Real results. In real life. In a real home.
A high-touch, welfare-first board and train program for any dog who needs more than weekly sessions can offer. Puppies, manners, off leash skills, confidence, and behavior work. Your dog lives in my home, learns in real life, and comes back a different dog.
Board and train works when the fit is right
This program is intentionally selective. Not every dog is a match, and that is a good thing.
Great fit
- Puppies getting a strong foundation early
- Manners and real life skills
- Off leash reliability and real world skills
- Confidence building and structured routines
- Dog reactivity
- Dogs comfortable in a home environment
- Dogs comfortable being home alone and using a crate
Not the best fit
- Separation anxiety cases
- Most human directed aggression cases
- Clients looking for a quick fix or guaranteed outcomes
- Dogs who cannot safely live in a shared home setting
Not sure if this is the right fit? Reach out anyway. I will help point you toward the most supportive path for your dog.
Choose your program length
Minimums exist to protect your dog's welfare and give learning time to stick. A virtual Deep Dive consultation is required before booking. If we move forward, your Deep Dive fee is applied to your program.

What makes this different
Your dog is not put in a kennel routine and drilled. They are integrated into real life with thoughtful training, rest, and support.
In-home and welfare-first
Your dog lives in my home, gets quiet rest, and follows a balanced daily rhythm. Learning happens best when the dog feels safe.
Real-world practice
We practice skills in real environments and on field trips so progress transfers out of the training bubble and into your actual life.
Limited spots per month
I keep board and train spots intentionally limited so every dog gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. This is not a volume business.
Progress built at the dog's pace
This is not a quick fix. It is a structured learning phase. Results come from follow through, realistic expectations, and a dog who feels safe enough to learn.
Three steps to get your dog started
Every board and train begins with The Deep Dive, a virtual behavior consultation. If we move forward, your Deep Dive fee is applied to your program.
Book The Starting Point
Start with a free 20-minute call where we talk through your dog's situation and figure out whether board and train is the right fit.
The Deep Dive
We assess behavior history, welfare, goals, and fit over a 90 to 120 minute virtual consultation. If board and train is right, your Deep Dive fee is applied to your program.
Reserve your spot
Spots are limited each month. We plan ahead, set clear expectations, and get your dog on the calendar.
Spots are limited. Don't wait.
Board and train spots are limited each month and fill quickly. If you have been thinking about it, now is the time to get the conversation started.
Not available for separation anxiety cases.
