Suitability consultation
Board-and-train is limited availability. We assess whether the program is appropriate for your dog before any stay is scheduled.
Who This Is For
Is board-and-train right for your dog?
Behaviors Addressed
What we work on during the stay
- Foundational obedience under distraction
- Leash manners and impulse control
- Mild to moderate reactivity in controlled settings
- Structure, routine, and engagement with a handler
Training Process
How the board-and-train program works
01 02 Immersive stay
Your dog stays with the trainer for a structured period of daily, consistent training in a controlled environment.
03 Progress updates
You receive regular progress updates during the stay so you know what is being worked on and how your dog is responding.
04 Follow-up sessions
After the stay, follow-up sessions transfer the training to you so progress continues at home.
Owner Responsibilities
What we need from you
- Complete the suitability consultation before a stay can be scheduled
- Provide an accurate behavioral and medical history
- Bring required gear, food, and any medication with clear instructions
- Attend the follow-up sessions and continue the homework at home
Safety Considerations
How we keep dogs safe during the stay
- Small intake keeps the environment controlled and supervised
- Dogs showing severe human-directed aggression are generally not suitable for board-and-train
- Health, vaccination, and behavioral requirements must be met before any stay
Realistic Limitations
What board-and-train can and cannot do
- Limited spots — availability is restricted and not guaranteed
- Not suitable for every dog; some cases are better served by private sessions
- Progress requires owner follow-through after the stay, not just the immersive period

FAQs
Board-and-train questions
How many board-and-train spots do you have?
Intake is intentionally small so each dog receives focused attention. Because of this, availability is limited and not guaranteed. Contact us to discuss current openings.
Is board-and-train right for an aggressive dog?
Not always. Dogs showing severe human-directed aggression are generally better served by private sessions first. We determine suitability during the consultation.
What happens after the stay?
Follow-up sessions transfer the training to you so the work continues at home. Board-and-train is not a one-time fix — owner follow-through is required for lasting results.
