Our trainers home closely mimics your home, making the transition and training results seamless. This immersive approach accelerates learning and allows every moment to become a training opportunity. When not actively practicing obedience commands like sit, down, or stay, your dog will be learning valuable lessons in everyday manners. This gives us the opportunity to address not darting out of doors, jumping on counters or guests, or picking up objects. Focusing on manners is key to ensuring lasting success for dogs in our program.

The board and train is 2 weeks long, but each dog progresses at their own pace, and some may benefit from a few extra days to focus on specific behaviors. If your dog needs extra time to master their off leash recall or curb jumping, for example, we’ll let you know. The maximum duration is 3 weeks, and there is no additional charge.

Everyone’s favorite part! Your trainer will keep you informed via video, photo, and text updates. You’ll receive highlights throughout the board and train, being able to watch your dogs progression! 

Cost: $2,800. Additional days are available at request for $100 per day.
Eligibility: Must be a minimum of 5 months old. If you have a younger puppy, look at our puppy board and train. Must have no history of aggression toward humans.
Vaccination Requirements: Up-to-date on your vet’s recommendations for vaccinations.

We provide refreshers as needed, coming to your home or the environment that you’re needing assistance. Your dog is a testament to our training expertise, and we want to keep him sharp!
