Programs

The Premium Board & Train is the most immersive option, with the dog staying with a professional trainer for daily structured training. Private lessons are one-on-one sessions in the dog's everyday environment, best for leash manners, jumping, barking and obedience. The Puppy Management Program covers crate training, potty training guidance, early obedience and socialization for puppies under 6 months. Service dog training is also offered. Programs last 3-6 weeks depending on the program and goals, and each ends with a detailed owner transfer. Booking starts with a free evaluation.
