Board & Train is a great training solution for people having trouble finding the time to work with their dog, want to give them a jump start on good manners, or are dealing with difficult behavioral issues.
Group classes offer a fun, safe environment for you and your dog to learn how to work together as a team in a number of ways and in distracting environments. We have a variety of classes, including puppy-focused courses, basic and intermediate obedience, CGC/Therapy Dog Prep, tricks and more!
Private Lessons are recommended for dog owners who need a trainer to help them work on a specific issues or those who do not have time to take a group class. Private lessons are catered specifically to your dog’s individual needs and can cover a wide spectrum of topics and behavioral concerns.
