Board and Train
If you can't take your dog with you on vacation, don't put him in a kennel - send him to camp! In our reward-based transformational training program, he'll have fun while he learns basic obedience and good manners.
Board and Train is our most popular program. With our transformational packages your dog will live in our home 24/7 and will learn basic obedience as well as good manners. We will provide direct supervision. Your family pet will be observed, trained, and interacted with in a real home environment, so all of the issues your dog encounters in daily life will be addressed. All Board and Train programs include a meet and greet where we assess your dog beforehand and a 1-hour "train the owner" session when you pick up your best friend after his or her training.
With our 21-day program your dog should be able to pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test if you so choose to have him evaluated.

Training a dog on your own without any experience can be difficult and time consuming. Instead, let our professional dog trainer take on the challenge with our obedience one-on-one training sessions. We have the skills and knowledge necessary to help teach your dog basic commands, good manners, and more through positive training techniques. We can also assist you as a dog owner to develop a healthier and stronger bond with your dog.
Prior to enrollment in this program, we will assess your dog and develop a plan to address behavioral issues that will allow us to achieve your training goals together. In addition to any specific behavior modification goals, your dog will learn to stop the following habits:
- explosive reactions
- resource guarding
- fearful reactions and cowering
- destructive and self-harming behaviors when left alone
- pulling on walks
- counter surfing
- leash biting
- excessive barking and growling
- jumping on people
- running out the door

Private Lessons Program*
+Private Lessons Program
In our Private Lessons I will be training you to train your dog. Although I will be working with your dog part of the time, my work with your dog will be minimal. It’s very important that you follow through with the homework and put in the time and repetitions with your dog on a daily basis.
The Private Lessons are held weekly at our home in White House, TN and will be held unless there are extreme weather conditions. As with all our programs we will keep meeting until your dog has learned the commands included in the program to your satisfaction. You will be paying for results, not a certain number of sessions. But please keep in mind that you will be doing the heavy lifting/regular training sessions with your dog. Your dog will not learn the commands sufficiently unless you put in the work with him.
