Board & Train Transformation Programs
Our Board & Train programs offer an immersive training experience, one-on-one attention and reinforcement around the clock, and exposure to a variety of new dogs and experiences.
During the 2-4 weeks your dog lives on the farm, he or she will work intensively on obedience, behavior modification, and any specialized skills requested by you.
In addition to multiple structured, specialized training sessions throughout each day, we provide plenty of recreation and enrichment! As a guest at our 18-acre farm, your dog will have opportunities for structured leash walking, pack walks, off-leash runs, and introductions to dog sports like Dog Agility, Canine Frisbee (Disc Dog), and Field Work.

Service Dog Training Program
Certified Service Dogs Can Accompany their Owners Anywhere!
This program is designed to prepare dogs to assist individuals with disabilities. We train dogs to perform essential tasks like accompanying owners in public so they feel safe, performing simple household tasks, providing comfort and support to those with PTSD and other mental health conditions, and giving physical support to humans with mobility issues.
Our trainers work intensively to ensure your service dog is reliable, obedient, and responsive in various environments. At the end of our 4-week program, your dog will be able to pass the ADA Service Dog test as required by law, and will be awarded a certificate of satisfactory completion.
