BOARD+TRAIN
Designed for dogs that need more focused attention and rapid progress
Unlike Day Academy, where dogs receive training during the day, our Board+Train integrates your dog into a experienced trainer's daily routine, ensuring 24/7 supervision, structure, and hands-on guidance. This level of consistency leads to faster progress and lasting behavior change.
Why Choose Board+Train?
FOCUSED TRAINING
Your dog becomes part of our trainer’s daily schedule, allowing for continuous guidance and supervision.
ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL CHALLENGES
QUICKER RESULTS
Whether it’s reactivity, obedience, socialization, or impulse control, we work on the areas that matter most.
The intensive nature of the program accelerates progress, giving you faster, more lasting results.
REAL-WORLD TRAINING
Dogs are trained in real-life environments, ensuring they are prepared to behave in various settings.
Our programs
-
This program establishes a solid foundation in obedience, manners, and impulse control. Dogs learn essential commands like sit, down, place, recall, along with loose leash manners and waiting at thresholds. Minor behavioral issues such as jumping, nipping, counter surfing, and leash pulling are addressed. Optional off-leash and e-collar training are available.
Not suited for dogs with severe fear, anxiety, or aggression.
-
This program is ideal for dogs with challenging behaviors or owners seeking advanced obedience. It focuses on real-world proofing, building confidence around people and dogs, and addressing mild fear, anxiety, resource guarding, or reactivity.
-
This intensive program is designed for dogs with severe behavioral issues, including aggression (bite history), extreme fear, resource guarding, and reactivity. Through structured guidance and behavior modification, we help rebuild trust, confidence, and stability.
-
For dogs who have graduated from one of our training programs and need further refinement or advanced skills. Whether reinforcing obedience, improving reliability in real-world settings, or addressing new challenges, we offer weekly Board+Train programs to ensure ongoing progress and success.
Meet & Greet
We require all dogs and owners to complete a 45-minute interview prior to our Board+Train services. This is an essential process to assess your dog's behavior, temperament, suitability, and safety for our program.
