Boynton Beach Boulevard and Congress Avenue are the city's main arteries, and the area south of Gateway Boulevard along Congress is a large retail district. Dogs on walks near these roads meet loud traffic, so teach a solid wait at every curb and keep sessions short at busy hours. Private lessons are the usual start, at roughly $75 to $150 each.
The Federal Highway side of town runs along the Intracoastal Waterway, and the city's oceanfront park has a boardwalk and beach. Dog rules vary by location, so check posted signs before you go. Choose quiet hours, keep the leash short and reward calm looks at other dogs.
Hurricane Wilma struck in October 2005, and storm season still shakes some dogs. Pair thunder and wind with treats at low volume, give your dog a hideaway and plan indoor games for storm days. If your dog panics when you leave, a coaching plan, estimated at $600 to $1,800, may help more than basic obedience.
