About
Board and Trains are one of the most popular training options in the busy world we live in today!
There are many reasons people choose to send their dog to a Board & Train program. If you are going out of town, why not send your dog somewhere that will maintain & train new skills so your dog is not only tired, but better trained as well? Have a new puppy that you don't want to potty train or are frustrated with the "naughty" puppy behaviors of chewing, biting, jumping, whining/barking, stealing clothing items, etc? Or simply want to board your dog where they can experience many fun activities and socialization opportunities?
You can customize and prioritize the skills and activities you want your dog to work on while they stay with us!

A note if your dog has not been to our facility recently...
Our goal is to minimize stress as much as possible for your dog's boarding stay. Because of this, if we have not seen your dog recently for one of our services, we may require your dog to come to a few days of Day Training prior to their Board & Train stay. This allows us to get to know your dog, and allows your dog to get to know us- the trainers, the routine here, and our facility. This way they can be more comfortable on their first stay with us. In addition, it allows us to give any recommendations prior to your boarding stay.
​
*Exceptions to this rule may be made on a case by case basis (such as if you do not live near Rochester)
