For a short four weeks, your dog lives and trains with a professional — learning real-life skills, practicing them daily, and getting the consistency most guardians simply can’t replicate at home.
What is a Board and Train?
Who we created the program for:
Dogs Who?
Struggle with obedience, routine, or boundaries at home
Have moderate behavior issues (fear, reactivity, anxiety)
Need more structure and consistency than their human can provide right now
Are difficult to manage at home safely or effectively without professional help
Could benefit from immersive training with other dogs in a controlled environment
Owners Who?
Feel burnt out, overwhelmed, or at the end of their rope
Want to hit the reset button and start fresh with their dog
Need more support than an hour-a-week lesson can realistically offer
Are ready to invest in professional help
Are open to learning and maintaining what we teach
Trust the process and will be comfortable leaving their dog for a month with an experienced trainer
Don’t have time to do weekly homework assignments or show up to weekly sessions.
Imagine this
A dog who responds instead of reacts.
Who can walk past triggers with confidence.
Who understands boundaries, routines, and the behaviors you’ve been trying to teach for months.
Some dogs need more reps, more structure, and more support.
Board & Train accelerates learning by giving your dog a stable, distraction-managed environment to practice appropriate behaviors before bringing them home to your real-world routine, then teaches you how to maintain that progress at home.
Think of it as a reset button for your dog’s habits — and a relief valve for yours.

Investing in a 4 Week Board & Train isn’t just paying for “someone else to train your dog.” You’re investing in not spending the next six months battling the same behaviors on repeat. It’s an upfront investment with long-term payoff: a dog who finally understands what the world (and you) are asking of them.
Customized training plan based on your dog’s learning style, rewards preference, and behavior goals
Focused one-on-one sessions every day with an experienced trainer
Structured socialization, exposure to public spaces, and daily routines that reinforce training
Photos, videos, progress notes, and check-ins throughout the month so you’re never left feeling out of touch
A 2-hour turnover session plus 3 follow-up lessons to ensure the training sticks and you’re confident in your handling skills once they come home
Email/messaging access with your trainer

Your Questions, Answered
-
They have a structured schedule of training, playing, napping, and eating, throughout the day, just like they would at home. It’s a healthy balance of obedience work, socialization, and real-world experiences with downtime in between.
-
Yes! You’ll get photos, videos, notes, and check-ins so you’re never in the dark. We want you to see the work in action and feel confident about what's happening.
-
We know it’s tempting, but dogs often get so excited to see you that it makes it harder for them to settle back into training. But trust us; the month goes faster than you think, and the updates help.
-
You’ll have a two-hour handoff session to teach you what your dog learned, and we’ll follow up with three 1:1 sessions to make sure everything’s working the way it’s supposed to at home.
-
Most dogs adjust faster than their owners expect. We ease them in, create routine and structure, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. You'll see that in the updates we send. And honestly, some dogs thrive with a break from their usual environment because it helps them focus and learn without the distractions of home. All that said, if we have any cause for alarm or if a health or safety concern comes up, we’ll make sure to let you know immediately so you can decide how to handle it. Your dog’s wellbeing is our top priority
-
This program isn’t designed for dogs with severe aggression, but don’t worry, we’ve got a custom program for that. We’ll evaluate your dog first and let you know the best fit.
