Sled & Breakfast Dog Daycare, Boarding, Training, & Grooming

Sled & Breakfast offers stay-and-train dog training services, including private lessons and group classes. The first step for training is an initial evaluation to create a custom training program tailored to the dog’s individual needs.

During board-and-train programs, dogs participate in play groups and receive one-on-one training sessions with trainers throughout the day. A 10-day obedience program (Monday-Friday) is available to work on basic commands and specific behavior issues. Group classes meet for one hour weekly over six weeks.

The training philosophy prioritizes the dog’s needs, ensuring a safe and fun learning environment without forcing dogs into uncomfortable situations. Training focuses on clear communication and positive reinforcement, with other methods discussed and customized if needed. Training is available for puppies and older dogs, emphasizing that it’s an ongoing skill set, and guidance is provided for owners to maintain training at home.
