BOARD & TRAIN
Our board & train are customized to suit the unique needs of both the dog and its owner.
Our board & train programs aim to provide your dog with an optimal beginning to their training journey. Our professional and dedicated team offers constant monitoring, care, and training, ensuring your dog experiences around-the-clock attention that mirrors their daily life. We avoid kennel services for our residential guests, as we believe this may create an artificial environment that hinders the learning process. Owners receive regular updates on their dog's progress, offering essential peace of mind about their dog's well-being in our capable hands.
Board & train provides a prompt, effective, and ethical resolution to your dog's behavioral challenges. The condensed format accommodates individuals with time constraints. Ideal for dogs dealing with aggression, fearfulness, anxiety, or reactivity, this program requires expertise to achieve lasting and impactful results.

FAQ
If your dog has undergone residential training without success, we understand various factors could be at play. Whether it's insufficient environmental exposure, inadequate proofing, or post-course training, we address these concerns. Our approach involves off-site experiences for dogs, supplemented by an owner education package, including access to our online training guide. This comprehensive support ensures owners feel confident in maintaining control.
The learning outcomes for your dog during their stay depend on the duration and specific issues they are facing. Every dog will be instructed in fundamental leash and house manners, along with confidence and motivation building. If relevant, we also focus on teaching a reliable sit, a dependable place, recall, wait, and stay commands.
No. In all our years of training, no dog has ever forgotten his owners. They may not realize their owners are in the room right away, during midway lessons for example, but once they see/smell them they are always happy to see them.
We provide a choice between a 3-session follow-up program spanning 6 weeks or a condensed handover weekend, accommodating those traveling from a distance. Additionally, we offer discounted refresher stays for dogs that have completed residential programs, providing owners the opportunity to enhance their dogs' training or ensure peace of mind during holiday absences.
We guarantee we’ll do our job, and we guarantee your dog will be trained. But we can’t control you and we can’t make you follow-through once the dog is home. Ninety-nine percent of our clients do an amazing job with their dogs once their dogs are home. They follow-through, they ask questions if they have them, and they see great success.
Every once in a while, we have clients who think their dog is a robot and will obey commands regardless of inconsistency or lack of follow-through on their part. Dogs aren’t robots and they aren’t perfect. We are doing the hard work. All we ask is that you maintain it. And we give you specific, customized, written and verbal instructions to help you do so! Listen to your trainer, and your dog will do great!
