Build the Right Foundation from the Start

Our Puppy Board and Train Program is designed to give young dogs the best possible start in life through structured training, socialization, and routine — all in a controlled and professionally guided environment.

Ideal for puppies in their critical learning stages, this immersive program focuses on:

• Foundational obedience (sit, down, recall, leash introduction, etc.)
   
• Crate training and house manners
   
• Socialization with people, environments, and neutral dogs
   
• Confidence-building and exposure to real-world stimuli
   
• Clear communication and marker-based training systems
   
• Establishing structure, routines, and healthy boundaries
   

Puppies benefit from daily, hands-on work with our experienced trainers, including enrichment activities, rest periods, and consistent reinforcement — all tailored to their developmental stage.

We work closely with owners before, during, and after the program to ensure a smooth transition back home, complete with guidance and support on maintaining progress.

If you're looking to give your puppy a strong head start in training and behavior, our Puppy Board and Train is the ideal solution.

Minimum age: Typically 10 weeks old to 6 months
Program length: Varies based on goals (minimum 3 weeks)

Structured Training for Real-Life Results

Our Board and Train Program is a fully immersive training experience designed for dogs who need structure, consistency, and clear communication to overcome behavioral challenges and build lasting obedience.Whether your dog struggles with leash reactivity, impulse control, or simply needs a reset in routine, this program offers professional guidance in a controlled environment that accelerates learning and creates real, reliable change.

Each dog receives personalized, daily hands-on training focusing on:

• On-leash obedience and engagement 

• House and crate manners 

• Impulse control and threshold work 

• Neutrality around people, dogs, and distractions 

• Clear communication systems using markers and leash pressure 

• Structured routines that build calm, confident behavior 

This program is ideal for owners who want results but may not have the time or tools to implement training consistently on their own. We train your dog, then teach you how to maintain and build on that progress at home through detailed handovers and follow-up support.

Program length: Minimum of 3 weeks (length varies depending on goals)

Confidence, Control, and Real-World Application

Our Personal Protection Training program is designed for select dogs and handlers seeking to develop reliable protection skills rooted in obedience, control, and real-world functionality. This is not sport work — our focus is on practical protection for responsible owners who prioritize safety, structure, and stability.

Each dog is carefully evaluated for temperament, drive, and suitability before entering the program. Not all dogs are candidates for protection work, and we prioritize ethical training practices to ensure the safety of both the dog and the public.

Our program includes:

• Foundational obedience and engagement
   
• Drive building and confidence work
   
• Controlled bite development with certified decoys
   
• Handler education and control under pressure
   
• Scenario-based training for real-life application
   

We train for clarity, control, and readiness — not aggression. Protection dogs must be clear-headed, stable, and responsive at all times. Our goal is to develop dogs who are confident protectors when needed, and calm companions when not.
