Board and train is the most immersive training you can offer your dog. Your companion will live with us, in our home, for the desired length of time to reach your goals. In that time your dog will learn the structure, boundaries, and expectations of training so you can pick up a dog that is educated and easy to work with. All of our board and trains end with an owner education session, so that you can effectively communicate with your dog and maintain what they have learned. Let us take the stress out of dog training, give both you and your companion a better quality of life.
Board and train is recommended for those who are new to training or have a busy lifestyle, and would like an experienced handler to set their dog up for success. I offer a few different packages to achieve your desired goals, ranging from puppy raising to advanced obedience.

My advanced training package takes obedience to the next level. This 6 week program covers everything from the basic package, then goes a step further to teach advanced commands such as leave it, drop it, place and off leash recall with use of an e collar (e collar included in package). Throughout the advanced training program, we prioritize not just obedience, but also confidence and reliability in real-world scenarios. With the e-collar as a tool for precise communication, your dog will learn to respond promptly and consistently to commands like "leave it" and "drop it," crucial for safety and control. "Place" commands teach your dog to settle calmly wherever instructed, enhancing their manners in various environments. Off-leash recall ensures they'll return reliably even in distracting situations, giving you peace of mind during outings and adventures.
Beyond basic obedience, I focus on refining your dog's behavior through positive reinforcement and structured socialization. Regular excursions in controlled environments help solidify their training, ensuring they're prepared for any situation. Whether enjoying a walk in the park or navigating busy urban settings, your dog will display the confidence and good manners that make them a joy to be around.
Our advanced program includes:
All Basic Obedience Package Commands
