My Board and Train services provide a practical approach to dog training. When your dog comes to stay with me, they become part of my family, taking part in daily activities with a personalized training program specifically targeted to conquer their challenges.
I focus on real-life in-home dog training challenges, which means your dog will work on skills like leash walking, basic obedience, and good manners around the house. I use a structured approach, teaching boundaries and positive reinforcement-focused techniques to help your dog understand what behaviours are desirable and which ones are not.
Board and Trains are an excellent way to give your dog a reset and an opportunity to build foundational skills that they can continue with when they return home to you.
When my Dog Board and Train service is complete, you will have
an included wrap up session with me where we go over the fundamentals
of what your dog learned and how you can implement
these new learned behaviours into your life.
All dogs must be crate trained and must be up to date
on vaccinations.

DOG TRAINING MISSION
My mission is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where dogs can truly thrive and learn. I’m dedicated to giving every dog in my care the highest level of attention, structure, and love.
I believe that a well-rounded, happy dog is the result of balanced physical and mental stimulation, along with the ability to find and maintain calm. While staying with me, each dog experiences not just a home away from home, but an opportunity to grow into a well-behaved, content, and balanced companion.
To ensure every dog receives my full focus, I accept only one Board & Train dog at a time.
RELATIONSHIP BASED approach
As a Dog Trainer, my approach is rooted in building strong, trusting relationships between dogs and their humans. I believe that true progress begins with understanding, learning how a dog thinks, feels, and communicates.
Through clear structure, boundaries, consistency, and positive reinforcement, I help each dog develop confidence and calm while strengthening their connection with the people in their life.
Authenticity and Trust
I hold authenticity and trustworthiness as foundational principles. It's essential to me that I provide a transparent and honest perspective. I firmly believe in not sugar-coating things or offering unrealistic expectations when it comes to your dog's training. Every dog is a unique individual with their own set of needs and characteristics, and I honor and respect that. By being genuine and straightforward, I aim to establish a relationship of trust with my clients, ensuring they have a clear understanding of the process and what to expect. This approach not only leads to more effective results but also builds a solid foundation for long-lasting partnerships with both the dogs and their owners.
community and growth
Dog training, as I see it, is a dynamic process that involves not only working with dogs but also engaging with people and cultivating a sense of community. Central to my training philosophy is the understanding that successful outcomes emerge from collaborative efforts and shared experiences. I believe in the idea that educating and supporting dog owners is just as vital as instructing the dogs themselves. This philosophy of community extends far beyond the training sessions, creating a network of individuals who, like me, are deeply dedicated to the well-being of their dogs. I take great pride in being a part of this community, where we exchange knowledge, form lasting connections, and together, rejoice in the delight of having content, well-behaved dogs enriching our lives.
CONTINUING TRAINING
At the end of any Dog Board and Train program it is crucial that dog owners follow the guidance of what they have learnt in their follow up Board and Train sessions. Your dog has learnt new behaviours and patterns and to have success when they come back home, they need consistency in training techniques and commands. Without ongoing leadership and reinforcement from their owner, in time, the dog will revert to old habits. Essentially, the post-board and train training continued by the owner will serve as the bridge that guarantees a seamless shift from professional training to a content and well-behaved dog in their home.
