Our Board and Train program is our most intensive offering, designed for dogs needing deep behavioural reset or owners seeking comprehensive foundation building. Your dog stays with us for four weeks or longer, receiving hands-on daily training in a structured, controlled environment. This isn’t quick-fix training; it’s transformational work that creates lasting change through consistency, clarity, and real-world application.
Every day is structured around your dog’s specific behavioural needs and learning style. We combine professional training expertise with genuine care, creating an environment where your dog can reset, learn, and build confidence.
Multiple training blocks daily focused on your dog's specific behavioural goals. Whether it's reactivity, aggression, anxiety, or foundation building, we customize the approach to what your dog needs.
More than exercise, we focus on emotional regulation, problem-solving, and building a calm, confident state of mind. Puzzle work, scent games, place training, and activities that tire the mind.
Your dog doesn't stay in a bubble. We take real-world outings to different environments, expose them to varied situations, and build reliability in the real world, not just the training facility.
Every interaction, every correction, every reinforcement follows the same clear method. Your dog knows what to expect, which accelerates learning and builds genuine confidence.
Your dog’s journey follows a structured progression designed to build foundation, address specific behavioural concerns, and prepare you for success at home.
Board and Train is ideal if your dog struggles with severe reactivity, aggression, anxiety, or behavioural challenges that need intensive professional work. It’s also perfect if you want solid foundation built, or if your dog needs a complete reset after years of reinforced behaviors.
Your dog stays at our professional facility in Oldcastle, a controlled environment designed specifically for intensive training work. We provide structured spaces for training, comfortable areas for rest and recovery, and outdoor spaces for real-world work. Every element is optimized for your dog’s learning and well-being.
Whether you’re interested in training, daycare, boarding, or just want to learn more about how we can help, we’re here to listen. Fill out this form and we’ll be in touch within 24 hours to discuss the best program for your dog.
The standard program is four weeks, but the ideal length depends on your dog’s specific needs and the scope of behavioural work required. During your consultation, we’ll assess your dog and recommend an appropriate timeline. We believe in taking the time needed to create lasting change rather than rushing the process.
We adjust our approach. Every dog is different, and we’re committed to finding what works for your individual dog. We’ll communicate with you throughout the process about progress and any adjustments we’re making to the training plan.
No. Your dog will recognize and bond with you when you pick them up. In fact, many owners report their dogs are more responsive after the program because they’ve learned clear communication and feel more confident. The relationship strengthens through understanding.
We build a strong foundation, but training doesn’t end when your dog comes home, you’ll need to practice at home to maintain and strengthen the results. Don’t worry: we coach you through the plan, provide clear homework, and support you along the way. If your schedule is busy, our day programs can help reinforce training and keep progress moving forward.
Pricing depends on program length (four weeks minimum) and your dog’s specific behavioural needs. We’ll discuss investment during your consultation and work with you to create a plan. We believe quality training is an investment in your dog’s long-term happiness and your peace of mind.
Start with a consultation where we assess your dog, discuss their behavioural challenges, and determine if Board and Train is the right fit. We’ll outline the program, answer your questions, and create a plan together. From there, we’ll schedule your dog’s stay and begin the process.
