We Do The Hard Part, So You Don't Have to...
During our Board & Train program, your dog will live in the home of one of our experienced trainers for 2, 3, or 4 weeks. They’ll learn new skills in a calm, structured, and loving home environment - not a kennel!!
Your dog will receive multiple training sessions each day, along with plenty of down time to rest, decompress, and just be a dog. It’s real-world practice in a real home, guided by a professional who understands behavior, confidence, and communication.
By the end of the program, your dog will return home with a solid foundation and a new set of skills—and you’ll receive follow-up lessons so you feel confident maintaining their progress.
It’s the perfect jumpstart to a calmer, more connected life together.
A Better Experience For You and Your Dog
No Kennels, No Chaos
No cold crates.
No barking all night.
Your dog will rest, play, and relax like they would at home, but with expert guidance.
More 1 on 1 Training
Our trainers only work with a couple of dogs at a time.
That means tons of focused attention (and plenty of play and cuddle time).
Real Life Practice
We love when the real moments happen, (like barking at the Amazon guy or jumping on the counter).
We catch them and use them as training opportunities!

What Success Looks Like

We saw a total transformation in Jack. He came home calmer, more focused, and actually listens now even around other dogs! The team was professional, kind, and truly invested in helping us succeed. We’re so grateful, and so is Jack!”

Best decision I’ve made. He came back so much more focused and relaxed and I finally feel confident taking him places. The trainers were super communicative and clearly love what they do. I recommend them to everyone I know!

I was nervous to send Henry, but wow. He came back more confident, way less reactive, and actually listens to me now. Now we can go on walks and I don’t have constant anxiety about how he’ll react. Thank you thank you thank you!
