30-Day Board & Train

Our Board & Train program is designed for owners who want real, reliable results.

During the program, your dog lives and trains in our home while learning the structure, obedience, and behavior needed to succeed in everyday life. Training takes place daily in real environments so your dog learns how to behave not just in training sessions, but in the situations that matter most.

Our goal is to create a dog that listens, responds clearly to commands, and can remain calm and controlled around everyday distractions.

What This Program Helps With

This program is ideal for dogs struggling with:

• Pulling on leash

• Ignoring commands

• Jumping on people

• Lack of recall

• Poor impulse control

• Overexcitement or Reactivity around people or dogs

• Difficulty settling in the home

  Training is customized to each dog so we can address the specific challenges your dog is experiencing.

What Your Dog Will Learn

Throughout the program, your dog will develop reliable obedience and better behavior through daily training and structured routines.

Skills taught in the program include:

• Loose leash walking

• Reliable recall (coming when called)

• Sit and down with duration

• Place command

• Door manners

• Calm behavior around distractions

• Improved impulse control

Training is reinforced in multiple environments so your dog learns to perform reliably outside of structured training sessions.

A Home-Based Training Environment

Many board & train programs operate out of kennel facilities where dogs spend much of the day in crates.

Our program is different.

Dogs live and train in a home environment where they experience real-life situations and structured daily routines. This allows them to practice calm behavior, obedience, and good habits throughout the day rather than only during short training sessions.

Owner Training Included

A trained dog is only successful if the owner understands how to maintain the training.

Every Board & Train includes an owner training session where we show you exactly how to continue the structure and communication your dog learned during the program.

Our goal is to ensure both you and your dog leave the program confident and prepared.
