Residential Day–Training

Residential (Day-Training) Programs

Our Residential Day–Training Program is an ideal solution for busy dog owners who want professional training for their dog but prefer them to return home each night. Similar to a board-and-train program, this option provides intensive, customized training during the day while ensuring your dog gets to spend evenings and weekends with you.

Each program focuses on teaching and reinforcing obedience commands while providing real-world practice in various environments. Additionally, you'll receive private lessons to learn how to maintain and progress your dog's training.
