The fastest route to a well-mannered dog
In a sleep-over board and train your dog lives with one of our professional trainers, in their home, for that home-like feel. Your dog trains every day instead of once a week, and you get daily updates with pictures or videos. At the end, a hand-over session shows you everything your dog learned and how to keep it going. Prefer to do the training yourself? Our private obedience lessons cover the core commands at your pace.

Board and train programs
Board and train is for dogs six months and older. Dogs need to be crate trained, and the one- and two-week programs are not for dogs with major behavior problems, high reactivity or aggression (see our reactive dog lessons instead). Payment plans are available, and every program is on our plans and pricing page.

Custom Board & Train
Five nights built around what your dog needs: a refresher, advanced commands, or one specific skill.

Board and train questions
Where does my dog stay?
With one of our trainers, in their home, not in a boarding kennel. That is deliberate: house manners are easiest to build where a dog is actually living.
How long is board and train?
One week or two weeks for the sleep-over programs, seven days for the day program, or five nights for a custom program. The two-week program is the one that adds off-leash work and lifetime refreshers.
How old does my dog need to be?
Six months or older. Younger puppies can do the Happy Puppy Board & Train, a five-night introduction for puppies 10 to 22 weeks old.
Will my dog be off leash at the end?
The two-week program works on commands on and off leash. Off-leash work is always at the trainer's discretion: if a dog is anxious, a flight risk, or shows aggression, being off leash is not in its best interest, and the trainer will tell you.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payment plans are available. Call us today to learn more about payment options.
