Their Board and Train programs are the primary solution for obedience and behavioral issues, with various packages tailored to individual needs. After program completion, graduates can attend monthly Alumni Sessions for group training, socialization, and continued obedience work with trainers and other owners.

These sessions are conducted simultaneously with the immersive board and train course for the primary dog(s).
