Our board & train program incorporates our intimate understanding of your animal’s breed along with his or her specific personality and learning style. Our techniques lay the foundation for good behavior and allow you to build upon that foundation while strengthening the bond between you and your pet.
2-Week Training
Our 2-week board & train program is perfect for new puppy parents looking to provide both on-leash and leash free obedience training at the beach, at the mall/stores, on hikes, around other dogs and people.
During the two weeks, we also focus on correcting minor behavioral issues such as leash reactivity, chewing on shoes, nipping, counter surfing, mild social and situational anxiety, confidence building, and more.
Your pup will stay in the comfort of one of our Pro Trainer’s home (no facility). Individualized attention will help your dog thrive and learn. Our trainers take only up to 2-3 Board&Train students max, this way your pup will have at least 6-8 hours of daily training.

Because every dog’s needs are different, we create a custom training program specifically designed for your pup. During our phone consultation, we will discuss the behavioral adjustments you are looking for and put together the perfect training plan for your furry baby.
Please note, if further information is needed or, a more in-depth consultation is necessary, we may request an on-site consultation so we can have some one-on-one time with your pup. We do this in order to ensure the best possible lesson plan and outcome.

Can you teach my dog to follow commands leash free?
It all depends on your dog, however, we do pride ourselves on helping your dog understand the difference between being on the leash and off-leash as well as how to act under both circumstances.
Teaching leash free commands come standard with the 2-week Board & Train. We expose your dog to a variety of different environments and test the obedience commands for optimal results.
Can you help with anxious dogs?
Instilling confidence in anxious dogs is one of our specialties! We generally recommend at least 2 weeks of Board and Training. Depending on the reasoning for their anxiety, some dogs take longer then others to break out of their shell.
Can you help with reactive dogs?
We can create a training program that can lower your dog’s reactivity to different stimulus. For severe human and dog reactivity, we recommend at least 3 weeks Board & Train for the best possible outcome. Aggression can’t be fixed but your dog’s level of reactivity can be lowered to a minimum
Do you provide service dog training?
The service dog test is referred to as the Canine Good Citizens Test. We offer training services to prepare your pup for the test and even provide the test to get your dog certified.
Can you help me with my dog's nipping, jumping and chewing?
Of course! We provide obedience training for all corrective behavior. This includes nipping, biting, jumping, chewing, barking, digging, and all other bad behaviors that may need correcting.
Do you offer puppy training?
We love all puppies, however, we do require that the pup is at least 5 months old before beginning our training and has all of his/her shots.
Can you teach my dog to walk properly on the leash, without pulling?
Teaching your dog on-leash behavior is one of our most asked for services. Because of this, we include it standard with all of our trainees.
