Dog Training Services
Board and Train
Looking to get a jump start on your dog training? Board and train may be a good fit for you!
Please Note: Board and train is only available for current and previous clients.
Professional Dog Training
In a Home Environment
Training a dog can often feel like a full time job, especially if you’re struggling with long-seated or significant problem behaviors.
If you’re struggling to get your dog to learn the skills you want him to have, board and train can be the perfect way to give your training a jump start.
We only offer Board & Train to one client at a time to ensure that your dog gets the attention he needs to learn and thrive.
Whether you are struggling with one behavior or many we can help you! We’ll give your dog a solid foundation and teach you what you need to know to continue to work with him once you bring him home.
Board and Train can help instill basic manners in your new puppy, remind your adolescent of his skills, or to work on complicated behavior problems like dog-dog reactivity.
It’s important to note, however, that while Board and Train can give your dog an excellent jump start on new behaviors or serve as a refresher for prior clients, once your dog returns home you’ll need to help him stay fresh!
Behavior is always influenced by the environment; so you’ll want to make sure you continue to do your homework to keep your dog at the top of his game.
Board & Train is currently only being offered to clients we are already working with. The Board & Train program is in addition to our other training programs when added support is needed. Interested in working together? Contact us for more information.

“I started with Puppy Prep private lessons to learn the basics with a new puppy — I think that was the best thing I could of ever done for myself and Sammie! I highly recommend it to anyone who is going to get a puppy. I also put Sammie into Board & Train for his benefit. Donia has spoiled us — there isn’t anyone out there like her!”
