Board & Train

In this comprehensive training program, your dog will stay at our kennel through the week, working closely with our skilled trainers. During their time here, we focus on building reliable obedience both on and off the leash, as well as addressing specific behaviors tailored to your unique training goals. Your dog will learn to confidently follow commands around strangers, other dogs, spilled food, toys, and in urban environments, ensuring they gain control and discipline in all the situations they need most. 

Teaching you, the owner, effective handling skills is just as crucial as training your dog. At the end of each week, you’ll pick up your dog and receive a private lesson with their trainer to learn how to maintain their progress at home. If you’re unable to take your dog home for the weekend, they can stay at the kennel at a discounted boarding rate.
