Board, Train & Beyond Application

Your dog will stay in our state-of-the-art, climate controlled kennel, which is situated next to our

training academy and within earshot of our house. Your dogs health and safety is our primary concern,

and our kennel has been designed with safety and sanitation in mind. Each dog has their own indoor

and outdoor run.

We recommend you wait until your dog is 5-6 months before enrolling in a Board & Train

program.

Your dog will absolutely remember who you are! Dogs don’t ‘miss’ us in the same way that we do,

they are living in the moment and having fun learning their new skills, but they certainly will be elated to

be reunited with their family upon pickup.

Our routine is to rouse the dogs from their sleep at around 8am for a morning bathroom break and

breakfast. They will spend the rest of the day alternating between training sessions with a trainer,

reflecting in their kennel, socializing with other dogs, or going on fun field trips into public. Dinner is

served at 5pm and is followed by more training until around 8 or 9pm.

Your dog will be kept with other dogs around, to provide a sense of comfort while they are away from

you. If they can interact appropriately, they will be allowed supervised play and walks with other

compatible dogs.

We typically don’t recommend visits. This is because although it may be comforting for you, visits

often add unnecessary stress to your dog. Stressed dogs don’t learn well so we do everything possible

to minimize stress.

You will get frequent updates! Be prepared to see which trainer your dog is bonding with the closest,

your dogs favourite playmate, what your dog is learning and where they have been exploring.

Rest, assured, your dog will be treated like one of our own during their stay. We keep spaces very

limited so that we maintain a very close bond and understanding of your dog, and should an issue arise,

we will fly into action, keeping you notified of course. Your trust means the world to us, and expect full

transparency in return.

Before coming home, your dog will go for professional grooming and look fresh for their

homecoming.

When your dog finishes their program, we will spend about 60 minutes coaching you how to

maintain your dogs training for years to come. You will also take home resources and have

access to our online library in case you forget anything during your handover session.

We have gone to incredible lengths during the program to ensure your dog retains their training

perfectly upon returning home, however it doesn’t stop there! We deliver our final training

modules after your dog returns home. This includes a home visit, where we reinforce the

training even further into your home and walk you through the Family Dog Training module. We

also bring you and your family back for a refresher session where we check and refresh your dog

(and you) on the keys to long term maintenance

Absolutely! This is by far the best way to ensure that your dogs training is maintained while you

are away. Although regular boarding isn’t an intensive program as our B&T programs

By working with different trainers, in different environments, we are making sure that the dogs

understand this training is expected everywhere. This is a common concern but rarely an issue.

We are so confident with our training, that if you are having any difficulties following your

program, we will personally work with you 1-on-1, until your dog is back to A+ listening.
