Board & Train Program

The most effective way to train your dog

Programs tailored to your individual goals, covering the widest range of education and behaviour modification for any breed and any issue.

What is the Board and Train Program?

During our 2-6 week Board & Train programs your dog will receive round-the-clock training and care by our professional trainers and experienced staff — allowing us to tackle everything from basic obedience and socialization to advanced off-leash obedience and behaviour modification.

Our large indoor training facility and outdoor acreage provides an environment conducive to your dog's learning. They receive one-on-one education daily, as well as structured socialization with other dogs, humans, and exposure to new environments during their stay.

The length of program depends on the issues at hand and your goals. Whether you're starting on the right foot with a new dog, or dealing with severe behaviour issues like reactivity and aggression — we are here to help you live the life you've dreamed of with your dog.

We focus on far more than obedience

We emphasize the dog-owner relationship, socialization and exposure to different environments and stimulus, proper socialization with other dogs and animals, and calm, comfortable living inside your home — while ensuring your dog's obedience in any environment.

Behaviours we can assist with

Jumping
Barking
Aggression (human and/or dog)
Leash manners
Basic obedience
Counter surfing
Crate training
Anxiety
Reactivity
Off-leash reliability

*Longer programs are recommended for more severe behaviour issues; we will advise on the length that best fits your situation and budget.
