Board & Train: Fun-filled Vacation For Your Dog

Our Board & Train program offers an introduction or refresher course to Doggy Etiquette, Manners, Impulse Control, Socialization, and Educational Games in a home environment. Perhaps you have a vacation planned and need dog boarding. Take advantage of dog training or a “tune up” while you're gone to help improve your dog's behavior. Treat your dog to a fun-filled vacation with enjoyable daily training sessions through games, walks, playtime, and field trips.

We offer 1-week, 2-week, 3-week and 4-week intensive programs where your dog will be treated like family while learning better behaviors and doggy etiquette. Custom date ranges are available. While your dog is learning, you can learn too with quick and easy online video instructions to teach you how to take over training when your dog returns home.

Our Board & Train service combines in-home boarding, doggy daycare socialization, dog recesses, 5 training game sessions per day, and fun-filled social outings.

  • Comprehensive, positive, force-free game based training
  • Custom designed for your dog’s needs

House Manners

All dogs in our Board & Train program stay in luxurious accommodations in a home environment. We provide dog beds, toys, games, and an outdoor area. During their stay they will learn typical house manners and socialization with other humans and dogs.

Public Manners

All dogs enrolled in our Board & Train program will be taken on public outings to nearby parks, towns and dog friendly businesses. These field trips are a great opportunity for your dog to learn to generalize the cues they have been taught in various locations and to help them learn how to behave appropriately in public.

Doggy Daycare

While your dog is enjoying their stay they will also get the opportunity to enjoy Doggy Daycare. Doggy Daycare provides great opportunities for socialization with other dogs, as well as physical exercise and supervised play.

No Kennels Or Runs

All dogs in the Board & Train program enjoy a home environment and are treated like family. We utilize crates during training and encourage all dogs be crate trained for better self control and safety. Dogs may be crated if we leave for a while. We do not use kennels or runs.
