Our Board & Train program is designed to give your dog a truly personalized training experience—unlike the typical kennel-based programs. Instead of being housed in a facility with dozens of dogs waiting for their turn, your dog will live in the home of a professional board and train dog trainer and be one of only 2–5 dogs in their care at a time.
Training shouldn’t fade when the program ends. That’s why, starting in January of 2026, every Board & Train program includes 12 months of LunaDogAI, our trainer-built digital training support system. It’s like having your trainer in your pocket—custom lessons, real-time answers, and professionally filmed guidance so progress continues at home.
No other training company offers this technology. Because your investment deserves more than a finish line.
We intentionally keep the program small so your dog receives one-on-one attention, daily training sessions, playtime, and structured socialization. Your dog won’t just learn in a sterile training room—they’ll practice skills in the trainer’s home and in real-world environments, helping build reliable behavior that lasts at home and in everyday life.
Home-based care: Your dog lives with their trainer, not in a kennel.
Small group training: Maximum of 5 client dogs per trainer for individualized focus.
Real-world exposure: Field trips and public outings help your dog practice obedience around real-life distractions.
Peace of mind: GPS collars, secure environments, and constant supervision keep your dog safe.
Progress you can see: We send photo and video updates twice a week so you can watch your dog’s transformation.

Yes — your dog will absolutely remember you after completing their Board & Train program.
Dogs are deeply bonded to their people, and that connection doesn’t disappear during training. In fact, time spent apart often strengthens the bond. Rest assured you will be greeted with tails wagging, full-body wiggles, and all.
Throughout the program, your dog is learning new skills, gaining confidence, and practicing calm behavior. When you reunite, you’ll see not only a dog that remembers you, but one that is the best version of themselves.
Our go-home lesson helps you step into your new role as the leader your dog needs, and we provide clear, personalized guidance to make the transition smooth and successful. With continued consistency at home, you’ll build an even stronger relationship with your dog.
