“Since we had a trip coming up, we opted for the two-week board and train… We joked that he must’ve cloned her because we couldn’t believe this calm, balanced, well-behaved pup was the same Rye we’d dropped off.”

Board and Train for New Jersey, NYC, and Philadelphia Dog Owners
Board and train lets your dog live and learn with us while we do the heavy lifting. Your dog stays in our home and is treated like part of our family, not kept in a kennel. Most dogs train with us for 2 weeks. Some stay 3 or 4 weeks, depending on their goals. Clients come to us from all over New Jersey, New York City, and the Philadelphia area.
Who It’s For
Board and train works for all kinds of dogs and goals: puppies who need a strong foundation, stubborn or high-energy dogs, leash pulling and jumping, reactivity, fear, and aggression. It’s also a smart choice when you’re traveling and your dog would be boarded anyway.
How It Works
- Free, no-pressure evaluation at our place. Bring your dog to us so we can meet them, see what needs work, and decide together whether board and train is the right fit. Prefer we come to you? We can evaluate at a location of your choice for a fee based on our time.
- A custom plan and a fair price. Every dog is different, so we price after the evaluation. It isn’t fair to quote a dog we haven’t met or problems we haven’t seen.
- Drop-off at our place. Your dog settles into our home and daily routine.
- Training with updates. You’ll get texts, calls, photos, and progress videos throughout the stay.
- Pickup and handoff. We show you what your dog has learned and how to keep it going.
Need help with transport? We can pick up and drop off within our service area for an additional fee based on distance and time.
What’s Included
- Private lessons after training, at no extra charge
- Group class access for a set period, at no extra charge
- Ongoing support, so the training sticks at home
