Dog Board and Train

Your dog will work with one of our Certified Professional Dog Trainers to achieve your goals. Your dog will also be integrated into the Daily Enrichment program, where the highest standards of care are practiced, including daily work on social manners.

Our programs include one-on-one sessions with you before and after your dog’s stay with us to ensure you have the support you need to have reliable training results. We have one, two and three-week programs where your dog will be trained Monday through Friday, so you can choose the one that works best for you.

Ida was our trainer. She went above and beyond to address all of our concerns we had with our puppy. Her passion, commitment and positive energy makes it a pleasure to be around and Emmy loves her too, which is a huge bonus, because of how cautious she usually is around people. Highly recommend Ida.
