They offer several programs including Private Obedience Lessons for on-leash manners and everyday obedience, suitable for dogs that jump, pull, or ignore commands. The Board & Train program provides fast results with trainer support, where the dog is trained by them, and owners are coached to maintain progress.
The Board AND Train Off-Leash program is designed for bigger challenges like reactivity, aggression, or major overstimulation, or for those desiring more one-on-one help, focusing on lasting change and calm. Additionally, the Board and Train Ultimate & Perfect Puppy School is their most comprehensive program, or it can be used for early guidance for puppies under six months old.

Testimonials
“From bully to beyond better! Rough play, pulling, jumping, and testing limits — I couldn’t have found a better trainer. Train Play Live surpasses any training I’ve experienced in my lifetime of dog ownership. Can’t praise them enough!”
– Linda M.
“We faced tons of challenges with our rescue Beagle, Luigi — pulling, potty issues, zero focus. After just a few weeks in the program, we saw huge progress. We’re thrilled with the results and highly recommend Train Play Live!”
– Dr Lance and Tara Riley
“Hank was a total disaster — pulling, jumping, and overpowering us. After working with Train Play Live, he’s a completely different dog. No more leash chaos or injuries — just a well-behaved boy everyone is amazed by!”
– Stephanie Jackson
