Board and Train Programs 

Let’s be real—you don’t want your dog stuck in a loud, overcrowded kennel with who-knows-who watching over them, (or not watching over them!)

​

With our In-Home Board & Train, your dog stays in your trainer’s home, not a kennel facility, getting round-the-clock care and personalized training in a safe, fun, and structured environment.

​

Each trainer only works with 1-2 dogs at a time, which means your dog gets focused attention (and plenty of play and cuddle time) for faster, lasting results.

 

We'll do the heavy lifting—laying the foundation, building new behaviors, and creating real progress—so you can confidently take it from there.

Overview

Your dog will stay in the safety and comfort in the home of one of our experienced professional trainers. 

 

This is much better for your dog (especially if your dog have behavioral considerations!) than having your dog stay at kennel facility where they are rotated in and out of the cold crate, with strange dogs barking at them constantly, and then being left alone overnight.

Obediance Training

Because our trainers only work with 1-2 dogs at a time, your dog gets more 1-on-1 attention.  They receive multiple "active training" lessons each day, where the trainers works with them on a specific skill. 

​

Throughout the rest of the day, your dog will spend time as they usually would in your home! They are allowed to be a normal dog and rest, play, cuddle, etc!

 

This time is a very important part of the training, as we are able to catch unwanted behaviors as they naturally happen in your home, such as counter surfing, barking out the window, the Amazon man coming to the door, etc!

​

We LOVE to catch these moments and use them as training opportunities!
