Unleash your dog’s full potential
Board and Train Dog Training in Boca Raton
Our Board & Train program is our best program for getting results quickly.
You drop off your dog, and we do the work for you.
Programs run from 3 to 16 weeks (21 to 112 days), led by our featured 35-Day Off-Leash Standard.
We put in hundreds of repetitions, because that’s what it takes to teach every behavior the right way.
Where Your Dog Stays
Your dog stays full-time at our licensed facility, attached to a veterinary clinic.
Our team cares for your dog around the clock and teaches good manners every day.
It’s a calm place to learn, not a loud, stressful kennel.
Who Board and Train Is For
We have Board & Train programs for:
- Puppies, through our Puppy Head Start Program
- Friendly but untrained dogs, through General Obedience Training
- Aggressive, reactive, and fearful dogs, through Behavior Modification
- Sporting breeds and hunting dogs, through Gun Dog Training
- Future service dogs
The 35-Day Off-Leash Standard
35 days of full-immersion Board & Train. Your dog stays at our licensed facility, attached to a veterinary clinic, and trains with our team several times a day, on and off leash, in real-world places. Before your dog comes home, you complete 3 hands-on go-home lessons with us, so you leave knowing how to keep your dog’s training strong at home. $10,000.
What’s Included
Board & Train includes reliable on- and off-leash obedience, behavior modification, proper socialization skills, and much more.
Your dog trains one-on-one and alongside other dogs.
We also train off-site in real-world places, so your dog learns to listen anywhere.
Our goal is a dog who is obedient, confident, and happy to do their training with anyone, anywhere, at any time.
By the end of the program, your dog will be better prepared to handle new dogs, new people, and new places.
You’ll see progress on the specific issues that brought you to us, as well as in overall obedience.
Every Board & Train includes 3 go-home lessons with you before your dog comes home. Graduates may be invited to our Concierge program for ongoing phone and email support, additional lessons, and services.
How It Works
Your dog trains with a trainer several times a day.
We don’t use long, boring sessions that wear a dog down.
We use short, high-energy sessions, so your dog stays focused and actually absorbs what they’re learning.
We start by building engagement and attention, then grow that into disciplined obedience.
Attention and positioning are the foundation for everything that comes after.
Exercises start on leash, within a leash’s distance, and then we condition each command in as many environments as we can.
Commands Your Dog Will Learn
- Here (a reliable recall)
- Sit and sit-stay
- Down and down-stay
- Heel (attentive, loose-leash walking)
- Place
Your Handover Week
After extensive proofing, you complete 3 hands-on go-home lessons with us before your dog comes home.
We teach you the skills you need to keep your dog’s training strong at home.
Your dog has learned a new language with us, and now we teach you to speak it too.
You also go home with specific written and verbal instructions, and graduates may be invited to our Concierge program for ongoing support.
Visits and Updates
For programs longer than three weeks, you can schedule a 15-minute unsupervised visit, Monday through Friday at 5:30 PM.
Visits must be scheduled in advance, and they are separate from training lessons.
We share your dog’s progress through photos, videos, and social media posts.
You can always ask for a quick update, and longer updates usually come weekly.

Board and Train FAQs
How much will my dog be worked with?
As much as your dog needs.
On average, Board & Train dogs do multiple sessions a day for a total of 1.5 to 3 hours of training, and sometimes more.
Will my dog listen to me or just the trainer?
Both.
Once your dog knows a command, we have them work for different people in different places around all kinds of distractions.
Our handover process makes sure the training carries over to you at home.
What should I pack for my dog?
Food, feeding instructions, and a paper copy of your dog’s vaccination records.
