Our training programs include boarding
Our board and train programs provide a unique opportunity for your dog to receive individualized training, socialization and exposure to common environmental conditions in clean, comfortable, safe, and stimulating environments. Our customized programs range from puppies to adults (2 to 6+ weeks) depending on your family’s needs and training goals.
While at our facility, your dog will experience total immersion of structure, socialization, and numerous daily training sessions with plenty of play and rest in-between.
You will receive daily updates and pictures of your cute dog’s daily progress!
You’ll be trained too!
We want to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. You will be taught how best to continue your dog’s great behavior at home! Without your help, your dog will forget the import skills learned.
