So, what are some of the benefits of our Board and Train program?

helps accelerate the learning process significantly
develops a strict routine to help reinforce new behaviors
allows for consistent one-on-one personalized attention
provides flexibility and convenience for owners with a busy schedule who don't have the time for daily, consistent training
offers more exposure to the world; properly introducing your dog to new environments; building confidence
helps develop proper socialization skills; neutrality around other dogs and people
teaches proper play and drive building
allows the trainer to assess your dog more thoroughly and really get to know their mental and physical status
extremely beneficial for dogs that suffer from fear, severe aggression or anxiety issues as these types of issues requires a skilled hand to achieve successful results

We understand it can be difficult to be away from your pup for a few weeks, but we do not recommend visitation during the board and train process as it can severely interfere with their transition and learning which can prolong the entire training process and add unnecessary stress and confusion for your dog. You will receive text and video updates on a weekly basis to inform and document your dog's progress, and you are more than welcome to contact us and check in at any time.

In the end your dog's overall success is dependent on your understanding on the training and ability to maintain it. Therefore, following the completion of our board and train programs, we will provide you with a 2-4 hour go home session upon pickup (as well as additional free follow-up private sessions), teaching you how to properly handle your newly trained pup so you can continue to maintain all the training at home.

Please note: Dogs with severe people aggression and / or a previous bite history will incur an additional handling fee of $1500 for the obedience board and train packages.

FAQS About Boarding and Training

Will my dog forget who I am after a board & train?

Your dog will absolutely remember you and be so excited to see you after their board & train. Owners who work with us actually find that their relationship with their dog grows even stronger (and their connection deeper) after their dog returns from our program.

Where will my dog be staying?

We operate out of our home and that is where your dog will be the entirety of their program; living with us (not in a kennel run or outdoor facility). Dogs sleep in their own individual crate inside our home, in the same climate-controlled environment we live in.

Will I get any updates during their board and train?

Yes! You will receive regular progress updates with photos, videos and additional information we've gathered for you throughout the training process, so you can stay connected with your pup and follow along with their transformation.

Will my dog be interacting with other dogs?

Your dog will not be playing or running around with other dogs during the program but will be learning healthy socialization. This involves your dog working in close proximity to other dogs and learning how to control their behavior, whether it be over-excitement, reactivity, or aggression. The focus is on making you, as the handler, the most important thing in their life.

Are you able to help with any serious behavioral issues like aggression?

Yes, we specialize in behavior modification and have many years of experience working with severe dog and people aggression, anxiety, resource guarding, any other behavioral challenges.

How do I know my dog will be safe?

Dogs are never left unattended or unsupervised. When not directly interacting with us, they are safely crated and camera-monitored. We use high quality training equipment and do not take any unnecessary risks that could result in any injuries or a dog escaping. Dogs are always contained in a vehicle-safe crate when being transported.
