That's why our approach is unparalleled, 780's pioneering how to board n train your dragon with multiple, active, assessments and interactive choices we'll make together before they stay.
Since each assessment cost can be used as a down-payment towards membership, we're not flipping 101 Dalmatian puppies to cover our skin.

HOW TO BOARD AND TRAIN YOUR PET DRAGON. (House Pets)
Pet dragons are low-energy even temperament house pets with easy-going personalities that get along with all people and animals aiming to please while enjoying belly rubs, treats, & playtime.They don't stress about being late for work or repeating a test because they're too cute for you to notice their tardiness and don't believe in failing.
Pet dragons require only 2 assessments in order to plan their own adventure as they are simpler to provide beginner's obedience & basic enrichment.
|
Book your first $45 assessment for boarding & training with our 100% money-back guarantee. The initial assessment date includes a 30 minute indirect obedience lesson immediately followed by a 15 minute boarding visit. |
|
Book your second $45 assessment for boarding & training with our 100% money-back guarantee. The 2nd assessment date includes a 30 minute direct obedience lesson immediately followed by a 60 minute - 2 hrs boarding drop-off. |
|
Transition to membership after finalizing the details on pick-up, re-investing the $90 as a down payment. During both assessments your pet dragon is safely introduced to the new environment, learns new behaviors by your hand, and meets staff that will continue providing the co-authored interactive options in the future. Your pet dragon is now willing to immediately enjoy a full boarding & training experience on day 1 of the stay & train. |
| Pre-book as a member their very own overnight freestyle adventure, finalizing the duration of stay with us, using your favourite style of dog training, permitting the tools of the trade we can use, providing each type of enrichment they'll receive, and the frequency of lessons per day, having decided the total number of stay-cations needed per goal, by the last assessment. |

HOW TO BOARD AND TRAIN YOUR WORKING DRAGON. (High-Drive Breeds)
Working dragons are very high-energy, sharp temperament, working bloodlines, or rescue unicorns from an unknown or troubled past.They may have wild personalities, view all animals as sport, and display less-than charming behaviors that bylaw may attempt to deem dangerous or your fake neighbours may describe as a nuisance.
They have a strong desire for a detailed job description to satisfy their clever mind.
Working dragons do not turn “off” as they will never retire, but benefit from “taking a break” instead of operating in red alert 24/7.
Working dragons require a minimum of 4 assessments when planning their own adventure as they are sensitive to anything new and trust must be earned.
They're offended easily, can have delayed stress responses, and often exhibit complex behavior challenges, when providing intermediate to advanced obedience or enrichment.
Working dragons are great at training their trainers and uber-sensitive to your energy, here's 780's unique approach:
|
Book your first $45 assessment for boarding & training with our 100% money-back guarantee. The initial assessment date includes a 30 minute indirect obedience lesson immediately followed by a 15 minute boarding visit. |
|
Book your second $45 assessment for boarding & training with our 100% money-back guarantee. The 2nd assessment date includes a 30 minute direct obedience lesson immediately followed by a 60 minute - 2 hrs boarding drop-pff. |
|
Book your third $45 assessment for boarding & training with our 100% money-back guarantee. The 3rd assessment date includes a 30 minute enrichment activity immediately followed by a 1/2 day to full day boarding drop-off. |
|
Book your fourth $45 assessment for boarding & training with our 100% money-back guarantee. The 4th assessment date includes a different enrichment activity immediately followed by another 1/2 day to full day boarding drop-off. |
|
Transition to membership after finalizing the details on pick-up, re-investing the $180 as a down payment. During all 4 assessments your working dragon is slowly introduced to the new workspace, has dynamic experiences by your side, and gives permission for staff to temporarily join the team as co-authored best practices in the future. Your working dragon may now entertain a full boarding & training experience on day 1 of the stay & train. We'll confirm by email as sometimes they take a couple more days to warm-up before we can officially charge for the “training” aspect. 780's approach is far better than industry norm of “cold-turkey” drop-offs where the wanna-be Caesar's force their way on your working dragon, while un-trainable hours magically get recorded as billable, at your unicorn's expense. |

HOW TO BOARD AND TRAIN YOUR BABY DRAGON. (Puppies under 6 months)
Baby dragons are ages 8 weeks to 6 months whether they are low-to-mid energy companion cubs, high-drive working whelps, or rescue unicorns with an unknown pedigree.Depending on their exact age in the canine life cycle, they're either in the Socialization Period (22-84 days) or Juvenile Period (12 weeks to 6 months).
Baby dragons require only 1 assessment when planning their stay-cation as they benefit greatly from safe canine bonding & fun human bonding learning by association.
You can't over-socialize a baby dragon but you can under-socialize if you miss important imprinting windows.
The permanent human/dog bonding has begun so they can accept gentle discipline & establish confidence when providing safe socialization & fun activities.
Baby dragons require 24/7 attention and patience, here's 780's unique approach:
|
Book your first $45 assessment for puppy boarding & training with our 100% money-back guarantee. The initial assessment date includes a 30 minute meet & greet with fun learning, immediately followed by a 15 minute boarding exploration & nap time. |
|
Transition to membership after finalizing the details on pick-up, re-investing the $45 as a down payment. During the 1st assessment your baby dragon is safely introduced to the new school campus, meets their new teachers, and is ready for the best puppy education co-authored by your family. Your baby dragon will enjoy a full puppy boarding & training experience on the 1st day of school. |

