Sound Familiar?

YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.
THE DOG STILL ISN'T LISTENING.

You've watched every YouTube video and nothing sticks
You tried group classes — the dog was fine there, not at home
You've been "meaning to get training" for months
The dog pulls so hard on the leash you dread walks
Your dog lunges at other dogs, people, or bikes
You have kids and the dog's behavior is becoming a safety issue
You've tried treats and the dog ignores you when it matters
You're embarrassed to have people over because of the dog

Board & Train is built for exactly this situation.

Your dog trains with a professional every single day — through Teach, Train, and Proof — until the behavior is reliable. No more hoping you practiced enough between weekly sessions. No more inconsistency. Just structured daily work and a dog that actually listens when it matters.

What Is Board & Train?

DAILY TRAINING. REAL STRUCTURE. REAL RESULTS.

Board & Train means your dog stays with us — in our care, in our environment — and works through our Teach. Train. Proof. system every single day. This is not a drop-off daycare. It is a structured, intensive training program built around clear communication, progressive repetition, and real-world proofing.

Your dog gets consistent daily work, real-world exposure, and the kind of repetition that builds reliable obedience. We do not just train the dog — we coach you on how to maintain the results when your dog comes home.

Every dog is evaluated before placement. We assess temperament, behavior, and your goals — then recommend the right program level. No guessing. No upselling.

Who is it for?

Dog owners who want real results and are ready to invest in a structured program. Works for puppies, adult dogs, and dogs with behavior challenges.

How long does it take?

Duration depends on the program level and the dog. We assess each dog individually and give you a realistic timeline at evaluation.

What happens at pickup?

You get a full owner transfer session. We walk you through everything your dog learned and how to maintain it at home.

What We Work On

WHAT YOUR DOG WORKS ON

Every skill is taught, trained through daily repetition, and proofed in real-world environments. Specific goals depend on the program level and the individual dog.

Obedience commands — sit, down, come, heel, place, stay
Leash manners and loose-leash walking
Place command and duration work
Crate structure and calm settling
Impulse control and threshold management
Social neutrality around people and other dogs
Recall foundations — reliable come command
Confidence building and exposure work
Real-world proofing in public environments
Owner transfer lessons — so you can maintain it

A note on results

Results depend on the dog, the program level, and — most importantly — owner follow-through after training. We build the foundation. You maintain it. Dogs that go home to inconsistent structure will regress. We coach you at pickup so you know exactly what to do.

We Assess Your Dog

We evaluate temperament, behavior, obedience level, and your goals. We recommend the right program level — no upselling.

03

Your Dog Checks In

Your dog stays with us. We handle feeding, exercise, and daily structured training. You get updates throughout the program.

Daily Training & Real-World Proofing

Your dog moves through all three phases — Teach, Train, Proof. Commands are introduced clearly, built through daily repetition, then challenged around distractions, distance, duration, and new locations.

Proofing is what separates a dog that performs at home from a dog that performs everywhere.
