About Badger K9 Training

Board and train, and nothing else

Badger K9 Training, LLC is based in Sun Prairie and is unusually clear about its scope: "Badger K9 Training, LLC is based in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin and specializes exclusively in Board & Train." The home page repeats it as a constraint rather than a boast – "Board & Train only. We recommend the program length after learning about your dog, your goals, and the behavior you want to change."

How the stay works

Dogs board on weekdays and go home at weekends: "Badger K9's current Board & Train model is weekday boarding, Monday through Friday, with dogs returning home on weekends." Every program ends with a handoff – "We show you how to use and maintain what your dog learned at home" – and the site says the transition is planned from the start.

What the training covers

Six areas are named: leash manners ("Less pulling, better engagement, and more enjoyable walks"), recall and reliability, "Everyday obedience – Sit, down, place, heel, come, door manners, impulse control, and household structure," unwanted behaviors, real-world distractions ("Practice beyond the quiet training room so skills can transfer into normal life"), and owner communication.

Programs and published prices

Three lengths are listed, each with a Foundation Member price and a standard price. One week is $1,200 against a standard price of $1,400, "For a focused obedience foundation or tune-up." Two weeks is $1,700 against $2,000 and adds "More real-world practice" and "Greater distraction work." Three weeks is $2,500 against $3,000, "For dogs and goals requiring more time, repetition, and behavior work," with "Advanced reliability work" and behavior-focused work as appropriate. The discount is time-limited by the site's own terms: "Foundation Member pricing is available for the next 10 dogs. Once those spots are filled, standard pricing returns."

How they talk about results

The FAQ answers the guarantee question without overclaiming: "Dogs are individuals and progress varies. We set clear goals, communicate throughout the program, and recommend additional time when appropriate rather than promising a result that cannot responsibly be guaranteed." Intake starts with a free consultation, and the site prefers a phone call to a form: "Call, text, or email. No online form or account required." The service area is given as "Sun Prairie, Madison, Dane County and surrounding Wisconsin communities."

One caveat about the site

A results section on the page still carries its build note – "This section should grow with the business: before-and-after videos, owner testimonials, and documented training progress" – so there are no client accounts published yet to read.
