Board & Train
Perfect for dogs with complex behavior needs.
Integrative Welfare-Based Model
Every dog is an individual. During their stay, I first work to meet your dog’s daily exercise, enrichment, and social needs.
We work on your goals outlined before their stay, but always adjust the training and welfare plan in real time.
Duration & Pricing
Training takes time. To both allow for your dog to become comfortable in my home and for me to ensure their needs are adequately met, board and train is a minimum 7 day commitment, but 2-4 weeks are recommended for the best understanding of your dog’s behavior & needs.

What’s included:
Transfer Training
We include 1 complementary hour of transfer training per week your dog stays with us.
Training outcomes are never guaranteed. However, a minimum of 4 sessions are required following board & train to ensure continuity and maintenance of behavioral health. These sessions will be included in your estimate.
Write-up & Video
Every training session your dog has will be filmed and uploaded to a private video playlist.
A detailed write-up will be provided to you at the end of your dog’s stay, detailing their needs& best path moving forward.
Gear & Embark Test
Your estimate will include a gear item and an Embark Breed + Health test.
Ill-fitting gear or underlying genetic conditions can affect our dogs’ behavior more than we know. It has been shown that up to 80% of behavioral problems have a medical cause (Mills et al 2020). Due to this, we look at health first and foremost.
If your dog has already had an Embark Breed + Health test, a $200 discount will be applied to your invoice.
Grooming
We always groom and bathe your dog before sending them home, including a bath, blow-out, brush, and nail trim.
