Board & Train Programs

For owners who want professional training with immersive learning, our Board & Train programs offer a structured stay-and-learn experience. Your dog will live with our expert trainer and receive daily training tailored to their needs.

Are you heading out of town, struggling to find time for your dog’s training, or just need extra help to advance their skills? Our Board & Train program provides a structured training environment where your dog can learn and grow while staying with us.

What’s Included?

Board & Train options range from 14 days to multiple months, depending on your dog’s needs and training goals. During their stay, your dog will receive:

  • Daily one-on-one training sessions

  • Multiple group training sessions per day

  • Exposure to real-world environments

  • Time spent with our experienced trainers in a structured setting

Your dog will stay in a home-like environment, receiving high-quality care while working on key training foundations. This is not a quick fix but an investment in long-term success, with follow-up lessons and guidance to help you maintain their progress at home.

INQUIRE ABOUT BOARD & TRAIN

“Thank you so much for all the work you’ve done! I was really worried because of the cost and the fear that nothing would come of it; I am not a professional dog trainer like you are, and I thought her new skills could be lost when she came back to me. But I can clearly see the results of your work. I see how relaxed she is now and how much easier life has become for her. That really means a lot. Walking her now is an absolute joy, when before, we would rush through walks, avoid all dogs, argue, get frustrated, and so on.”
