Board and train
Want a head start on training without doing all of the day-to-day work yourself? With board and train, your dog stays with me for immersive training in a structured, in-home, family setting — not a kennel or facility, but a real household environment where training happens naturally throughout the day.
This approach works well for owners who want faster progress, or who simply don’t have the time or consistency needed to train solo right now. Your dog gets focused, hands-on training away from the usual distractions at home, while still living in a comfortable, family-oriented setting.
Once training wraps up, we’ll do a hand-off session together — walking through exactly what your dog has learned and how to maintain it, so the progress doesn’t stop once your dog comes home.
COST: Depends on age of the dog and length of the stay - contact for more pricing info
