Boarding & Training Programs
Our board and train programs are one of the most effective ways to transform your dog's behavior. Your dog lives with us at our 5-acre facility in Arlington, where they receive daily training, socialization, and structure in a home-like environment. While you go about your life, we go to work on your dog.
Dog owners from Seattle and across the greater Western Washington area regularly make the drive to our Arlington facility because of our reputation for results.
Many of our clients also take advantage of our board and train programs while they are traveling. Instead of a traditional boarding situation, your dog comes home with training and improved behavior.
Our Boarding & Training Programs
3-Week Program
Our most popular board and train program. Every 3-week program is fully customized to fit your dog's individual needs. We focus on teaching your dog to respond to practical obedience commands and to stop engaging in nuisance behaviors. Socialization with other dogs is also a key part of the program, helping your dog learn to be calm and confident around other animals.
Program includes:
- A 1 to 2 hour lesson when you pick up your dog
- 2 follow-up lessons after your dog comes home
6 Week Program
For dogs that need more time or owners who want to take their dog's training further, the 6-week program builds on the foundation of the 3-week program and focuses on more advanced obedience and off-leash reliability. This program is designed to produce a dog that is a well-mannered companion at home and responds dependably in distracting real-world environments. Like all of our programs, it is fully customized to your dog and your goals.
Program includes:
- A 1 to 2 hour lesson when you pick up your dog
- Unlimited follow-up lessons for 6 months
Board & Train Alternative- Fast Track Day Training Program
This program is similar to a board and train in that a trainer does the majority of training for the first couple of weeks with the dog. The main difference in this program is that the dog stays with you in the home rather than us boarding them. This program is often a better fit for a dog that is not a good candidate for boarding and training. You can find more information about this program by contacting us.
Need a customized boarding and training time period?
No problem. Many of our clients use our services when they need to travel and want their dog to receive training while they are away. All customized board and trains include an hour lesson on pick up. If you have a specific time period that you would like to schedule, simply contact us.
- 7 day minimum stay
- $200 per day
What Kind of Results Can I Expect After a Board and Train Program?
Every board and train is customized to your dog's needs and your goals. Results will vary depending on your dog's temperament and what you are working toward. What you can count on is that we train every dog to maximize their potential.
One thing to keep in mind: your dog's results depend partly on you. When your dog comes home, you will need to follow through with the training. Dogs who have an engaged owner after the program make the strongest long-term progress.
Will My Dog Be A Good Candidate For Boarding and Training?
We do not accept every dog into our board and train programs, and we want to be upfront about that before you invest time filling out our preenrollment form. Dogs with severe dog-to-dog aggression, fear-related behavior, separation anxiety, or significant house training issues are generally not a good fit for boarding and training. These cases are usually better handled through private lessons.
If you are not sure whether your dog qualifies or have general questions, give Corday a call before you fill out the form. She can answer your questions and let you know if board and train is the right fit. You can reach Corday at 425-221-8831.
