Our 3-week dog training program is designed to provide your dog with a solid foundation in obedience training and behavioral rehabilitation. During their stay, your dog will learn essential skills such as leash manners, impulse control, crate structure, and core commands like sit, down, place, recall, and heel — all reinforced with calmness and clarity in mind.
We emphasize real-world exposure, behavioral conditioning, and consistent structure to reset unwanted habits and instill new, reliable ones. This program is ideal for dogs without behavior issues or for owners seeking long-term results through a disciplined obedience training system.
This intensive program is designed specifically for dogs with mild (4-6) to severe (6-8) behavioral issues, including aggression, reactivity, anxiety, fear-based responses, or impulse control problems that go beyond basic obedience training.
Over 4 to 6 weeks, we focus on addressing root behavioral patterns through structure, accountability, environmental exposure, and conditioned emotional responses. Your dog will learn obedience, calmness under pressure, and how to disengage from triggers — not just perform commands.
This isn’t quick-fix training; it’s behavioral rehabilitation that truly sticks when owners commit to the process. With our comprehensive dog training programs, we ensure lasting results for your furry friend.
This program is designed for owners seeking a highly reliable, well-mannered, and responsive dog both on and off leash. Over six weeks, your dog will engage in advanced obedience training, mastering commands in real-world settings and high-pressure environments. This includes essential behavioral rehabilitation techniques to enhance your dog's responsiveness.
We focus on proofing commands like heel, sit, down, place, recall, and extended stays — incorporating duration, distance, and distraction. Our dog training programs emphasize off-leash reliability, e-collar conditioning, and fostering calm, confident handler engagement.
Ideal for dogs ready to advance beyond the basics and for owners desiring total control, anywhere.
Our 8-week dog training program is designed for ultimate goal-seekers — owners who desire complete transformation and total control. This immersive experience covers everything from on-leash obedience training to advanced off-leash skills, public access conditioning, and behavioral rehabilitation tailored to your dog’s needs and your specific goals.
Whether you're preparing for service work, lifestyle reliability, or elite-level obedience, this program delivers deep, lasting results.
This is the program for those who seek more than just obedience training — they want excellence.
All of our Stay & Train Programs are taught in combination at our facility, in our trainers' homes, and in public settings. Each program is completely customized to the individual dog, focusing on real-world obedience training. Most dogs can visit any dog-friendly place after attending our courses, although results may vary for those enrolled in a behavioral rehabilitation program.
Owner follow-up training after a board and train is essential if you want results that truly last. Here’s the hard truth: just because the dog behaves perfectly for a trainer in a controlled setting doesn’t mean they’ll do the same in your home, at the park, or around your children. Dogs need repetition, context, and clarity from you. If there is no follow-up, the dog will think that training ended once they left the trainer.
The trainer establishes structure, boundaries, and consequences. If you don't maintain that structure, the dog will revert—not out of defiance, but because dogs follow patterns, not people. Training isn’t simply transferred; it’s taught again through your relationship with your dog.
Obedience training is perishable. If you don’t follow through, reinforce commands, or stay consistent with corrections and rewards, your dog will lose fluency. Would you expect a muscle to stay strong if you never worked it again?
For dogs with reactivity, fear, or aggression, board and train serves as just the reset. The real work happens at home—reinforcing calm behavior, interrupting negative spirals, and building new habits over time. Without owner buy-in, old triggers will resurface, and control will slip. Board and train creates the blueprint for success, while follow-up training teaches you how to read it, build on it, and lead confidently.
We train your dog, but it’s your responsibility to maintain that training. Without consistent follow-through, results will erode. Upon completion of any of our Stay & Train programs, you will have a 60- to 120-minute "Go Home" session with your trainer to discuss what your dog(s) have learned and how you can work together effectively with reliable communication. Additionally, you will return for follow-up sessions at 2, 4, and 6 weeks to check on training progress and address any concerns.
Dogs enrolled in these programs live in our trainers' homes and are treated like part of the family. While your dog is with us, you will receive progress reports as well as picture and video updates.
We ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT teach any dogs to use potty pads, as this causes disruption in our trainers' homes with other dogs in training and with our personal dogs. Teaching a dog to urinate or defecate indoors encourages other dogs to do the same.
Due to high demand, a 25% nonrefundable deposit is required to book your reservation.
Your dog will receive a minimum of 3 to 4 hours of daily 1:1 intense obedience training and will enjoy daily walks and outings to reinforce the training and socialization that is being worked on. Your dog will leave behaviorally better than when it first arrived. Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Dogs coming in for Stay & Train must have additional vaccinations for Canine Influenza and Bordetella, in addition to the normally required vaccines.
*Female dogs actively in heat or about to be in heat will not be accepted into any Stay and Train programs.
