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.

Your dog boards with a professional trainer for two weeks, practicing sit, down, loose-leash walking, on-leash heel in public, come, place, no, greeting manners, and door manners. Training includes an introduction to play and practice around distractions. An e-collar and leash are included. Off-leash recall is included when applicable.

This program includes three weeks of boarding and three one-hour sessions: two before boarding and one two weeks afterward. Dogs must be muzzle trained before boarding. Muzzle training instruction is included; owners must purchase a properly fitted muzzle separately.

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++”
