Winnabow K9 Board & Train, LLC

Programs are intensive board and train services lasting 2–3 weeks, during which dogs stay in a home-based environment and receive daily, individualized training. Training focuses on obedience, reactivity, aggression, anxiety, leash manners, and recall. Owners receive daily photo and video updates. Upon completion, owners attend a 2-hour hands-on lesson to learn how to maintain training. Lifetime support is provided after graduation.

Pricing Summary

Pricing is not listed publicly; financing options are available with low monthly rates. Clients are encouraged to schedule a free consultation to discuss program costs based on their dog’s specific needs.

Policies

Visits during training are discouraged to help dogs focus and adjust. Boarding is available only for dogs who have previously completed a training program with Winnabow K9. Financing is offered to make training accessible. No cancellation policy is explicitly stated, but clients are encouraged to communicate directly with the trainer.

Winnabow K9 Board & Train, LLC is a professional dog training business based in New Bern, NC, serving eastern North Carolina. They specialize in board and train programs that address a wide range of behavioral issues including puppy training, leash pulling, reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, and recall. Their approach is balanced, meaning they use the most effective method tailored to each individual dog’s needs, combining positive reinforcement with corrections when necessary. Training occurs in a home-based facility, not a kennel, to simulate real-life environments and ensure better generalization of skills. Owners receive daily photo and video updates, and after the program, they attend a hands-on, multi-hour lesson to learn how to maintain their dog’s progress. The business also offers lifetime support for graduates and sells E-Collar Technologies equipment with expert advice and discounts. Lora, the owner and head trainer, has over three years of experience, and Morgan, a trainer with over eight years of experience, supports the team. They prioritize building trust, confidence, and a strong bond between dog and owner.

They do not offer private in-home lessons, group classes, or day training—only intensive board and train programs conducted at their facility. They also provide boarding exclusively for dogs who have completed a training program with them.

Their services are designed for dog owners seeking transformative, long-term behavior change with continuous support and personalized attention.

Accomplishments

Lora has over three years of professional training experience and has successfully trained dogs with severe behavioral issues, including aggression and reactivity. Morgan has over eight years of experience and previously worked with Lora at another training company before joining Winnabow K9 in 2024. Both are recognized by clients for their compassionate, results-driven approach and consistent communication.
