Board & Train Programs
Our safe, effective, results-driven board and train programs take the training pressure off of you.
Board & Train
Let us do the hard work for you! Our renowned board & train program is customized to the specific needs of your dog or puppy.
By fully immersing your dog in a structured training environment, we are able to design the entire day around training sessions, broken up by rest periods, walks, and play. This allows us to maximize results in a short period of time.
What’s included?
- Customized training based on your unique training priorities for your dog
- Daily updates from your trainer, including progress videos. We keep an open line of communication with you for the entirety of your dog’s stay and after pickup.
- A one-hour transfer session with your pup and their trainer upon pickup, as well as customized follow-up materials
- A one-hour complimentary follow-up session after the board and train to ensure skills are transitioning over smoothly, conducted in your home. If you are outside of our in-home service area, the session will be conducted virtually.
- Discounted follow-up training in your home, if desired
- Free Lifetime Access to our client-only Advanced Train & Maintain group class
What sets us apart?
- Our board and train dogs are fully immersed in a structured, training-centered environment, and are also taken on training outings to public places. We offer our program out of two locations: Milton and Gainesville.
- Milton: Our Milton board and train program operates out of our beautiful, farmlike partner facility, Countryside Pet Estates. We utilize a separate “training house” on the property complete with a kitchen, living room, and a large, fenced grassy area. Our dogs have their own section of spacious, low-stress suites for overnight rest.
- Gainesville: We operate our Gainesville board and train program in a home on 5 acres in the East Gainesville area, close to Braselton and Hoschton. Dogs live and work in the home together and a trainer lives on property.
- Your dog will work with one certified, experienced trainer for the duration of their stay – Mandy Foster, Amy Derene, Delaney Harris, and Ashley Haley are our full-time board and train trainers. Abby Freeman oversees our program.
- Small numbers, ensuring safety and that training goals are met.
- Customized training – you’ll see recommendations below, but we will customize the training to meet your needs and goals. We will let you know if your specific goals are workable within our program!
- No excessive confinement and no crating. – the entire day rotates between training sessions, play, and brief rest periods as needed. Even the play breaks are professionally moderated by your trainer, and training is incorporated into the play.
- Outings to public places to advance your dog’s training
- A commitment to the use of humane training techniques (we do not use shock collars)
- Flexible payment plans now offered through Affirm!

Both setups allow us to simulate your home environment as much as possible, and minimizes stress on the dogs. We also offer a small number of board and train spots in a trainer’s home, which are reserved for young puppies and small dogs under 15 pounds.

A few guidelines:
- Due to the extent of work and duration of time required for success, cases involving reactivity or potty trainingrequire a minimum of three weeks.
- Separation anxiety or aggression cases with a bite history are not a fit for our board and train program, but we are happy to work these cases via private instruction.
- For the safety of the dogs in our care, we require that all dogs are healthy and up-to-date on all vaccines and fecal testing for their age, and they must be able to be safely crated or confined in a suite.
- We require a two-week minimum to allow us time to proof the training, but do offer shorter refreshers for existing clients.
