Board & Train

This program is where your dog will come live with us in our home for a 3-4 week period.

Our goal is to unlock your dog’s potential and help you have that off leash companion you have always dreamed of. We accomplish this through teaching your formal obedience commands (down, sit, come, place, wait, heel, ext…) When we train dogs we focus on the fundamentals of these behaviors meaning we are teaching focus, impulse control, and clear communication. By doing this we unlock your dog’s potential and help set you both up for success for a lifetime of adventures.

The next step to having an amazing dog is always YOU! After the board and train program we want to give you the help and resources you need to ensure the work that we have done doesn’t go away after they come home. We will schedule a drop off appointment in your home after the completion of this program to teach you how to continue and maintain what your dog has learned, we also have two follow up appointments to be used at your convenience.

If you would rather leave your dog’s education in the hands of the experts, prefer the fast tracked approach, or don’t have the time due to your busy schedule, this program might be for you!

Any dog at any age is welcome regardless of breed.

If your dog is 5 months or older, your dog will go into our 3-4 week board and train program.

If your dog is younger than 5 months your dog will go into our 2 week board and train program followed by our 4 week in home private puppy training program.

A puppy board and train is great but we know that most of our clients are not looking for the end result of puppy training programs. For this reason we strongly encourage you to consider investing into the advanced obedience programs we offer following puppy training.

Contact us and we will walk you through these options and see what’s best for you and your puppy.

We are not the cheapest option around, so if that’s what you’re after we are probably not the right fit for you.   

However if you are looking for a premium experience and choose to trust us with your pets, customer satisfaction is our number one priority. We pride ourselves in providing you and your dog with the highest quality programs designed to set you up for life with your four legged companions! 

Our advanced obedience 3-4 week board and train is $3400. ($200 nonrefundable deposit is required to reserve your spot ahead of time)

The 2 week Puppy boarding is $1200 ($200 nonrefundable deposit is required to reserve your spot ahead of time). This program also include 4 weeks of private in-home training (subject to a travel fee on booking)

We understand this process can be difficult. Being separated from your dog for 3 weeks seems like a long time. For this reason we send pictures and videos weekly to provide you with updates on how your dog is doing during their stay.

Let me make it clear, your dog WILL remember you. I have been training dogs for years and this is one of my favorite parts of my job seeing dogs reunited with their loved ones.

We do allow people to come visit but prefer not to if it can be helped. Dog are incredibly adaptive, some dogs will struggle with adjusting to new rules, a new environment, and new people. Usually after a few days they get into the routine and are back to their normal selves. Having you come and visit sometimes can cause us to take a step backwards in training due to this sudden change and can cause some confusion during the process. If you just can’t help yourself and need to visit your dog we encourage you to keep these meetings brief so that we can get back to training.

We do not offer payment plans for our board and train programs. Due to the nature of this service we require the full amount to be paid by drop off (when you bring the dog to us)

We require a $200 non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot. This goes towards the overall cost of this program.

Availability is limited on our board and train programs.

We do this to ensure that you as our clients get the best service we can provide for you dogs.

We are a home based training environment, based on our experience we believe that dogs do not do well in “kennel” based training environments. For that reason we invite dogs to live with us. They are around our kids, and dogs, and chickens, and become part of our lives while they are with us. For this reason we feel that to provide your dog with the best experience we limit ourselves to 3 dogs.

Please give us a call and we can go over the schedule and our availability with you.

Once the $200 deposit is place you will have secured your spot in our upcoming board and train

We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee for our board and train service. If for some reason you are not satisfied with our work we will continue to work with you and your dog at no extra cost.

You also gain access to our exclusive boarding service. We only board dogs that we have worked with in the past (service is not offered to the general public). We use this time while you’re away on vacation as a refresher to work on little things that might need a tune up.

Dog training is a process and a learning experience for everyone involved. We want to give you all the tools, techniques, and tricks up our sleeves to make owning a dog be an amazing experience.

Part of our process is to ensure each dog gets a “home” based training experience. It is our goal to make these dogs feel like family. Your dog will spend a significant amount of time doing one on one sessions, training in a group of dogs as well as play time. They will also be involved in the day to day comings and goings of a household filled with kids and all kinds of distractions. They will have outings that include going to parks and local department stores to add depth to the training experience. Your dog will sleep inside in a kennel in our home. They will spend time in kennels while we are away at appointments and during the night. They will need this extra rest as they will be very busy the rest of the day during training.

We believe there is a balance in training where positive (treats, food, play, praise) and structured consequences both have their place. Dogs, just like children, thrive off of structure. Our approach ensures that dogs have the tools to navigate the stress that life can present for them. When using training equipment we always consider two very important things. 1^st developmental maturity and 2^nd Temperament of your pup. Similarly with children I would not provide a consequence for a toddler that I might implement with a teenager. As dogs age their capacity to learn and handle the use of training equipment such as (slip leash, long line, e-collars, and pinch collars) becomes more effective. Our number one priority is to use every possible training tool/technique to ensure you and your dog’s development into a happy, healthy, well mannered, AMAZING pet that is part of your lives!

Training tools (e-collars mostly) are often a misused and misunderstood tool. If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the use of these tools we would love to schedule a consultation and show/explain to you why and how we use them to unlock your dog’s potential.

Any tool can be a bad tool if it’s used in the wrong way. These tools can be used to teach your dog’s amazing things but they are not often tools that are used forever.

Feel free to call with questions.
