Board and Train program

Sending your dog away for training can be scary, it requires trust, and I don't take that lightly. My Board and Train programs are designed to give your dog the intensive help they need without ever compromising on compassion.

I use strictly force-free, positive reinforcement methods. Whether we are working on basic obedience or untangling complex behavioral issues, your dog will learn through clear communication and rewarding experiences—never fear or intimidation.

The Setup: Exclusive & Stress-Free

I only take one dog at a time. Your dog gets my absolute full focus. They will enjoy all the comforts of our specialized boarding setup, including:

  • Climate-Controlled Space: Fully air-conditioned and quiet.

  • Indoor/Outdoor Access: Seamless access to our secure, fully fenced-in yard.

  • 24/7 Camera Monitoring: So I can always keep an eye on them while they rest.

  • Triple the Fun: While standard boarding gets one playtime, board and train guests get three dedicated playtimes a day to decompress, run, and just be a dog.

The Training Experience

Every day of their stay includes four focused training sessions. We don't just stay in the yard, either. I will take your dog on field trips to new locations to help them generalize their skills in the real world. If socialization is one of your goals, we can safely arrange structured meet-and-greets with other dogs or animals, working entirely at your dog's pace.

Program Options

I offer two timelines depending on what you and your dog need:

  • One-Week Jump Start ($1,600): Perfect for kick-starting the training process. We will introduce the specific behaviors you want to see and get the momentum going so you can easily take the reins when they get home.

  • Two-Week Foundation ($3,000): The best option for lasting change. Two weeks gives us the critical time needed to not only introduce new behaviors but heavily reinforce them, creating a rock-solid foundation for you to work off of long-term.

Need More Time? Sometimes, dogs need a little extra time to truly decompress and learn, especially if we are working through deeper behavioral struggles. If you are interested in a month-long board and train, let's talk. We can have an in-depth conversation about your dog's specific needs and put together a custom timeline and pricing that makes sense for you both.

Free Transfer Session Included! At the end of every program, we will sit down for a completely free transfer session. I want to make sure you know exactly how to maintain their new skills and feel 100% confident taking the reins.
