Structure and consistency that create meaningful, lasting change.

Our Board and Train programs give your dog a strong head start through daily, hands-on training in a calm, structured environment. Your dog works closely with a professional trainer to build a solid foundation before those skills are carefully transitioned back to you.

Training happens every day in real-life situations, so learning carries into daily routines. Along the way, we focus on more than obedience by helping dogs develop understanding and steady confidence when challenges arise.

We work with dogs at many different stages, from puppies learning early structure to dogs navigating more complex behavioral concerns, including reactivity or aggression. Each program is customized to the individual dog, with safety and thoughtful progress guiding the process.

Your dog stays with the trainer full-time and receives one-on-one attention throughout the program. This immersive approach allows us to truly understand your dog and support them through challenges in a consistent, intentional way.

Owner involvement is an important part of the experience. You will receive regular photo and video updates that show real training moments. When the program is complete, training transitions back to you through structured in-home sessions and continued support so progress carries smoothly into everyday life.

6 Week Behavior Modification (Reactivity) Program — $6,900

This program is designed for dogs whose challenges go beyond obedience and require a complete mindset shift. It is built specifically for dogs that struggle with reactivity toward other dogs, people, or environmental triggers, and focuses on changing how your dog feels, thinks, and responds in the world.

Rather than managing reactions, this program helps rebuild emotional responses, improve confidence, and teach your dog to make calm, thoughtful choices in situations that previously felt overwhelming. Training is highly structured, intentional, and paced to support lasting behavioral change.

Includes:

• Advanced obedience with full generalization across environments.

• Commands covered: Heel/Loose Leash Walking, Sit, Down, Go-to-Place, Stay, Come, Wait (at doors), Go-to-Crate, Drop, Leave-It, and Off.

• Cooperative care and grooming preparation, including handling exercises for brushing, nail trims, bathing, and vet visits.

• Emotional regulation and decision-making work to replace reactive patterns with calmer responses.
