My Board & Train is like a doggy boot camp. Your dog will have a fully immersive training experience where he lives in a structured, professional environment and receives daily, intentional training. I develop calm, reliable obedience and refined behavior that translates seamlessly into real-world situations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Board & Train programs, from daily life and requirements to long-term support.
Program Overview
Start with the questions most people ask first.
Your involvement and commitment is an essential part of the transformation. The program includes private, one-on-one sessions where you’ll be guided on how to handle, communicate with, and maintain your dog’s training with clarity and confidence.
Outside of the owner-training-session, visits are generally discouraged. Consistency is the foundation of everything we build, and interruptions, even well-intentioned ones, can disrupt that. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout so you stay connected to your dog's progress. That said, if a visit is important to you, we'll work with you. We just want you to have the full picture before deciding.
Yes. We provide advanced obedience training for service dogs, creating a stable and reliable foundation in all environments. Please note that specialized task training is not included.
Daily Life & Care
Training is built into everyday living.
Your dog will live in my home as part of a structured, thoughtfully managed environment. This allows for a balance of focused training, attentive care, and real-life exposure.
Beyond daily training sessions, your dog will learn to settle calmly within a home setting—developing the composure and stability expected of a well-trained companion. Every moment is intentional, ensuring your dog not only performs, but lives with ease and clarity in everyday life.
Yes. Your dog will be provided with high-quality kibble during their stay. If your dog has specific dietary requirements, we ask that you provide their food in sufficient quantity for the duration of the program.
Absolutely. We are happy to administer any required medications. Please provide detailed instructions and ensure an adequate supply for the duration of your dog’s stay.
Your dog’s safety is our highest priority. In the event medical care is required, we work closely with a trusted local veterinarian. You will be informed immediately, and all decisions will be made in consultation with you.
Requirements & Logistics
A few practical details keep everything smooth and safe.
We welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether young or mature, each dog benefits from a structured, tailored approach designed to bring out their highest level of obedience and composure.
Yes. For the safety and wellbeing of all dogs in our care, proof of up-to-date vaccinations is required.
Your investment includes everything your dog needs throughout the program. Your dog comes home with all tools. Upon completion, we recommend a place board to support clarity and structure at home. It is an invaluable tool for maintaining long-term results.
I recommend applying flea and tick prevention prior to your dog’s arrival and please provide any of it, if it’s due during their stay.
Long-Term Results
The goal is a dog that lives well with you for years to come.
Will the training last forever?
Training is a standard of living.
True training is not a one-time event—it’s a standard of living. We provide you with the knowledge, structure, and ongoing support to maintain your dog’s results long-term. With consistency, the transformation is lasting, and support is always available throughout your dog’s lifetime.
