Board & Train
An immersive training experience where your dog lives in our home, trains daily, and comes back transformed — with a clear plan for you to keep it going.
Training in a Home, Not a Kennel
Most board and train facilities run out of kennels — concrete runs, chain-link fencing, and a rotating staff. That's not how we do it. Your dog lives in our home as part of the family while they train.
Why does that matter? Because dogs learn in context. Training in a home environment — with real-world sounds, routines, and relationships — means the behavior sticks when they come back to your home. They're not just trained; they're socialized to real life.
Home Environment
Couches, doorbells, kitchen counters — real life, not a concrete run.
Family Integration
Your dog learns to coexist calmly with people and other dogs in a household.
No Kennel Stress
No barking echoes, no shelter anxiety. A calm dog learns faster.
Daily Updates
Photos, videos, and progress notes — you'll see the transformation in real time.
Three Paths, One Goal
Every dog is different. Choose the length that fits your dog's needs — we'll customize the curriculum within each package, or build something completely custom for dogs who don't fit a standard timeline.
1-Week Jumpstart
Foundations & quick wins.
Ideal for puppies or dogs who need a solid start on basic manners — sit, down, stay, loose-leash walking, and polite greetings. Your dog comes home with a strong foundation and you get a clear plan to maintain it.

2-Week Transformation
Deeper training, real results.
For dogs who need more than the basics — proofing commands with distractions, building duration on stays, improving recall reliability, and addressing moderate behavioral challenges like leash reactivity or impulse control.

- Command proofing with distance & distractions
- Reliable recall in varied environments
- Leash reactivity & impulse control work

- Advanced off-leash reliability

Beyond Obedience — Advanced Board & Train
For dogs with a specific job, sport, or deeper challenge ahead of them. These tracks run on custom timelines and are built around your dog's individual needs.
Advanced Behavior Rehabilitation
For dogs who've exhausted other options
This is not basic training — it's deep behavioral work for dogs struggling with severe reactivity, human-directed aggression, resource guarding, extreme fear, or trauma from abuse and neglect. We use evidence-based counter-conditioning and desensitization protocols in a controlled home environment where your dog can feel safe enough to change.
We Work With
- Human & dog-directed aggression
- Severe fear & shutdown cases
- Resource guarding (food, space, people)
- Trauma & abuse rehabilitation
- Multi-dog household conflict
- Bite history assessment & safety planning
- Weekly owner lessons — progress demos & coaching
Sport Dog Board & Train
Foundation to competition ready
Whether you're working toward a title or just want to channel your dog's drive into something productive, our sport dog track builds the foundation for competitive success. We focus on engagement, precision, and clear communication — because a great sport dog starts with a great relationship.
Sport Foundations
- IGP / Schutzhund foundations (OB, tracking, protection)
- AKC obedience & rally prep
- French Ring, PSA, and MondioRing readiness
- High-drive engagement & impulse control
- Scent work & detection introduction
- Competition-focused heeling, retrieves & send-aways
- Weekly owner lessons — handling skills & progress demos
Service Dog Board & Train
Task-trained for real life
A service dog is more than a well-trained dog — it's a dog who performs specific tasks that mitigate a handler's disability. We train task work, public access skills, and the unshakable composure a working service dog needs. Every program is built around the handler's specific needs and the dog's natural strengths.
We Train For
- Mobility & balance assistance
- Psychiatric service work (anxiety, PTSD, panic response)
- Medical alert (seizure, diabetic, cardiac)
- Public access readiness & CGC certification
- Custom task training for your specific needs
- Handler coaching & team bonding sessions
- Weekly owner lessons — task training & handling practice
