Board & Trains
Board & Trains have very limited availability and book up fast.
If you are interested, fill out the training questionnaire to be added to our waitlist.
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 follow up sessions to help maintain the progress moving forward.
Board & trains are for dogs 8 months and older.

Booking:
Complete the training screening form.
I will follow up by email to communicate if I feel it will be a good fit and schedule a screening call. If I do not feel like it is a good fit, I will make recommendations for other trainers who may be able to better meet your needs.
After the screening call, you can take the time you need to decide if you want to do the board & train.
50% deposit is due at the time of booking.
The remainder is due 48 hours prior to the board & train.
I cannot hold your spot until the deposit is received.

Reschedules:
Board & trains are not easily rescheduled. It may result in deferring until I am accepting the next round of board & trains which could be months.
