Whether it’s a shortage of free time, or a feeling of not knowing where to begin; working with problem behaviours can be a really difficult and timely process. As dogs are creatures of habit, the home environment and it’s routines can inadvertently create and compound problem behaviours.

Moving a dog from their typical environment and submerging them into a new world of structure and routine can act like ‘pushing the reset button’ on their behaviour. And, when you’re trying to make big changes yourself at home, it can be difficult to break the bad habits and get the exposure needed for a balanced and stable dog.

However, transitioning a dog from their usual surroundings to a structured residential board and train program can serve as a “reset button” for their behavior. This change of environment provides the opportunity for dogs to learn new habits and behaviors effectively. While trying to enact significant changes at home, breaking bad habits can be challenging without the necessary exposure to balanced and stable environments.

Our residential board & train programmes are designed to provide dogs with structure and understanding, new experiences in both public and private settings, reliable obedience and communication skills, and to ensure those new skills are transferrable to their owners moving forwards. 

Accepted applications onto our board and train programmes are assigned to one of our dedicated trainers for the duration of their stay, and their bespoke training programme implemented throughout. Regular updates are provided about their stay and all dogs are treated as our own, in a safe, secure, and friendly environment.
