Board and Train Programs

When it comes to your dog you want the best for them. So why not invest in the best for them?

Board and Trains are our most intensive and customizable program and are perfect for people with big goals and busy schedules!

Whether you have a new puppy you want to give a solid foundation for life or you have an overzealous pup that needs to learn some manners we are here to help!

What Sets Nerdy Dog Training Apart…

  • Monday to Friday Program- Instead of your dog staying with me the entire 2-8 weeks of their program, they stay with me Monday to Friday and go home for the weekend. This allows you to regularly see your dog and gives you the opportunity to practice their new skills in small bite size pieces. It also gives us the opportunity to troubleshoot any issues that pop-up.

  • Weekly End of Week Lessons- At the end of each week we will meet to go over what your dog learned and how to practice and follow through with their new skills. This is much easier than learn several weeks’ worth of information all at once and gives you a better understanding of what your dog is learning.

  • In-Home- Our Board and Trains are home based, meaning your dog lives in my home and is treated like one of my own dogs. They play with my dogs, cuddle on the couch, hang out in the backyard, and become one of the family! This gives them the most realistic environment for their training.
