If they can’t come with you, let us train them while you’re gone.
We understand that not everyone has the time or desire to train their dog. So if you are traveling – or just need a break – let us take care of your dog’s boarding AND your dog’s training. With two programs to choose from, we have the right training level and length of stay for any dog.
**NOTE: We DO NOT accept dogs displaying human or dog directed aggression OR separation anxiety into our board and train programs.
During their two-week stay, your dog will have multiple training sessions each day, starting with their breakfast meal. Daily, dogs are given 1-2 leash walks in the surrounding areas (including fields, downtown areas, trails, etc.) as their training progresses.
We believe every interaction we have with your dog is a training moment. From coming out of the crate for a potty break, to going back in and resting quietly in their crate, each moment teaches your dog appropriate behavior.
Your dog will also receive a variety of other exercises, including time on our canine treadmill (which helps with confidence building and burning excess energy) as well as regular structured walks in the local neighborhood.
This program will give your young dog or puppy proper socialization and jumpstart skills such as “place”, coming when called, leash manners, and calm house behavior. This program can be flexible and can be customized to help with other problem behaviors such as house breaking, jumping, nuisance barking, etc. Please contact us for more information.
Yes. We will travel within a 30 mile radius of our Brunswick studio to pick up or drop off your dog. There is a $50 fee for this service.

Bitches in active heat will not be accepted.
