The Board and Train Program establishes a foundation with the dog, implementing new skills and habits to be continued and maintained at home.
While in training, dogs stay in the Trainer’s home, and training takes place in the home, in public parks, at dog events, and other public locations as is appropriate to the individual dog.
Program Details – Board and Train
Programs consist of a 14-21 day stay and include 5 Private Lessons, as well as access to unlimited lifetime group classes upon completion of the Program.
Board and Train includes Private Lessons, because training the dog is just as much training the owner!
While each program is individualized to the client and their dog, B&T follows the general structure listed below:
Introduction

Finally, the Graduation to group classes!
If you are considering this program and whether or not it might be the best fit for you and your dog, schedule a consultation to discuss the best options to help you reach your goals.
