Why a Board and Train can be the best option for you
It’s hard,
Sometimes it’s really, really hard for some folks to change their dog’s behavior on their own. Especially within the same environment where the dog gets to practice the behaviors repeatedly.
Barking out the window or through a fence, charging at guests coming through the door, jumping, counter surfing, pulling on leash, etc. Most of these issues happen at home or near the home. .
For some dogs, their homes are like a gymnasium for bad habits. Behaviors get rehearsed there and become stronger through repetition. This is why it can be a great idea to remove the dog from all of that and start it off on a new slate. A good board and train program can help with that.
Not to mention that life can be crazy busy. So now you’re supposed to commit hours of each week to train your dog? That sounds overwhelming.
Know what can make it even harder?
The relationship.
Yup, that’s right..
The relationship you’ve allowed to form between you and your dog may be your undoing.
You may have an entitled dog who feels the need to give into her every whim and impulse. Or the demanding and insistent type. Or the out-of-control type.
Or maybe you’ve created a little Napoleon who wants control over everything and be the boss.. Today the couch, tomorrow the house.
Many dogs act as if they’re in charge and ignore their humans like they’re not their meal ticket.
You know what that means, right?
No accountability and no consequences for the dog equals no respect for you. Not the right basis for a healthy human/dog relationship.
So, needless to say, separating the dog from its owner(s) and its home environment can be a great advantage for the dog’s learning and the owner’s peace of mind.
Here’s the good news…
We address both ends of the leash
That means we work to help you improve just as much as we do your dog…sometimes more you than the dog.
Once your dog’s board and train is done, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get ready for the real work.
We’ll instruct and guide you in how to become the right kind of leader, how to establish structure and maintain it, how to better manage your dog and avoid problems.
We’re looking to show you that your dog can succeed and to help you achieve certain goals and standards so that you can be successful as well
Here’s a solid truth…
Your dog will only be as good as you and the skills you develop, so your time working with us one-on-one is vital to your dog’s overall success.
Want to know the secret as to why our board and train program is so successful?
Because we will work with you afterwards until you get to a point that you can do all of the work on your own. That means some hand holding, if needed. But it also means an end to the problems and challenges you’ve been experiencing with your dog and a higher level of confidence for you.
Most other board and train programs finish with your dog, meet with you once or twice (if you’re lucky), and then kick you to the curb. Not us.
We’re in this together. That’s why we only take on a select number of dogs and give you a lifetime support guarantee. Yeah, read that again.
No dog training factory here and no kicking you to the curb once we’ve trained your dog. We know that addressing both ends of the leash is crucial to the process and that the human part can often be the most important.

Our board and train program is “first come, first served” and we only take a select few dogs each month. Due to this we tend to book out a few months in advance. So don’t drag your feet on this.
The biggest predictor of success after a board and train is the owner who recognized a problem and took immediate action. .
Our board and train programs are divided into two categories.
The first is for dogs who have no serious behavior issues and the second is for those who display more challenging behavior issues.
