Board and Train Dog Training
Our board and train programme is the most effective way to transform your dog’s behaviour. Your dog comes to stay with us in our home based facility, receiving intensive daily training that delivers results weekly classes simply cannot match.
How Board and Train Works
Your Dog Stays With Us
Your dog lives in our home, not a kennel. They sleep indoors, have access to secure outdoor space, and become part of daily family life. This calm, structured environment is ideal for learning.
Daily Training Sessions
Unlike weekly classes where your dog trains for one hour then spends a week forgetting what they learned, our dogs receive multiple training sessions every single day. This consistency accelerates learning dramatically.
Real World Practice
Training isn’t just about commands. We take your dog into real situations – walks in public, encounters with other dogs, visits to cafes – so they learn to behave in the environments that actually matter.
Full Handover
When your dog comes home, we don’t just hand over the lead. You’ll receive comprehensive handover sessions where we teach you everything your dog has learned and how to maintain it.

Board and train is a significant investment, but it delivers significant results. Most clients find it more cost effective than months of weekly classes that don’t stick.
