Breaking Down Our Board and Train Program

What Is Board and Train—Really?

Short on time or patience? Our board and train program invites your dog to stay with us for an immersive training experience. In just a few weeks, your pup goes from unruly to reliable under intensive, expert care.

Structured Learning, All Day Long

Your dog will train multiple times daily, focusing on obedience, impulse control, leash manners, and off‑leash reliability. They’ll also learn social skills, confidence building, and environmental comfort in controlled settings.

Transitioning Training to Your Home

Once training wraps up, we'll coach you through how to maintain and reinforce every skill at home. You’ll watch a full demo and get written guides—so you’re never left guessing how to keep up the good habits.

What Sets Our Training Apart?

Military‑Proven Techniques

Our methods are rooted in real-world K9 training used by military and law enforcement. That means structure, consistency, and behavior under distraction—not just cute tricks in a quiet room.
