Springdale, Arkansas
What we see
from Springdale
Springdale is about 25 minutes from our property, and most Springdale clients pick Board & Train for exactly that reason: driving twice a week for lessons is a real commitment when you are working shifts.
We also see a lot of working and guardian breeds out of Springdale. Those dogs are not badly behaved. They are under-employed. A dog bred to work that gets a yard and a food bowl will invent a job, and the job it invents is rarely one you wanted.
Structure, clear communication, and something to do fixes more Springdale cases than any correction ever has.
