Board & Train
Immersive Training. Lasting Results.
Your dog lives with us for 2–4 weeks of intensive daily training — building reliable obedience, manners, and confidence in a structured home environment with real-world adventures.
Board & Train is the fastest path to lasting results. While your dog stays with us, they receive focused, daily training in a structured home environment — paired with enrichment and real-world outings that proof the training where it matters.
Every day follows a consistent rhythm — structured training sessions, calm downtime, and guided practice in real-world settings — so good behavior becomes habit, not a trick. By the time your dog comes home, they've completed countless repetitions and real-life proofing, and we hand it all off to you with a clear plan to keep the training sharp.
Our Balanced Training Philosophy
We meet every dog where they are. Our approach combines reward-based motivation with fair, consistent structure. In a Board & Train setting, that structure repeats every single day, which is why the results compound so quickly.
How It Works
From Drop-Off to Reliable
STEP 1
Free Evaluation
We assess your dog's temperament, discuss goals, and confirm the right program length — 2 or 4 weeks.
STEP 2
Move In
Your dog comes to live with us in a structured, home-like environment with daily enrichment and attention.
STEP 3
Daily Training
Structured sessions every day build obedience, manners, and reliability — on and off leash. We work through behavioral issues like reactivity and anxiety while building real confidence and trust. Owners are required to come in at least once a week for a long lesson so we can teach you the program and keep the results consistent at home.
STEP 4
Go Home
Your dog comes home with a go-home lesson, plus 3 follow-up lessons included in the program to help you maintain the training, address any issues, or simply further the training.

Questions
Good to Know
Where does my dog stay?
Your dog lives with us in a structured, home-like environment — not a kennel. Daily enrichment, personalized attention, and plenty of one-on-one time are all part of the stay.
What's the difference between 2 and 4 weeks?
The 2-week program is fully on-leash and builds structure and foundational skills. The 4-week program adds off-leash reliability, stronger recall, and proofing in more distracting environments.
Will my dog listen to me after?
Yes — that's the point. Owners are required to come in at least once a week for a lesson to learn the training. A go-home lesson plus 3 follow-up lessons are included in the program to help you maintain the training, address any issues, or further the training at home.
Is e-collar training included?
E-collar conditioning is available in the 4-week program when appropriate. We always build on clear communication and positive reinforcement first.
What should I send with my dog?
Food, any medications, and a familiar item that smells like home. We provide everything else — structure, enrichment, and plenty of adventure.
Do I get updates during the stay?
Absolutely. You'll get photos, videos, and progress notes throughout so you can see your dog thriving and learning.
