Let a professional do all the hard work for you! A Board and Train is an extensive program that allows your dog to receive immersive training while in the comfort of the trainer's home. Your dog will live with their trainer and get multiple daily training sessions in addition to exercise, play time, socialization, hikes, and fun field trips! This program is great for owners who don’t have the time, patience, or availability to commit to other training programs like Private Lessons. We only take 1-3 Board and Trains at once, so that we can dedicate as much time as possible to your dog.
We understand it’s hard to leave your pets for a long period of time, so you will receive multiple updates throughout their Board and Train with pictures and videos to show off their adventures and training! With your permsission, we will also post videos on our social media stories to show what your pup is learning. After your pup's training, you’ll get to see your dog's highest potential and receive a well-mannered, happy dog who will listen to you. However, don’t think you’re getting out of all of the work! 70% of our job is training the dogs, while the other 30% is training you to continue the training once they’re home.
The Puppy Foundations Board and Train is a great way to set your puppy up for success as they grow into an adult. We know that the puppy stage is one of the most important, and challenging, parts of your dog's life and we want to help them start it out right! Throughout their time with us at YPA, they will learn to have fun, enjoy training, and gain valuable skills to grow into a well rounded dog. Your puppy will be treated like one of our own and get to be part of our pack.
