Boarding
Our boarding is intentionally small and home-based so each dog staying with us receives individual attention, structure, and care throughout their stay.
We limit boarding to two client dogs at a time and recommend reaching out in advance, especially for holidays and busier travel dates.
We have several crate options available depending on the individual dog, including Ruffland kennels and heavy-duty steel crates for dogs who need additional security. Crates are set up inside our temperature-controlled home and are used for safe rest and downtime throughout the day.
If your dog needs to travel with us during their stay, they are transported securely in a Variocage crash-tested crate.
All boarding drop-offs and pick-ups are arranged directly with you. We do not currently offer transportation or pick-up services for boarding dogs.
Boarding Rates
One Dog
$80 per night
Two Dogs From the Same Household
$80 per night for the first dog
$65 per night for the second dog
Medications
A $20 nightly medication fee may apply for dogs requiring hands-on medication administration. This fee is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may be waived when appropriate.
Because boarding space is limited, we recommend reaching out as early as possible to check availability, especially for holidays and busier travel dates.
Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice are subject to a 50% cancellation fee.

Bodhi and Nico know how to make the most of their stays with us.
Their days include plenty of time to relax, explore the yard, soak up attention, and enjoy activities that fit their individual needs. Sometimes that means running around outside, getting in a steady treadmill workout, enjoying a pup cup, or simply finding a sunny spot and taking a nap.
Boarding looks a little different for every dog. Our goal is to give each guest a safe, comfortable stay with the right balance of activity, structure, rest, and plenty of attention along the way.
Board & Train
Our Board & Train program gives us dedicated time to work with your dog through daily training, structure, real-world practice, and individualized care while they stay with us.
Every dog comes in with different needs and goals, so the program is built around the dog in front of us. We may work on foundational obedience, leash skills, impulse control, confidence, reactivity, household behaviors, reliability, or other areas that are important to you and your dog.
Board & Train is not about handing us your dog and getting back a finished product. The work we do during their stay builds the foundation, but your involvement is an important part of making that progress carry over once your dog comes home.
Program Details
2-Week Board & Train: $2,750
$1,500 for the first week + $1,250 for the second week
Additional Weeks: $1,250 per week
Minimum Stay: 2 weeks
Is This Right for Your Dog?
Our Board & Train program is designed for puppies building foundational skills as well as dogs working through specific behavioral concerns.
Through focused, hands-on training and clear structure, we work to build practical skills and make sure you have the knowledge and tools needed to continue that progress at home.
What’s Included
Daily Individualized Training
Your dog receives focused training each day based on their needs, goals, and the areas we are working to improve.
Mid-Program Owner Session
During a two-week Board & Train, you’ll meet with us midway through the program so we can show you what your dog is learning, teach you the techniques we are using, and give you a chance to practice with your dog before they come home.
2-Hour Go-Home Session
At the end of the program, we’ll spend approximately two hours working with you and your dog. We’ll review the training, demonstrate the skills your dog has learned, have you practice them yourself, and answer your questions before you leave.
Written Go-Home Notes
After the program, you’ll receive a detailed written follow-up covering what we worked on, the tools and techniques used, and what you should continue practicing at home.
Ongoing Support
Board & Train does not end the moment your dog goes home. We remain available for questions and guidance as you work on transferring the training into everyday life.
Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice are subject to a 50% cancellation fee.

Apollo came to us for a two-week Board & Train with several areas his family wanted help with, including possessiveness around food and toys, leash pulling, reactivity to movement, impulse control, handling, and everyday obedience.
Throughout his stay, we worked on clearer communication, structure, leash skills, impulse control, handling, and building more reliable responses around the situations that had previously been difficult for him.
Apollo also had opportunities to practice those skills outside of the house through real-world outings, including a veterinary visit, time in public, and training around the distractions of one of our group classes.
By the end of his stay, Apollo was showing significant improvement in his leash manners, responsiveness, impulse control, handling, and his ability to remain calmer around food, toys, doors, and other everyday situations.
His family continued the work once he returned home and reported noticeable improvements, including a much calmer experience during bath time.
Board & Train gave Apollo a strong foundation, but the work did not end when he went home. Continued consistency and follow-through from his family are an important part of maintaining and building on that progress.
