Board and train is the quickest way to jumpstart your dog’s training, perfect for households who struggle to find time to train, who feel overwhelmed by their dog's behavior, or who want a professional to set a solid training foundation. Board and train dogs stay in our home and learn throughout the day in multiple targeted training sessions.
Your dog will return to you with a new set of skills and a training plan for continued training and management at home. All board and train programs include regular progress updates during your dog's stay and follow up lessons after your dog goes home to ensure success.
In addition to our board and train programs below, we can design a custom board and train program to match your goals or desired timeframe.
This program will teach your dog the skills they need to be a happy, balanced, well-behaved companion and also teach you you how to communicate effectively with your dog in order to reinforce their training. Charm School is for dogs 6 months or older.

Your dog will stay in our house, not a crowded kennel environment, and practice how to behave during normal daily life: when the doorbell rings, when unloading the dishwasher, etc.
Taking small numbers of board and train dogs at a time means we can give each dog the personal attention they deserve.
We use a blended approach to training and adapt to your dog’s breed, age, and individual temperament. We teach new skills by breaking them down into little steps to set the dog up for success. Once the dog masters these, we gradually increase the challenge by practicing around distractions, in different environments, and in various real life scenarios to strengthen their reliability.
We finally found a gem of a dog trainer in Ariel, the owner of Charm School for Dogs. Through Ariel's 4 week Board-and-Train program, our dog, Toby, grew from a lost, anxious street dog to a gentleman. She taught Toby the perfect toolbox of useful hand signals and verbal commands, tailored to his needs. (He has vision and hearing impairment.) He also became socialized and learned behaviors like not jumping on people or mouthing them.
