Board & Train


What is a

Board & Train?

Our Board & Train programs range from 2-3 weeks in length. When learning new habits and behaviors, dogs need consistency. This can be hard to do at home and achieve the desired results. Our Board and Train programs are designed for dogs 6 months of age and older. It allows our team to spend ample time with your dog to give them the structure and consistent training they need to be successful.

Lake Park Paws Training Program Benefits

Our Board & Train program stands out by blending engaging training with structured play sessions throughout the day. This will keep your dog entertained and eager to learn. Our goal is to foster a deep bond with your dog so they enjoy working with us as much as we enjoy working with them. Unlike at-home training, where dogs may lack the exposure needed to master new concepts and adapt to new environments, our program offers supervised socialization, play, and a balanced training method with personalized focus in both private and group settings, plus off-location practice in real-world scenarios. This ensures lasting results tailored to your dog’s personality. This builds a more obedient, confident pup who can communicate clearly with you and perform reliably anywhere, as long as the training is maintained at home and beyond.

Before your dog goes home, you will receive a private training session to ensure you as the owner leave with the proper tools & techniques to set your dog up for success.

During future boarding stays any Lake Park Paws trained dogs will receive complimentary refresher training throughout their stay as time permits.
