Our Board & Train program is the most immersive training option we offer, designed for families who want to see faster, more consistent progress while ensuring their dog receives professional, structured care around the clock.

This program is ideal for busy families who may not have the time to train daily but want expert support to jump-start their dog’s training journey. It creates a strong foundation for long-term success and sets your dog, and your family, up for a smoother, happier life together.

  • Before your dog’s stay, we work with you to identify your goals whether it’s leash walking, recall, polite greetings, crate training, calmness, or addressing specific problem behaviours such as barking, jumping, or leash reactivity. Every plan is unique to your dog.

  • While staying with us, your dog participates in multiple structured training sessions each day with a professional trainer. These sessions are short, engaging, and always tailored to your dog’s learning style and needs.

  • Training is paired with scheduled rest times, enrichment activities (such as puzzle feeders, scent work, and play), and calm structured routines. This ensures learning is not only effective but sustainable long-term.

  • Training doesn’t just happen in a quiet room. Dogs are exposed to real-life environments and distractions, from walking calmly in neighbourhoods to practicing manners around people, other dogs, and new experiences.

  • Families receive three detailed progress updates per week, including photos and videos of training sessions. At the end of the program, you’ll receive a comprehensive written report with step-by-step recommendations, practical tips, and next steps to continue success at home.

  • At pick-up, we provide a dedicated transfer session to walk you through everything your dog has learned. This ensures you feel confident in continuing the training at home and reinforces consistency between our team and your family.

BOOK YOUR BOARD & TRAIN ASSESSMENT

“I highly recommend Woofability! My dog did a 2 week board and train and not only did he have a great time, he came back so well trained! He’s a high energy young vizsla so he’s really full of beans, but they were able to get him to focus and he came back so well behaved, it was amazing. They took great care of him and were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We will go back!”
