What Is Board & Train?
Board and train is a dog training program where your dog stays overnight at our facility and receives daily training sessions during their stay. Instead of one class per week, your dog gets immersive, consistent practice every day — which is how dogs learn fastest.

Board & Train FAQ
How long should my dog stay for board and train?
It depends on the program. Puppy Class is 6 sessions, Basic Obedience is 8, and Reactivity is 10. We schedule one session per day during your dog's boarding stay, so a Basic Obedience board & train would be an 8+ night stay. We'll help you plan the right duration when you book.
What training methods do you use?
100% positive reinforcement. Our certified trainers use reward-based methods — treats, praise, and play. We never use shock collars, prong collars, or punishment-based techniques.
Will my dog remember the training after they come home?
Yes — and we help make sure of it. When you pick up your dog, we provide a summary of what they learned and tips to reinforce the training at home. Consistency at home is key, and we'll show you exactly what to do.
Can I combine board and train with grooming?
Absolutely. Many pet parents add grooming to their dog's stay so they come home trained and freshly groomed. Just let us know when you book.
What ages and breeds do you accept for board and train?
We work with dogs of all breeds and ages, from puppies (12+ weeks with up-to-date vaccinations) to senior dogs. Our trainers tailor the program to your dog's age, temperament, and learning pace.
How much does board and train cost?
Board and train combines a training program with nightly boarding. Training packages start at $699.00 for Puppy Class (6 sessions) and boarding starts at $64.99/night. For example, a Basic Obedience board & train (8 nights + training) starts around $1,620.
Prefer Classes Instead?
Board and train isn't the only way. We also offer standalone private training programs without boarding.
