At The Collar Club Academy, our Board & Train program is designed to give your dog the focused training they need while providing you with the tools and knowledge to maintain that training at home. This hybrid program combines immersive, hands-on training at our facility with exposure to real-world environments, ensuring your dog is prepared for any situation.

What Makes Our Board & Train Program Different?

Our Board & Train program goes beyond traditional training by offering a comprehensive approach that includes:

Real-World Training Environments

We don’t just train in our facility. Your dog will be exposed to various environments, such as parks, nature trails, dog-friendly stores, and urban areas. This ensures your dog behaves well in different settings, from quiet spaces to busy, high-traffic areas.

Private Lessons for You

Before your dog graduates from our program, we schedule private lessons both at our facility and in your home. This ensures a smooth transition back to your daily life and helps you reinforce the training at home.

Ongoing Owner Education

Our program isn’t just for your dog; it's for you too! We focus on educating you as the dog owner, giving you the tools to continue training at home. You’ll learn how to be a confident leader for your dog and maintain their progress long-term.

Comprehensive Training Areas

Whether it's leash manners, obedience commands, door manners, or addressing behavioral issues like jumping or counter-surfing, our program covers all the basics and more. We ensure your dog learns positive behaviors and builds the habits they need to thrive in your home and beyond.

The 3 D’s of Training

We incorporate Distance, Distraction, and Duration into every command to ensure that your dog responds reliably, no matter the situation.

Program Duration and Flexibility

Our Board & Train program typically lasts 2-3 weeks, which is our most popular option. This program focuses on on-leash and partial off-leash training, addressing minor behavior modifications such as no jumping, no nipping, crate training, potty training, leash reactivity, leash manners, recall (come when called off-leash), and more.

For more advanced training or more challenging behaviors, we also offer a 4-6 week program. This is ideal for dogs requiring fully off-leash training or dealing with more complex behaviors such as separation anxiety.

We customize our programs to ensure the best results for both you and your dog.
