke are both dwarf breeds with large heads and heavy, long bodies on short, thick legs. They both have pricked ears, but the Cardigan’s are larger and more rounded than the Pembroke and their double-coated fur requires little grooming besides regular bathing and brushing.

Cardigans are slightly larger, the male standard being up to 38 lbs, while the pembroke standard is 30.

The cardigans have a wider variety of standard colors. They come in brindle, black and white with brindle or tan points, red and sable with white markings, and blue merle. The only coat colors for the Pembroke are red, sable, and tricolor with white markings.

Corgis love people, and are generally very happy dogs. They are wicked smart, so training is essential! And don’t forget, they are a herding breed, so nipping and barking can definitely be a problem with these guys. If you want to welcome a corgi into your home, remember that they need a lot of exercise and would really benefit from having a job of some kind.

Who here loves corgis?! Let’s see some of your wiggle butt furry friends 🥰
