Board and Train Programs in Los Angeles
Dreaming of a well-trained dog? Board and Train is our most popular Dog Training service!
Board and Train is our specialty! We can produce a better-trained dog in a much shorter period of time compared to private lessons alone.
Each program includes private lesson time to be used when your dog returns home, so you can learn how to maintain your dog's training.
Our Board and Train programs take place in a home environment, which means more one-on-one attention and less stress for your dog! We only accept a maximum of FIVE board and train dogs at any time.
We enjoy making learning FUN! Dogs receive structured daily training sessions that provide both mental stimulation and physical activity. Toy-driven dogs may also be introduced to cooperative toy play skills (i.e. tug, switch, retrieve).
Struggling to maintain your dog's focus around distractions? Our programs frequently include training field trips to other environments (i.e. public parks, shopping centers, pet-friendly stores, private training fields) that allow us to begin proofing obedience behaviors around various distractions (i.e. other dogs and people).
If you'd like to sign up for a Board and Train program, it is recommended that you inquire about scheduling ASAP as these limited spots fill quickly!
To get started, please complete a Client History Form and schedule a Consultation! The consultation fee will be credited back to Clients who enroll their dog in at least four weeks of Board and Train (must enroll within two weeks of the consultation).
