Board N' Train
First Rate Standards. Real World Results.
Our Board & Train programs are designed to create behavior that actually holds up at home, not just during training sessions.
Your dog lives in a structured home environment where training is applied throughout the entire day. This allows for consistent learning, clear communication, and results that carry over into your everyday life.
Dogs are not just trained during scheduled sessions. They are held to a standard in every interaction.
The First Rate Standard
Training is not optional. It is integrated into everything we do.
Dogs in our programs are taught how to:
-
•Respond consistently
-
Settle in the home
-
Navigate real-life situations
-
Follow through on expectations
This is what creates reliable, livable dogs, not just trained ones.
All dogs participating in our Board and Train programs must be on heartworm preventative and must be up to date on vaccinations. A copy of Veterinary records are required before the dog(s) can begin training.

Raising Fido Program
The Development & Progression Program
Designed for puppies, younger dogs, or owners who want to approach training in stages.
This program is split into two phases, allowing dogs to learn, go home, and return for continued development and progression.
First Phase
• Potty training (when applicable)
• Crate training and structure
• Introduction to learning (luring, engagement, clarity)
• Exposure to different environments, sounds, and situations
• Introduction to basic obedience commands
👉 For older dogs, this phase mirrors the foundation work of our Good Dog Program
Second Phase
• Progressive or advanced obedience training
• Increased distraction and distance work
• Dedicated public training
• Continued development and structure
Dogs return home between phases, allowing owners to apply training and identify where additional work is needed before progressing.
Each phase includes a go-home lesson to ensure you understand how to maintain and continue your dog’s training
*Program length varies based on the dog’s age, needs, and goals.*
• First phase: typically 21–30 days
• Second phase: typically 14–30 days
Outcome:
A dog that continues to improve over time, listens, and follows through as training progresses and develops.
