Obedience Board & Train Options
Board & Train Program
Our Board & Train program allows your dog to stay with Quintessential
Cane Corso and receive at least 3-4 private sessions daily. This helps speed up learning,
expand training, and address specific goals. Owners are welcome to join training sessions
for a smoother transition home.
o 1-Week & 2-Week Options Available
o Lifetime Coaching & unlimited refresher sessions
Day Training Program
Our Day Training program offers a balanced alternative to traditional board and train programs and private lessons. It reduces the owner's workload while allowing your dog to remain with you daily, rather than being away for extended periods. Your pet will attend Quintessential Cane Corso for the day, taking part in a minimum of three individual training sessions.
- Option 1: Pay per Day
- Option 2: Pay per Week (3 Days per week. Requires a 2-week commitment. 1 free refresher session)
(Pick up/Drop Off Fee - $50 up to 40 mile radius)
AKC Show Handling (Limited Availability)
We are pleased to offer AKC show handling services on a limited, hobby-based basis for select conformation events throughout Florida and, occasionally, the broader Southeast region. While we are not professional handlers, we bring genuine passion, hands‑on experience, and a deep understanding of canine structure and presentation—especially within the Cane Corso breed.
Our handling availability is selective and seasonal, as we participate in shows for the enjoyment of the sport and the opportunity to help quality dogs shine in the ring. If you’re seeking a handler who values patience, communication, and breed‑appropriate presentation, we’re happy to discuss whether your dog may be a good fit for our schedule.
IGP Helper Services - Coming Soon
What Is an IGP Helper?
An IGP helper (sometimes called a decoy or helper) is the trained individual who works the dog during the protection phase of the IGP sport. Their role is far more technical than simply “catching” a dog—they are responsible for building confidence, maintaining control, and ensuring fair, safe, and correct work for every dog they handle.
What an IGP Helper Does
- Reads the dog: Evaluates the dog’s drive, confidence, and behavior in real time.
- Presents correct pictures: Offers proper body posture, movement, and sleeve presentation so the dog learns clean, correct targeting.
- Builds the dog’s skills: Helps develop grip, power, clarity, and control through structured exercises.
- Supports the handler: Works as part of the training team to help the dog progress toward trial‑ready performance.
- Ensures safety: Maintains safe, ethical, and fair work for both young dogs and experienced competitors.
The Goal of a Helper
A good helper isn’t trying to “fight” the dog—they’re helping the dog learn to work with confidence, clarity, and control. Their job is to bring out the dog’s best qualities while staying within the rules and structure of the sport.
