Board & Train

Considering a Board & Train?

During your dog’s stay with us and our families, they will be treated just like our own dogs, with love, care, respect, and an understanding of what they need not just to survive, but to truly thrive.

Before the real training even begins, we focus on building a strong bond and relationship with your dog. Once that foundation is there, we become a team. For training to be successful long-term, that relationship and knowledge must then be passed on to you.

Our responsibility is to teach you everything you need to know to continue your dog’s progress in the real world.

It’s important to understand that a dog is not fully trained in three, four, or even five. Training is an ongoing process that requires time, consistency, and follow-through.

However, we can accomplish incredible progress in just a few short weeks. Think of a board and train as building the foundation.

During their stay, we focus on:
• Establishing clear communication
• Reinforcing desired behaviors
• Addressing unwanted behaviors
• Teaching your dog how to learn

By the time your dog goes home, they have a strong foundation and a clear understanding of expectations. Most importantly, they are ready and willing to work with you.

But real success doesn’t come from the trainer alone.

Real results are 10% trainer and 90% owner.

Our job is to provide the education, guidance, and tools you need. Your job is to continue the work at home and attend follow-up lessons so you and your dog can succeed together.

Your dog has been working with us during their stay, now they must work with you.

This means dedicating time, practicing consistently, and staying committed to the process.

When owners follow through, the results can be truly life-changing for both you and your dog.

If the above sounds achievable, then a Board & Train may be a great option for you and your dog!

In our Board & Train program, dogs live in our home and become part of our daily routine.

They join us for training classes, time at our FYZ Academy, hikes, swimming, and other real-world activities.

We believe that for dogs to become the best versions of themselves, they need more than just structured training sessions. They need guidance in real-life situations, which allows us to see how they respond to everyday environments and help them succeed in the real world.

Every Board & Train program is fully customized to the needs and goals of both the dog and the owner.

During their stay, we work on foundational behaviors such as:
• Sit
• Down
• Recall
• Loose leash walking / heeling
• Bed and stays
• General manners and impulse control

Depending on your dog’s specific needs, we may also work on:
• Reactivity and leash frustration
• Confidence building
• E-collar training and off-leash recall
• Appropriate social skills with people and other dogs
• Environmental stability and neutrality

Our goal is not just to teach commands, but to help your dog develop clear communication, confidence, and reliability in everyday life.
