What is the ratio of board-and-train dogs per trainer?
There is a maximum of three dogs per trainer. Enrollment is limited to ensure we can provide high-quality, individualized training.
Where will my dog be when not actively training?
Board-and-train dogs enjoy three daily play sessions in the backyard to socialize with fellow dogs. When not being supervised, your dog may rest inside or be kenneled.
Where will my dog rest?
Your dog will rest in a comfortable crate with cozy bedding. Meals and nap times are spent in the crate, allowing your dog to relax and recharge.
What is the minimum age for board-and-train?
The minimum age is 4 months. If your dog is younger than 4 months, we recommend starting with a few in-home sessions to set them up for success until they are old enough for a board-and-train or day training program.
I am unable to attend the required follow-up lessons or reinforce polite behaviors after the program. Is this still a wise investment?
No. Consistent reinforcement is essential to maintaining your dog’s training. Dogs are not programmed to behave perfectly on their own—they learn through ongoing experiences. To ensure lasting success, you must continue reinforcing the training. The results your dog achieves will only remain consistent if you remain consistent in your approach.
Can I purchase additional boarding days?
Yes, additional boarding is available at $75 per day.
What vaccinations are required?
We require the legal minimum: rabies and one distemper/parvo vaccination. Titers showing immunity are also accepted.
