Benefits of Board and Train

  • Training is flexible. Since you're boarding the dog, there's no big time commitment on your part which allows it to fit into most people's schedule.
  • With our program, the dog gets lots of training, exercise, and mental stimulation, creating the perfect environment to produce a well-trained dog.
  • Provides clear and consistent rules for the dog which the dog owner (if he is committed to the program) can put in place once the dog is back home.
  • You will receive updates of your dogs day along with pictures.

F.A.Q

How does payment work? 50% of total training cost is required for us to reserve your spot. The remaining payment is due upon drop off or pick up. But must be paid in full before or on pick up date. We accept e transfer, cash, credit card or check.

What does my dogs day look like? Your dogs day will consist of at least 3 play and social sessions or walks with the other dogs or trainer. They will also receive 3 or more 15 to 30 minute training sessions per day. These sessions will be outside, inside or at a public place.

What is an e collar? an electronic collar is the best off leash training device for dogs. During drop off or the initial consultation we will make you feel what the collar feels like. It honestly feels like a tens machine or a Dr HO machine (we have all see the infomercials lol). We prime all of the dogs on the vibrate or pager function so in the end most dogs are 99% responsive to the pager with the stim function only being used as a back up. Its super gentle and effective.


What do I need to bring? You need to bring your dogs regular diet (raw or kibble), any medications or supplements as well as a leash and collar. You can also bring bedding, treats, toys or chews for your dog but its all optional. We have large 5 by 4 indoor kennels as well as crates of all sizes so we can make sure your dog is getting the most out of their stay with us. We also provide bowls and toys for the dogs to play with along with antlers for your dogs chewing pleasure during downtime.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Complete success, Holly loved her stay at your Board and Train Program and I am so pleased that you were able to achieve all of our training objectives for her.   I especially appreciated your kind and dedicated approach to Holly’s training, and I know I will be able to maintain it long-term.  It is great to have a happy and well behaved dog, I only wish I had sent her to your program sooner.   Thank you," ~   MK