BOARD AND TRAIN RED FLAGS.
| Guaranteed results |
| Costly upfront charges |
| Mysterious approaches |
| Cookie-cutter programs |
| Claims to fix your dog |
| Don't distinguish house pets from working bloodlines |
| Fear-based marketing |
| No introductory process |

| No business license |
BUYER BEWARE IN AN UNREGULATED INDUSTRY.
Beware claims for “guaranteed results” that come with costly upfront charges for mysterious approaches not explained from only 3 options that'll “fix” what isn't broken all before meeting your unique unicorn!Beware of fear mongering that targets your emotions with hot keywords such as “board and train for aggressive dogs” or “dog reactivity boarding & training”.
Unless they're experts in dog protection sports - they're not qualified to help with these dangerous dog behaviors.
Red flags may include the words “euthanasia” or “re-homing” for fear, rather than our about us page that shares goodwill in providing alternatives for the pet community.
If you know how to teach a guardian breed puppy “to bite” using fun methods, you can command an adult personal protection dog “not to bite”.
780 no longer markets specializing in large, aggressive, rescue dogs, because we understand most of these cases are just high-drive working or guardian type breeds that need a new job description.
Also, the best doggy medicine is preventative care, such as safe socializing & enriching activities starting as early as possible with consistency, as promoted on our puppy page.
But never a “crash-course” in new manners from a stranger while in a foreign environment!
A slow introduction and maintained familiarization to the new environment and temporary caregivers is detailed on our private boarding page.
If you don't have a time machine, have no fear, because now is the best time for all breeds & personalities to freestyle their own adventure before a stay.

Q: Can I save up the monthly freebies?
A: No, they expire every month if not used.
Q: Can I use a free monthly lesson for B'n'T?

A: Learn more about 780 and boarding, and training, and classes.
Q: What is the difference between sleepovers, same-day training, & puppy stay-cations?
A: Sleepovers are for overnight, weekend, or longer boarding stays with training / enrichment.
The rate is calculated as $45 board + $30 train = $75 per calendar day.
Same-day training is a single day visit with training / enrichment provided after 7-9am drop-off and before 4-6pm pick-up.
Day trains are calculated as $22.50 per day + $30 per train = $52.50.
Puppy stay-cations are for whelps under 6 months whether visiting for a single day or staying for overnights.
Puppy stay-cation rates are calculated as $22.50 per day + $30 per train = $52.50.
These are starting rates, we can discuss all socialization, enrichment, & training options available during the assessments.
Q: How come 780's Freestyle Board 'n' Train is so much cheaper than everyone else?
A: Because we've decided to clean up the cash-grab industry by being transparent with pricing per day, per training, per enrichment, to reveal the shady practices taking advantage of innocent animals and families in Greater Edmonton.
Also raising awareness of misleading/ vague offers for the general care each dog will receive in the foreign environment, with a stranger, claiming their ability to wash-away their genetics & learned behaviors.
Specializing in the high-drive working class and dog sport breeds that are often preyed on with terms such as aggression, reactive, or dangerous.
All breeds, behaviors, & personalities are welcome.
We encourage repeat visits for all services rather than one-stop-cure-all's.

The rate is calculated as $45 board + $30 train = $75 per calendar day.
Same-day training is a single day visit with training / enrichment provided after 7-9am drop-off and before 4-6pm pick-up.
Day trains are calculated as $22.50 per day + $30 per train = $52.50.
Puppy stay-cations are for whelps under 6 months whether visiting for a single day or staying for overnights.
Puppy stay-cation rates are calculated as $22.50 per day + $30 per train = $52.50.
These are starting rates, we can discuss all socialization, enrichment, & training options available during the assessments.
Q: How come 780's Freestyle Board 'n' Train is so much cheaper than everyone else?
A: Because we've decided to clean up the cash-grab industry by being transparent with pricing per day, per training, per enrichment, to reveal the shady practices taking advantage of innocent animals and families in Greater Edmonton.
Also raising awareness of misleading/ vague offers for the general care each dog will receive in the foreign environment, with a stranger, claiming their ability to wash-away their genetics & learned behaviors.
Specializing in the high-drive working class and dog sport breeds that are often preyed on with terms such as aggression, reactive, or dangerous.
All breeds, behaviors, & personalities are welcome.
We encourage repeat visits for all services rather than one-stop-cure-all's.
