Why Board and Train is Great for Your Dog

Board and train programs address behavioral challenges faster and more effectively than traditional training methods. When your dog lives in a structured training environment, every interaction reinforces the skills being taught.

Faster Results

Daily training sessions with consistent reinforcement accelerate learning compared to weekly group classes.

Program Fit Matters

We’ll help match you to the right option based on your dog’s needs and goals. Some dogs with anxiety or behavior challenges may not qualify for the 1 Week Freedom package, and behavior concerns rooted in anxiety/aggression can’t necessarily be “fixed” in a short time frame.

Real-World Reliability

Dogs practice commands around distractions, other dogs, and various environments for dependable behavior in everyday life.

Professional dog training through an immersive program gives your dog the focus needed to overcome problem behaviors and develop skills that stick.

Our Board and Train Services

1 Week Freedom Board & Train

The 1 Week Freedom Board & Train focuses on home freedom and recall, including come on command, sit, and extended sit, waiting politely at doors/gates and for meals, and place/extended place. After completion, you receive a one-on-one session to learn how to handle and maintain results at home.

2 Week Board & Train Program

The 2 Week Board & Train focuses on practical, everyday obedience with precision outside under distractions. Your dog is evaluated upon arrival, and the plan is customized; the team may attempt to work through undesirable behaviors (including anxiety, aggression, and reactivity), but these issues can’t necessarily be “fixed” in a short time frame.

Our Top Training Focus Areas

  • Basic Obedience Commands: Sit, down, stay, place, and reliable recall
  • Leash Walking: Loose-leash walking without pulling or reactivity
  • Aggression Training: Safe, structured approach for aggressive dogs
  • Anxiety and Reactivity: Addressing separation anxiety and reactive dogs
  • Off-Leash Reliability: Freedom and control in real-world environments
  • Puppy Training Foundations: Early obedience, potty training, and socialization
  • Behavior Modification: Eliminating barking, jumping, and unwanted habits
  • Distraction Training: Reliable responses around other animals, people, and environments
  • Impulse Control: Teaching focus and patience in exciting situations
  • Family Integration: Commands that work for every family member

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We start with a free consultation to understand your dog’s behavior, your goals, and which option is the best fit. From there, we’ll outline what the program can realistically achieve and what you’ll need to do at home after pickup.

Step 2: Custom Training Plan

Based on our evaluation, we design a structured program addressing your dog’s individual needs. This custom training plan sets clear milestones and focuses training sessions on the behaviors that matter most to your family.

Step 3: Intensive Training

Your dog stays at our facility for intensive daily training. Professional dog trainers work on obedience and behavior modification in a structured environment. Consistent practice throughout the day reinforces skills and builds reliable responses.

Step 4: Owner Transfer Sessions

Before your dog returns home, we teach you how to maintain the training. These transfer sessions ensure you understand the commands, practice the techniques, and feel confident continuing your dog’s success. Our lifetime refresher support means help is always available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does board and train take?

Programs range from one to two weeks, depending on your dog’s needs. The 1 Week Freedom option focuses on home freedom and recall, while the 2 Week option emphasizes practical obedience under distractions; if your dog has anxiety/aggression/reactivity concerns, we’ll discuss fit and realistic expectations first.

What behaviors can board and train address?

Board & Train is primarily designed to build reliable obedience and real-world control under distractions. If your dog has anxiety, aggression, or reactivity concerns, we’ll evaluate them and recommend the safest, best-fit option, since not every dog qualifies for every package.

Do you provide follow-up support?

Yes. Board and train graduates receive lifetime refresher support and owner transfer sessions. We ensure you can maintain your dog’s training at home and provide ongoing guidance whenever questions arise.
