Is Our Petaluma Board and Train Program Right for Your Dog?

Our dog board and train program is ideal for:

  • Puppies and adolescent dogs who need structure from the start

  • Dogs with poor impulse control or over-arousal

  • Reactivity or leash frustration

  • Dogs who need a leadership reset

  • Owners who want accelerated, immersive progress

Because this program takes place in our home, we are selective about the dogs we accept. In some cases, we may recommend Day Training instead based on safety, schedule, or behavioral needs.

But when appropriate, board and train creates powerful momentum in a short amount of time.

Not a Kennel. Not a High-Volume Facility.

Many board and train programs in the Bay Area operate out of large kennel facilities with rotating staff.

That is not what we do.

Your dog lives inside our home in Petaluma, integrated into a structured daily routine.

During their stay, your dog will:

  • Eat and sleep in a crate for decompression and clarity

  • Receive daily exercise

  • Participate in structured training sessions

  • Experience appropriate social exposure

  • Be supervised 24/7

Crate training is intentional. Structure builds calm. Routine builds confidence. Clarity builds lasting change.

We accept a limited number of board and train dogs each month to ensure individualized attention and meaningful results.

What Our Programs Provide

  • The Walk

    We help make walks enjoyable again! One of the first things we tackle with any dog is leash manners. All dogs are taught a proper heel and held accountable for any unfavorable behaviors.

  • A person holding a leash attached to a small Australian Shepherd dog standing inside near the front door, looking towards the door with sunlight streaming in.

    Polite at Thresholds

    We instill pausing at thresholds and waiting for permission before entering/exiting. This is helps with excitability, bolting, reactivity, and so much more!

    (Thresholds = Going in/out doors, kennels, cars)

  • Two dogs lying on the floor of a clothing store surrounded by racks and mannequins dressed in workout and casual clothes.

    Outings

    We love taking dogs on field trips! Outings are a great way to put a dog’s skills to the test in social settings. Public access training is one of our specialties.

  • A black poodle puppy lying on a white mat in an outdoor parking lot on a sunny day, panting with tongue out, wearing a red collar.

    Place Command

    The place command is one of the most life-changing hacks for dog owners. Utilizing place for dogs instills discipline, self-restraint, and confidence. Not only is it a convenient training tool, but it also helps with behavioral issues.

  • Six dogs sitting on a paved street in front of flowering bushes and residential buildings, with a blue sky and some clouds in the background.

    Socialization

    We offer pack walking 5x a week. Moving as a pack brings out instinctual canine behavior, so we use this opportunity to lead and train them. Structured socialization is one the best ways for dogs to interact.

  • A happy Australian Shepherd dog with a blue eye and a brown eye lying on the sandy beach near the ocean under a clear blue sky.

    Reliable Recall

    Our expert program teaches the language of the E Collar, which helps us instill a non-negotiable recall. This means no more yelling at your dog when they aren’t listening! The E Collar opens up your dogs world to off leash freedoms.
