Training Process
How the board-and-train program works
01
Suitability consultation
Board-and-train is limited availability. We assess whether the program is appropriate for your dog before any stay is scheduled.
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
Pricing Guidance
Pricing and availability
Board-and-train is a limited-availability program. We do not publish a fixed package price because each stay is scoped to the individual dog and the length of the program. Contact for pricing and availability. Spots are not guaranteed and are scheduled only after the suitability consultation.
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.
How much does board-and-train cost?
We do not publish a fixed package price. Pricing depends on the length of stay and your dog's needs. Contact us for pricing and availability.
