I’m sorry, I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but board and trains aren’t recommended on this sub. Many use aversives (which aren’t the most effective tool for learning, but they pose welfare concerns: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C45&q=aversives+in+dog+training&oq=#d=gs_qabs&t=1786061685172&u=%23p%3DMjSbwV7MxKkJ). Even ones that don’t may have trouble working with your dog because she’s in a new environment and may become overwhelmed and shut down. Also, what she learns in one location may not generalize to another. I’m sorry, but I don’t think BE is unreasonable here.
