Board-and-Train
Our 3-week board-and-train program offers your dog personalized, immersive training in a home environment with 24/7 care and structure. Your dog will learn essential commands like sit, down, stay, come, place, heel, leave it, and drop it- along with behavior modification for challenges such as reactivity, anxiety, jumping, counter surfing, and bolting out doors.
We incorporate real-world socialization with field trips to parks, stores, and other public spaces, and off-leash training is available upon request. Throughout the program, you'll receive regular updates with photos and videos so you can follow your dog’s progress.
Once your dog returns home, we provide multiple follow-up sessions to ensure you feel confident maintaining their new skills. Plus, all board-and-train graduates get free access to our group training classes for continued growth and support.
Health & Safety First
Your dog’s health, safety, and well-being are always our top priority. With over 6 years of experience working in dog kennels and boarding facilities, we bring a deep understanding of proper care and handling to every dog that stays with us.
Each kennel is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between dogs using veterinary-grade disinfectants, and fresh water is available at all times. We have strict vaccination requirements to ensure a healthy environment for every dog in our care.
We also tailor our care based on your dog’s breed-specific needs. From keeping English Bulldog folds clean to prevent yeast buildup, to regularly brushing doodles to keep their coats mat-free- we understand that different dogs have different needs. We also take preventative steps to avoid serious health issues, like ensuring dogs rest before and after meals to help prevent bloat,and limiting outdoor time during the hottest parts of the day to reduce the risk of heat stroke.
Dogs are never left unsupervised outside of their kennels and are closely monitored 24/7 via camera when we’re not physically in the kennel room. The kennel area itself is a converted, temperature-controlled garage directly attached to our home, so we’re always just steps away, day or night.
What Makes us Different?
Our board-and-train program is about more than teaching your dog commands- it’s about creating lasting change and building a stronger bond between you and your dog. While your dog stays with us, they become part of our family, living in a structured, loving home environment. This isn’t a boot-camp style program. Your dog will enjoy a balance of focused training, supervised play, rest, and plenty of affection. We believe dogs learn best when they feel safe, connected, and happy. From romping in the yard to curling up for belly rubs, we make sure your dog leaves not just well-trained, but also confident and content.
We also tailor training not just to your dog, but to you as their owner. Every dog learns differently, and so do people. We take time to understand your lifestyle, your goals, and what’s realistic for your daily life. That way, the training we do sets both you and your dog up for success in the long run. A method that works great for one family may not fit another, and we believe that adapting our approach to match your needs is a step many trainers overlook, but one that makes all the difference.
That said, a board-and-train is not a magic fix, it’s a powerful jumpstart. Your dog will build a solid foundation in obedience and behavior during their stay, but true, lasting results come from what happens after they go home. Training is a lifelong commitment, and dogs thrive on consistency. To get the most out of the program, you’ll need to be ready to reinforce and apply the training in your daily life. That’s where we come in. We don’t just return your dog to you and send you on your way, we partner with you through hands-on coaching and ongoing support to help you maintain and build on your dog’s progress. When it’s time for your dog to go home, we work hands-on with you, so you feel confident and supported. You’ll receive multiple follow-up lessons to continue building your skills, and your dog will have access to our free group classes to keep practicing in real-world environments with our guidance.
We’re here not just to train your dog, but to empower you as their owner, so you both succeed for the long run.
