Our Board & Train programs are for owners who want real, lasting change with their dog and the confidence to take them anywhere in everyday life.
Your dog stays in our care and works through an intensive, structured training program tailored to your specific goals and your dog’s individual needs. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every program is personalised and led by experienced trainers who understand behaviour, motivation, and real-world application.
We address common challenges such as on-lead reactivity, dog-to-dog aggression, unreliable obedience, poor recall, pulling on lead, lack of engagement, and difficulty coping around distractions. Training goes beyond basic commands, focusing on clarity, cooperation, and reliability even when temptations are present.
Throughout the program, training is intentionally taken into multiple environments to ensure skills are proofed outside the training space. This includes real life scenarios such as public spaces, cafés, and busy environments, so your dog learns how to function calmly and confidently in the real world.
All Board & Train programs run for a minimum of four weeks, regardless of age. Program length beyond this depends on your goals, your dog’s progress, and the level of reliability you want to achieve.
What’s included:
• Intensive daily training with experienced trainers
• Personalised training plan tailored to your dog and goals
• Real world proofing across varied environments
• Play-based training to build engagement and relationship
• Structured routines including training, play, rest, and enrichment

This program is ideal for owners who want more than basic obedience and are committed to building a dog that can live calmly, confidently, and reliably in the real world.
To support your dog’s comfort and well-being during their stay, owners are asked to provide their dog’s usual food. Maintaining a consistent diet helps reduce stomach upsets and unnecessary disruptions while boarding.
