Each week, your family will receive Weekly Training Videos capturing your dog’s progress and learning in action. These videos let everyone at home celebrate milestones, see real-time results, and understand the skills being built. By showing how your dog responds in structured training sessions, families gain confidence and clarity in applying lessons at home. It’s a way to stay engaged, feel connected, and witness the transformation firsthand.

A REWARDING EXPERIENCE
We balance focused training with fun, rewarding experiences that help your dog feel joy, curiosity, and emotional ease. The nervous system learns best when it can shift between structured work and positive exploration, allowing the brain to release calming chemicals that support confidence and connection. These moments of play are not distractions but essential parts of healthy learning.

REAL-LIFE APPLICATION
Real life application is a core part of our Board and Train experience because we want your dog to confidently use their new skills in the same environments you navigate every day. Training inside the home builds the foundation, but taking those skills into the real world teaches the nervous system how to stay calm, focused, and regulated when surrounded by everyday sights and sounds. This is where learning becomes truly reliable.

GRADUATION DAY | HAND-OVER CLASS
Graduation Day is a wonderful and exciting part of our Board and Train experience, giving your family the chance to see firsthand how hard your dog has worked and how much their nervous system has grown. During this hands-on Handover Class, we walk you through each skill, explain the emotional foundations behind the behavior, and show you exactly how to continue reinforcing calm and structure at home. This is where the whole family becomes part of the process, learning how to guide your dog with clarity and confidence. Your understanding of what to do is essential for long term success, and we make sure you leave feeling prepared, supported, and proud of your dog’s transformation.
