“I am so happy my family is with you!”

— Karen H., Sedona (Golden Doodles, Board & Train)

During a Board & Train, your dog stays with us in our home like a member of our family.  We take our Board & Train students in concentrated semesters, only two or three dogs at a time.  We’re not a kennel and we don’t take Sundays off or close at 5pm.

Cuddling and free time just hanging out with us are a big part of keeping your dog healthy and happy — and we enjoy it, too! ­– so, your dog will get a solid dose of loving along with ­our focused instruction.  Your dog will also spend most evenings lying on a sheepskin in the living room chewing a bone, and sunny afternoons in the shade of a Mesquite tree or accompanying us while we water the garden or take a hike around our 35 acres.  Depending on your dog’s age and fitness, Deb may even include him in her morning runs.

Life at our house is interesting, challenging, and fun.  We aren’t doing our job right unless we integrate training with everyday life and light your dog up with enthusiasm.

“Wow! The eye contact and trust is so apparent.  Thank you!”
