Immersive 4-Week Board and Train Program
Our immersive 4-week board-and-train program is designed to give your dog the structure, guidance, and real-world experience they need to thrive. During their stay, your dog is taught to understand both verbal cues, such as English or German commands, and non-verbal hand signals for clear, effective communication.
Your dog will not only learn the essential obedience skills needed for everyday life, but also important manners, such as not jumping on people. We also focus on building social confidence by helping your dog learn how to interact appropriately with other dogs and people outside the family unit, making them more comfortable in new environments.
We address a wide range of behavior concerns, including reactivity toward other dogs and people, and help dogs become calmer and more confident outside the home. As part of the program, we also take dogs into local businesses and public spaces so they can learn not only that these environments are safe, but also how to behave appropriately in social settings.
The board-and-train experience gives us the opportunity to truly get to know your dog — what motivates them, what challenges them, and why certain behaviors may be occurring. This allows us to create a personalized training program tailored to your dog’s individual needs. Because every dog is unique, we take an approach that respects their personality, learning style, and emotional needs.
This program is especially helpful for reactive dogs, teaching them how to feel more socially comfortable, safe, and well-mannered outside the home. We also provide you with the tools and knowledge needed to continue reinforcing their progress and shaping them into the well-rounded companions you want them to be.
To support long-term success, the program includes online owner education so you can follow your dog’s progress and learn how to continue training at home. The online portion covers how dogs think, our training recommendations, and why we use certain tools and methods. It also includes real training videos that demonstrate how to troubleshoot common issues, rather than only showing finished dogs who already know the skills.
To help you and your dog succeed after the program, we also include three free follow-up lessons if needed.
Private One-on-One Training Lessons
If a board and train program isn’t the right fit for you, we also offer private one-on-one training lessons designed to help you train your dog at home.
During each one-hour session, we’ll teach you the obedience skills your dog needs and show you exactly how to practice them effectively. We’ll also take time to discuss any behavior challenges your dog may be facing and provide guidance on how to work through them.
These lessons are a great option for owners who want a hands-on approach and prefer to be directly involved in their dog’s training process. To achieve the best results, daily practice at home is essential.
Online learning
In today’s fast-paced world, we offer convenient online training that gives you access to our proven program and expert guidance from anywhere.

Our online course is with me, Paula Cooke, as we go through each task we teach the dogs in our Board and Train Program for basic obedience and break it down with you so you understand. No fancy lingo or terms, just plain explanations and demonstrations you can follow easily.
