Board + Train
Board-and-train programs are an excellent option for families and individuals with busy lifestyles who don’t have the time to commit to training. They are ideal for dogs with more specific behavioral issues—separation anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, etc.—that will benefit from an immersive program. Unwanted behaviors don’t happen overnight; changing those behaviors takes time and patience.
While here, your dog will be immersed in a structured daily routine of training, exercise, socialization, enrichment, and mental stimulation, with a focus on fostering a calm state of mind.
Each Board+Train includes a mid-stay lesson and a comprehensive go-home lesson, where I’ll transfer everything I’ve taught your dog to you. This is about making sure you know how to properly reinforce at home, so that you are both set up for success.
There are three types of programs depending on your dog’s needs. Check out the descriptions below and fill out the appropriate training form to get started.

The first few days are about settling in and decompressing while I establish a structured routine. We start with relationship-building and engagement exercises before diving into training. I will also address any minor behavioral issues, such as jumping, nipping, and counter-surfing. In addition to crate training, general manners, and learning proper play, your dog will learn 5 basic commands.

In addition to everything included in the Basic B+T package, this package prepares your dog for an off-leash life. Obedience is taken to the next level by challenging your dog to the 3D’s of dog training: Distance, Duration, and Distractions. Your dog will build a solid recall during this phase.
