- You need to board your dog during your vacation but also want them to be well taken care of in a structured learning environment.
Will My Dog Be A Good Candidate For Boarding and Training?
We do not accept every dog with any issue into our boarding and training programs. This may be due to a variety of factors that will be unique to your dog and your situation. Severe dog to dog aggression, fear related behavior, separation anxiety, and house-training problems are some reasons why your dog may not be a good fit for Board & Train. Some cases are best handled in a private lesson setting.
Not all dogs are suitable for board and train programs. This can be due to a variety of reasons that could be unique to your dog and environment.

We are dedicated to helping you decide if this program is the best choice for your dog as their safety and comfort are our top priority.

Your dog is worked with several times a day with the goal of progressing as quickly as possible while still building behaviors in a consistently clean and motivational way that invites the willingness for future learning.
