Sound Familiar?
You Love Your Dog.
But They're Running the House.
๐ค
Pulling on Every Walk
Walks should be enjoyable. Instead your arm is sore and you dread picking up the leash.
๐ช
Jumping on Everyone
Guests, kids, strangers โ your dog doesn't discriminate, and neither does the embarrassment.
๐ฑ
Reactivity & Aggression
Lunging, barking, growling at dogs or people. Behaviors that are scary and getting worse.
๐ต
Nothing Is Working
You've tried YouTube and treats. Nothing sticks because real life is too distracting.
Our Programs
Training Built Around Your Dog
Every program is customized to your dog's breed, age, and specific behaviors. We don't do cookie-cutter โ we do what actually works.
Most Popular
Board & Train
Your dog stays with us at our Glastonbury facility. We do the daily training, send bi-weekly report card videos, and teach you exactly how to maintain everything during handover lessons.
Ages 8 Weeks+
Puppy Programs
We offer both private in-home lessons and board & train options for puppies. Training at this age is the perfect opportunity to ensure the next decade together is a joyful one.
Flexible Options
Private Lessons & Day Training
Built for owners who want to be hands-on. In-home lessons, facility sessions, or day training โ your dog comes in, works with a trainer, and goes home with progress you can see.
The Process
How Board & Train Works
Simple, transparent, and built to last. Here's exactly what happens from first contact to a transformed dog.
Free Consultation Call
We talk through your dog's specific behaviors, your goals, and which program is the right fit. No pressure โ just an honest conversation with a real trainer.
Drop-Off & Immersive Training Begins
Your dog stays at our Glastonbury facility, integrated into our pack. They enjoy free time in the play yards when not in structured training sessions.
Bi-Weekly Report Card Videos
Twice a week, you receive a detailed video update โ what your dog is learning, progress made, behaviors to watch for, and written homework notes.
Handover Lessons โ You Learn Too
On pickup day, your trainer walks you through everything hands-on. We teach you how to maintain the training at home. Additional handover lessons are scheduled in the following weeks.
Final Report Card & Ongoing Support
Your final Report Card includes a Handover Video covering every behavior and goal. We're committed to your dog's long-term success โ not just the day they go home.

"I have used Ivan for my last 2 chow chows. Both dogs responded very quickly to his teaching style. He is always very energetic and patient, showing me how to reinforce the lessons at home. I have no fear leaving my fur-baby in his care."
