Every day with a trainer, not one lesson a week
Board and train is the fastest route to a dog you can take anywhere. Your dog lives and works with one of our trainers every day, around real distractions, not just in a quiet room. Off-leash reliability comes from this kind of immersive work rather than from weekly obedience lessons. At pickup you get a one-on-one session that shows you everything your dog learned and how to handle them. All programs and prices are on the plans and pricing page.
What board and train delivers
Off-leash recall
Recall built and practiced every day, around multiple distractions in multiple places.
Real-world distractions
Training happens out in the world, so the obedience holds outside the house.
Core obedience
Sit, place, down, heel and off, with distance, plus come to heel and load up on the two-week program.
House manners
Greeting manners and door manners, worked on daily while your dog is with us.
A handoff session
A one-on-one session at pickup: 1.5 hours for the one-week program, 2 to 3 hours for the two-week program.
Board and train programs and pricing
The one- and two-week programs include the e-collar and a one-on-one handoff session at pickup; the therapy dog program ends with a private go-home lesson. Payment plans are available. Call us today to learn more about payment options.

Board and train questions
Where does my dog stay?
With one of our trainers, for the length of the program. Your dog trains every day, which is what makes the obedience stick.
One week or two?
The 1 Week Board & Train focuses on off-leash recall, place and sit, plus manners. The 2 Week Board & Train covers the full set of commands, adds daily photo updates and a before-and-after video, and ends with a longer handoff session. We will help you choose on a free phone call.
How old does my dog need to be?
At least six months for lessons and for board and train. We do not run a separate puppy program; for a younger puppy, the Online Puppy Training Course on our plans and pricing page is a good place to start.
What happens when my dog comes home?
You get a one-on-one session covering every command your dog now knows and how to handle them: 1.5 hours for the one-week program and 2 to 3 hours for the two-week program. Anything you are unsure about afterwards, call us.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payment plans are available. Call us today to learn more about payment options.
