4-Week Board & Train: Transform Your Dog’s Behavior

Our 4-week Board & Train program is designed for owners who want comprehensive, immersive training for their dogs. During this program, your dog will live with a professional trainer in a structured home environment, receiving daily training, real-world exposure, and enrichment activities. This program is ideal for dogs with behavioral challenges, obedience needs, or those requiring a solid foundation of structure and manners.

Why Choose Our Board & Train?

Changing a dog’s behavior requires consistency, structure, and real-world practice. Our in-home training modelensures that your dog’s progress seamlessly translates into your daily life.

We work on:
✔️ Leash reactivity & leash manners
✔️ Jumping on people
✔️ Excessive barking
✔️ Separation anxiety
✔️ Resource guarding
✔️ Dog-to-dog aggression
✔️ Human-directed aggression
✔️ Fear-based behaviors
✔️ Basic obedience & impulse control

Unlike traditional kennel-based programs, we train inside the home and in real-world settings to help your dog generalize their skills in everyday situations.

What’s Included?

🐕 Four weeks of immersive training in our home
📷 Regular updates with photos and videos
🎓 Comprehensive go-home lesson to ensure a smooth transition back home
🏡 Two follow-up private lessons to reinforce training and address challenges
💡 Daily structured training, enrichment, and exposure to new environments
🤝 Ongoing support to ensure long-term success

Your Role in the Training Process

This is a Board & Train program, meaning we instill the training, but you are responsible for following through at home. Dogs are not robots—lasting success requires owner involvement.

Attend all follow-up private sessions

Reinforce training daily following our guidance
Be consistent with rules and expectations at home

We will be with you every step of the way to answer questions, troubleshoot challenges, and provide support as you continue your dog’s progress.

Program Requirements

🔹 Crate Training: Dogs must be able to sleep comfortably in a crate with minimal whining, barking, or escape attempts. If your dog is not crate-trained, we recommend our Day Training program instead.
🔹 Health & Safety: All dogs must be up to date on core vaccines, rabies, and Bordetella, as well as current on flea and tick prevention.
🔹 Clean Bill of Health: Dogs should be clean, injury-free, and in good overall health at the time of drop-off.
🔹 Reactivity Welcome: We accept reactive dogs but are not currently taking bite-history or severe aggression cases.
