This is our fastest path to real, lasting change — your dog lives and trains with us, full-time, for a set number of weeks. No juggling your schedule around lessons, no trying to practice consistently after a long workday. Just focused, daily training with a professional, every day, until it sticks.
Every board & train dog starts with a free Meet & Greet day first, so we both know they’re set up to succeed in a longer stay before you commit.
2 Week Basic Obedience — $2,300
For puppies 6 months and under
A focused two-week foundation while your puppy is in their prime socialization window. Covers name recognition, recall, sit and down with stays, hand targeting, heel and loose-leash walking, plus crate and house training and calm vet/groomer handling as needed. Includes twice-weekly report cards and two handover lessons.
3 Week Basic Obedience — $3,600
For dogs 6 months and older with no prior training
The same foundation as our 2-week program, with an extra week because older dogs already have habits — some we keep, some we redirect — so the additional time is what makes new behaviors actually stick. Includes twice-weekly report cards and three handover lessons.
Jumpstart Board & Train (5-Week Split) — $5,000
For puppies under 6 months old
Our signature puppy program, built around how puppies actually grow up: an initial 3-week stay to lock in the foundation, then a second 2-week stay a couple of months later, right as adolescence tests everything they just learned. Most puppies start between 3 and 6 months old and finish by 14 months. Two touchpoints beats one long stay that fades by the time your dog grows up. Includes twice-weekly report cards and five handover lessons. See the full Jumpstart program.
3 Week Advanced Obedience — $4,200
For dogs that already have a training foundation
For dogs that know the basics but haven’t proven it under real distraction. We sharpen recall, stays, heel and loose-leash work, add polite greetings, and tailor in additional goals. Includes twice-weekly report cards and three handover lessons.
4 Week Advanced Obedience — $5,800
For guard breeds, dogs 90 lbs+, or maximum off-leash reliability
Our most thorough obedience program — same advanced curriculum as the 3-week, with a fourth week to fully proof reliability against real-world distractions. Built for dogs where “usually listens” isn’t good enough. Includes twice-weekly report cards and four handover lessons.
3 Week Custom Board & Train — $4,500
Requires an in-home consult first
There’s no fixed curriculum here — that’s the point. Built for a dog that’s outgrown the basics but doesn’t need a full reactivity program: something genuinely in between. We build this one session at a time around exactly what we see at your consult and what you’re after. Includes twice-weekly report cards and three handover lessons. The $500 consult fee comes off this price.

Every Board & Train Program Includes
- Twice-weekly individualized video tutorials — a curated training guide built from your dog’s own lessons, narrated so you know exactly what to look for and how to build on it at home. Every dog gets their own — nothing generic, nothing recycled.
- Handover lessons that start the day your dog comes home — held right in your own home, the first at drop-off and a follow-up about 7–10 days later (each running 90–120 minutes), so the training actually transfers to you, in the environment you’ll actually be using it in
- A program you can actually maintain once they’re back home
- A full starter kit so you’re set up to continue at home: collar, leash, bait bag, treats, enrichment toys, and a head halter
What to Pack
Send a little more food than the program length to cover any extra days — 17 days for a 2-week stay, 24 days for 3 weeks, 31 days for 4 weeks. We can store or prepare raw/uncooked food for an additional fee. (See our full packing list on the Boarding & Daycare page — the same do’s and don’ts apply.)

A 50% deposit at booking holds your spot, with the balance due at drop-off. Fully refundable if training hasn’t started yet; after that, we ask for one week’s notice or a $250 cancellation fee. Second and each additional dog: 10% off.
