Before & After Success Stories

Meet Ziggy

the Chocolate Labrador

Before:
An 80-lb ball of excitement, Ziggy was into everything. He greeted guests by jumping all over them and his selective hearing made obedience a challenge.

After:
Following our 3-week board-and-train program, Ziggy returned home calm, responsive, and well-mannered. His owners were so happy with the change they eventually added a second Lab to the family.

Every dog is different, but the goal is always the same — clear communication, reliable obedience, and a dog you can confidently live life with.

Is a Board & Train the Right Fit?

Dogs needing consistent, professional training
Owners looking for faster, more reliable results
Dogs struggling with obedience or behavior issues
Busy owners who may not have time for daily training
Dogs that need help learning to focus around distractions

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dog still listen to me when they come home?

Yes. A key part of our program includes private owner transfer lessons, where we teach you how to handle your dog, reinforce the training, and maintain the progress once your dog returns home.

Will I receive updates during my dog’s training?

Yes. During your dog’s stay, you will receive updates on their progress so you can see how the training is developing and what skills your dog is learning.

Can I visit my dog during the board and train?

For your dog’s comfort and progress, we don’t allow visits during the board & train program. Seeing their owner and then separating again can be stressful and may interfere with training, so we maintain a calm and consistent environment to support the best and fastest progress possible.

Will my dog remember me after the board and train?

Yes, your dog (even puppies) will absolutely remember you. Dogs build strong bonds with their owners, and a few weeks of training does not change that. Most dogs are thrilled to see their families when they return home.
