We understand that training your pet can be stressful and time-consuming. The breed, history, temperament, and age of the dog affect the process. However, with our professional dog boarding and training classes in San Diego, you can be sure to get your dog back on track.
What is Board and Training?
Think of a boarding and training program as a boarding school for dogs. Here, dogs are kept at a facility for some time in the care of a trainer. The trainers will tackle things such as disobedience, aggression, and overreaction in dogs. There are different types of dog board and training programs:
- Off-leash: This training is perfect for dogs that aren’t aggressive, just badly behaved. Just like the name suggests, the digs are trained without a leash or restrictive tool.
- On-leash: Aggressive and over-reactive dogs are usually subjected to this training. Here, the dogs are subject to restrictive tools like harnesses and leashes to help their trading.
- On and off-leash: This is a comprehensive training that combines both.
Additionally, boarding and training for your fuzzy pal can be either in-home or kennel-based.
In-home board and train are done in the trainer’s house. Here, your dog essentially becomes part of the trainer’s family. There would be no cage. This type of training is to acclimatize the dog to an indoor environment. The dogs would be trained on respecting boundaries, basic manners, and bad behavior would be modified.
The kennel board and train are done outside in a kennel, most likely with other dogs. However, the dogs only stay in the kennel when they are not being trained. Every other time, the dogs would be ought for exercise or training.
Who is Board and Training For?
Dog board and train is essentially a boot camp for dogs. When you hear this, you may be thinking of aggressive dogs and reactive dogs. But, boarding and training are for dogs that need behavioral modifications of any kind and at any age. We do this through socialization, loving supervision and several intense exercises.
Maybe your puppy doesn’t understand personal boundaries and is peeing in your house. Or you have a dog that jumps on anyone that comes close to them. It’s also for people who need help teaching their dogs basic commands.
We understand that not everyone can train dogs. There’s a lot of skill, patience and techniques involved. So, to ensure you give your dog the best service, you can enroll them for boarding and training. Our facilities are top-tier, and you can be sure your dog would get a home away from home.
Boarding and training are only effective with serious daily training exercises. So, we recommend you choose a program that gives the trainer ample time to work on your dog. During this time, the trainer would have 24/7 access to your dog, reinforcing good behavior and modifying bad behavior.
After the program, you and the trainer will review the work done on the pup. Then you will see how you can continue the work at your home.

Custom Training for your Pup
Every dog has a different temperament and history, and we know this. That’s why we tailor our training on an individual basis. It’s designed to help your dog learn at its own pace. This method has proven more effective because it takes into account the nuances of each dog.
We would start with training nuisance behaviors like barking, chewing, jumping, and barking. Then start teaching the pup how to manage distractions and concentrate. If you want, we can start service dog training for your pup at this stage.
