The Dream Dog Program...

Foundational Obedience, Manners & Reliability Board & Train

4–5 Weeks | $3,500

The Dream Dog Program is our most popular Board & Train option and is designed to create what we consider a true dream dog — not a perfect dog, and not a robot, but a dog with a solid foundation, clear boundaries, and the mindset needed for long-term success.

A dream dog understands structure, thrives within routine, and responds reliably because expectations are clear, consistent, and fair. Through this program, we focus on laying the groundwork that allows a dog to remain calm, confident, and responsive, while still being prepared for continuous growth as training progresses.

This program combines obedience, manners, leash skills, and off-leash foundations into one comprehensive system that builds clarity and stability in everyday life.

Skills Covered:

Sit
Down
Place
Recall (Come)
Loose-leash walking
Door manners
Food manners
People manners
On-leash and foundational off-leash reliability

Our training philosophy is gentle, fair, and structured, with a strong emphasis on maintaining a positive attitude. We want dogs to enjoy working, understand expectations, and feel confident operating within boundaries — not simply comply out of pressure.

This is a Board & Train program, meaning your dog lives and trains with us daily. We do the heavy lifting by building structure, routine, and consistency that most owners simply don’t have the time to establish on their own. Once the foundation is in place, we shift our focus to coaching you on how to maintain and build upon that progress.

What’s Included:

4–5 weeks of immersive Board & Train
All training equipment provided (including, but not limited to, a slip lead and raised dog bed)
A thorough go-home lesson, where we teach you how to apply each command and follow through at home
3 follow-up private lessons to support long-term success and accountability

The Dream Dog Program is ideal for owners who want real results but lack the time necessary to train consistently on their own. We create the foundation — then coach you on how to keep it strong.

Puppy Foundations

Board & Train Program

Early Foundations, Structure & Routine

3–4 Weeks | $2,100

Our Puppy Board & Train Program is designed to give your puppy the strongest possible start by building clarity, structure, and healthy habits early — before confusion and unwanted behaviors have a chance to develop.

Rather than focusing on quick puppy tricks, this program teaches your puppy how to live successfully in your world. We focus on developing calm behavior, engagement, and responsiveness while introducing boundaries in a way that is gentle, fair, and confidence-building.

Puppies thrive when expectations are clear and routines are predictable. Through this program, we help your puppy learn how to settle, focus, and relax — while still being playful, curious, and happy.

This is a Board & Train program, meaning your puppy lives and trains with us in a structured environment designed to accelerate learning. We handle the heavy lifting during these critical early weeks, then transition you into the role of confident handler at home.

Focus Areas Include:

Foundational obedience concepts
Engagement and focus
Calm behavior and impulse control
Early manners and boundaries
Crate training to build calm confinement and independence
Place mat / raised bed training to teach settling and relaxation
Developing a healthy daily routine
Confidence building and appropriate social behavior

Our goal is not perfection — it’s to create a puppy that understands structure, feels secure within boundaries, and is prepared for continued growth as training progresses.

What’s Included:

3–4 weeks of immersive Puppy Board & Train
All training equipment provided (including a slip lead and raised dog bed)
A detailed go-home lesson, where we coach you step-by-step on how to maintain progress at home
2 follow-up private lessons to support the transition from training back into your daily routine
Personalized coaching to help you develop a realistic, sustainable routine that sets your puppy up for long-term success

This program is ideal for owners who want to start their puppy off right but don’t have the time or experience required to build consistent structure during these important early stages. We guide your puppy through the learning process — then guide you so the success continues at home. If you're up for it, we also encourage, but do not require you to meet once or twice with us and your pup throughout the program.
