Why Board & Train
Foundations Built Properly.
Trainer-Led, Start to Finish
Your dog stays with me throughout the program — the same person training protection dogs and working with handlers daily. Expert hands, not just watching hands.
Board & Train is an intensive, immersive option for owners who want reliable results in a focused window of time. Your dog lives and trains with me, working through structured sessions every day in a consistent, distraction-managed environment.
That consistency is what makes the difference. Behaviours are built, repeated, and proofed properly, so by the time your dog comes home, the foundations are solid and dependable, not half-formed. For dogs that need more personalised attention, 1-on-1 dog training can also provide focused guidance tailored to their individual needs.
And the work doesn’t end at pick-up. Every program finishes with full handover support, so you know exactly how to maintain what your dog has learned in your own home and daily routine. Continued dog day care can also provide opportunities to reinforce good habits, engagement, and structured behaviour in a controlled environment.
What's Included
The Program
An intensive stay focused on building real, reliable behaviour — then making sure it transfers to you and your home.
01
Intensive Daily Training
Structured, consistent sessions every day in a controlled environment, building foundations far faster than weekly lessons allow.
02
Reliable Behaviours
Obedience and manners are trained, repeated, and proofed properly, so they hold up under real-world distraction, not just in a quiet room.
03
Full Handover Support
You’re shown exactly how to maintain your dog’s training at home, with clear guidance so the results carry over into everyday life.
How It Works
From Drop-Off to Handover.
A clear, simple path: your dog arrives, trains intensively with me, then comes home with everything you need to keep the momentum going.
Option 01
Drop-Off & Settle
Your dog settles into the environment and we establish a baseline, identifying exactly what we’re building from.
Option 02
Intensive Training
Daily structured sessions build solid foundations and reliable behaviours through consistency and proper repetition.
Option 03
Handover & Support
Your dog comes home and you’re walked through how to maintain the training, with ongoing support to keep it on track.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Board & Train program last?
The length depends on your dog’s individual needs and training goals, and is discussed upfront so you know exactly what to expect before your dog begins the program.
Where does my dog stay during Board & Train?
Your dog stays directly with Raj throughout the program, not in a kennel facility with rotating staff, ensuring consistent, trainer-led supervision and training from day one to handover.
What happens when my dog comes home?
Every program ends with full handover support. You’re walked through exactly how the training was built and how to maintain it in your own home, so the results carry over into everyday life rather than fading once your dog leaves our care.
Will my dog's training hold up in real-world situations, not just at the facility?
Yes. Behaviours are trained, repeated, and proofed under consistent daily structure, specifically so they hold up under real-world distraction, not just in a quiet, controlled environment.
Is Board & Train suitable for puppies as well as adult dogs?
Board & Train works well for dogs at different life stages, though the right fit depends on your individual dog. This is discussed as part of your initial consultation to determine whether Board & Train or another program, such as 1-2-1 Training, is the better starting point.
How is Board & Train different from 1-2-1 Training?
1-2-1 Training involves weekly sessions where you’re actively involved throughout, while Board & Train is a more intensive option where your dog trains daily in a focused, immersive environment before returning home with full handover guidance, ideal for owners wanting faster, hands-off results.
Who is training my dog during the program?
Raj personally trains every dog in the Board & Train program, the same trainer working with protection dogs and 1-2-1 clients daily, so your dog receives the same standard of expert, hands-on attention throughout.
How do I know if Board & Train is right for my dog?
Availability is limited to keep every program genuinely focused, so the best next step is getting in touch to discuss your dog’s specific behaviour, your goals, and whether Board & Train is the right fit before booking.
