The Northern Border, LLC

Room to work

The Northern Border's standout feature is space: a 127-acre facility in Washingtonville that supports boarding, board-and-train, group classes, and sport activities like dock diving and agility. The site describes its approach as "an amalgamation of compassion, patience, and decades of individual expertise in working and competing with dogs," and emphasizes evaluating each dog's temperament, personality, and behavior before settling on a training plan.

Boarding plus training under one roof

For owners who travel, the combination of boarding and structured training is convenient: the facility is "open 7 days a week, all holidays" with three daily pick-up/drop-off windows. Beyond board-and-train, it runs puppy and obedience group classes and offers building rentals for outside groups or events. No specific trainer is named on the page and no certification acronyms are listed, so the "decades of collective experience" claim is stated in general terms rather than tied to named credentials. The acreage and sport offerings make this a stronger fit for owners interested in active, competition-adjacent work than for someone looking for a quick in-home obedience tune-up.
