Why Board and Train is Perfect for Your Dog

Board & Train is an immersive option for owners who want structured, consistent training completed daily with a professional trainer. This format can help many dogs build clearer obedience habits in a shorter timeframe than weekly sessions, but progress varies based on your dog’s age, history, and goals.

Immersive structure

means your dog practices the same skills consistently throughout the program, which can help improve reliability faster than infrequent practice alone. Your trainer will review realistic expectations based on your dog’s needs and the specific program selected.

Our Board & Train Programs

Adult Dog Board & Train Programs

Our adult dog obedience training programs provide intensive immersion for dogs aged 8 months and older seeking reliable, real-world obedience.

The 2 Week Board & Train delivers comprehensive training where your dog boards with a Pro Trainer and masters essential commands including Sit, Down, loose leash walking, on-leash Heel in public spaces, Come, Place, No, greeting manners to prevent jumping, and door manners. This program includes an introduction to play and structured training with distractions, along with manners work like greeting behavior and door etiquette.

The Day Board & Train Program (Adult) offers intensive daily sessions where your dog trains during the day and returns home each evening, providing scheduling flexibility for pet parents who want professional foundations while remaining involved.

The Behavior Modification Board & Train spans 3 weeks of intensive training plus follow-up lessons, designed for dogs with challenging behavioral issues. This program may require a muzzle, purchased separately, for safety during behavior modification work.

Success Stories from Fort Myers Dog Owners

Rated 5 out of 5

“Off leash K9 training was great! Our dog Bentley ( 1 year old Rottweiler) went for a 3 week training. Our trainer was Dirk. He showed our boy love we couldn’t give for weeks. He took the time to meet and great with us before the 3 week training to gain trust with our dog, as well as our family. He is a different dog after his training and would highly recommend their services to anyone. It wasn’t just a 3 week program, our dog now has a personal trainer for life. Thank you Dirk!”

Crissa Mudae // Ft. Myers

“We HIGHLY recommend this business. Laurin is our trainer and is truly committed to a successful experience. Our 6 month old Malti-Poo spent 2 weeks with her and the results are remarkable. She’s still a puppy but with excellent manners and comprehension of basic commands. We welcome the opportunity to board her with Laurin when we travel. During this time she will benefit from the refresher experience Laurin will provide. I would rate our experience A++”
