Puppy - Adult Board & Train

Puppy-Adult Board & Train

Our Puppy to Adult Program is designed to provide a smooth, structured transition from puppyhood to adulthood, laying a strong foundation and building lasting habits along the way.

Your puppy will complete two separate training stays with us:

  •  Initial Stay (1 Week): During their first stay, we focus on early socialization, engagement, confidence building, crate training, potty training, car travel, household manners, and more. This stage sets the groundwork for a well-adjusted and confident dog.

  •  Second Stay (at 6 Months): Your dog will return for either our 4 or 5-week Board & Train program to build on those foundational skills with structured obedience, impulse control, public etiquette, and real-world application.

The program includes all essential training tools and hands-on lessons to ensure you feel confident maintaining your dog’s progress at home.

Training Focus Areas:

  • Foundational Commands (On/Off-Leash): Come, Sit, Down, Stay, Heel, Place/“Bed”. Your dog will master essential commands for everyday life and safe off-leash freedom.

  • Impulse Control: We teach your dog to remain calm and composed in a variety of real-world situations.

  • Confidence Building: We help your dog develop self-assurance, encouraging them to approach new environments and challenges with ease.

  • Car Travel Etiquette: Your dog will learn how to travel respectfully and safely in the car.

  • House Manners: From jumping to counter-surfing, we target unwanted behaviors to create a more peaceful home environment.

  • Crate Training: We reinforce the crate as a safe, comfortable space—offering your dog a secure place to rest and relax.
