Real behavior change. In a real home.
A high-touch, welfare-first board and train program for dogs who need more than weekly sessions can offer. 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
- Manners and real life skills
- Confidence building and structured routines
- Reactivity and big feelings around people or dogs
- Dogs who benefit from consistency and guided practice
- 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.

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 in the Dog Room, and follows a balanced daily rhythm. Learning happens best when the dog feels safe.
Real-world practice
When appropriate, we practice skills in real environments and on field trips so progress transfers out of the training bubble and into your actual life.
One board and train at a time
Your dog gets my full focus. I do not run multiple board and trains simultaneously. One dog, one program, one handler.
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 a virtual behavior consultation. If we move forward, your consultation fee is applied to your program.
Reach out
Tell me what you are seeing and what you want your dog's life to look like. The more detail the better.
Virtual consultation
We assess behavior history, welfare, goals, and fit. If board and train is right, your consult fee is applied to your program.

Spots are limited. Don't wait.
Board and train starts are limited to one per month and spots fill quickly. If you have been thinking about it, now is the time to reach out and get the conversation started.
