Board & Trains

A board & train program is an immersive dog training experience where the dog stays with the trainer for an agreed upon time to receive consistent, hands on training.

A board & train is not a quick fix. It is an investment. Think of it as time for your dog to develop a solid foundation for you to build off after the board & train is complete.

Each board & train comes with weekly email updates that include anywhere from 2-10 videos, a detailed go-home session and three follow up sessions to help maintain the progress moving forward.

  • Dogs must be:

    • Up to date on vaccines (Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella) and have a clear fecal test (including testing for giardia) within 30 days of board & train. This helps prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

    • Flea & tick prevention April - October.

  • Booking:

    • Complete the training questionnaire form.

    • I will follow up to schedule a screening call to determine if the board & train is a good option.

    • 50% deposit is due within 7 days of your screening call. Failure to pay will result in forfeiture of your reserved spot.

    Cancellations:

    • 14 days or more: full refund

    • 13 days or less: loss of deposit

    Reschedules:

    • Board & trains are not easily rescheduled. It will result in deferring until I am accepting the next round of board & trains.
