Question 1

Where does my dog stay?

Accepted Answer

Your dog stays in the trainer’s home, living as part of the household. This is intentional, real behavior is built in real environments.

Question 2

What training methods do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use balanced, results-driven methods tailored to each dog. The goal is clarity, confidence, and reliability.

Question 3

Will my dog listen at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because owner education is built into the program. Follow-up lessons ensure you know exactly how to maintain results.

Question 4

What age is required?

Accepted Answer

Most dogs should be 4 months or older. Suitability is confirmed during your consultation.

Question 5

Is this guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Training works when structure and consistency are maintained. We provide the system, the training, and the follow-through needed for success.

Question 6

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Board & Train spots are limited. All programs begin with a consultation to confirm fit and goals.

Question 7

How much does Board and Train cost?

Accepted Answer

Board and Train is priced per program, not per night. The plan we recommend depends on your dog's assessment and behavior goals. Programs typically run 2 to 4 weeks. We confirm pricing during the consultation, after we understand the scope and decide together whether this is the right service.

Question 8

What's the difference between Board and Train and regular Dog Training?

Accepted Answer

Regular Dog Training happens in your home, with you involved in every session. Board and Train means the dog stays in the trainer's home for the full program, working through behavior in real environments around the clock. The owner-education component happens at the end, with hand-off lessons that ensure you can maintain the results once the dog is home.

Question 9

Will my dog forget what they learned when they come home?

Accepted Answer

Not if owner education stays consistent. Every Board and Train program ends with hand-off sessions where we walk you through the cues, the timing, and the reinforcement schedule. Follow-up support is built in. The dog learns the behavior; the family maintains it. Without that owner piece, any training program (ours included) decays.

Question 10

Is Board and Train cruel?

Accepted Answer

No, when done well. Our Board and Train places the dog in a structured home environment with a single trainer, behavior-first protocols, and a balanced training philosophy. There are no kennels, no group housing, no rotating handlers. The dog lives as part of the household and works through the behavior plan in real life. The concern about cruelty applies to facilities that use heavy aversive tools or warehouse-style boarding. That's not what we do.
