Board and Train Program

Our proven hybrid approach to Board and Train provides all the benefits of typical in-kennel professional training, without having to be separated from your dog for long periods of time. Spending the weekends with your dog maintains the handler-dog bond and includes you as part of the training process making sure that your dog will listen and behave for you at the end of your program. This has many benefits over a traditional long-term Board and Train program.

• Faster Results
  Different from Private Lessons that can take several weeks to achieve specific goals, your dog learns directly from a professional and receives multiple sessions of hands-on training each day.
• Less Stress On You
  We will work through the challenging early stages of training and the tedious repetition that you may not have time for.
• Immersive Learning
  The dogs are spending time in a structured environment where every decision is guided and reinforced. Many dogs find this type of environment to be therapeutic. Our approach to behavioral wellness will help your dog achieve balance through instinctual fulfillment and enrichment along side proven training and behavior modification techniques. 
• Enhanced Customization
  The amount of time we spend with your dog in the Board and Train program allows us to get to know them on a much deeper level. This helps us develop specific strategies and exercises directly targeted toward each individual. This is especially valuable in behavioral cases. We focus on the commands that will impact the target behavior problem, spending greater time addressing the underlying causes of the problem behavior.
• Training for You
  Board and Train programs include a “go-home” lesson (approximately one hour) with you at the end of each week and an additional one-hour follow-up lesson to be completed within one year of the end of the program.
