Board & Train FAQs

How do I choose between the 2-week and 4-week program?

The 2-week program is best for on-leash issues, walks, and better public manners. The 4-week flagship is for owners who want a fuller obedience package including off-leash reliability and stronger proofing. If you’re unsure, the consultation is how we determine the right fit.

Will I be involved if my dog is staying with you?

Yes. Every program includes owner transition so you understand the commands, expectations, and how to maintain the training at home.

Does Board & Train fix everything permanently?

Board & Train builds a strong foundation. Long-term results depend on consistency after pickup — we give you an easy to understand, simple system to keep it. We also are available for follow-up training sessions or phone calls as needed.

Do you offer custom plans?

Yes. We offer custom plans for owners who don’t need all the bells and whistles, and the ELITE option for owners who want maximum consistency and extended proofing.
