Three programs, one standard.

From a puppy's first foundations to off-leash reliability in public, there's a program for where your dog is now. Every one starts with an assessment, and we train dogs from right across Australia.

Every program includes

Structured routine

Training, rest, enrichment and crate confidence on a daily routine until calm is the default.

Real-world proofing

Quiet streets, busy stores, traffic and crowds. Skills that only work in the backyard don't count.

Daily reinforcement

Consistent, fair repetition every day, so new behaviour becomes the dog's normal.

Full owner handover

You're coached through the routine and the commands before your dog comes home.

How board and train works.

No mystery, no guesswork. Four clear stages from your first message to a calmer dog back at home.

  1. 01

    Enquire and assess

    Send an enquiry. We get the full picture of your dog and recommend the right program.

  2. 02

    Your dog moves in

    Your dog lives and trains with us, on a structured daily routine built around real progress.

  3. 03

    Train in the real world

    Obedience, manners and real-world outings, documented as we go so you can see the change.

  4. 04

    Handover and support

    We coach you through the whole system at handover, and we're here after your dog comes home.

Tailored to your dog

Every program starts with an assessment and a plan built for the dog in front of us, not a template.

Proof before pickup

You see the results in person at the handover lesson before your dog comes home.

Support that continues

The handover is coaching for you too, so the standard holds long after the program ends.

Setting the standard in canine training.

Straight from training days.

Real dogs, real sessions. Streets, stores, parks and backyards. This is where the standard gets built.

After the 6-week Board & Train, he's much calmer, the barking is under control, and his recall and obedience have improved dramatically. We couldn't be happier with the results.
Pam ObrienChihuahua owner
Couldn't be happier with the 6-week board and train for our GSP. He came back calmer, better behaved, and actually listened for once. Recall, lead walking, and general manners improved heaps.
Alison JonesGerman Shorthaired Pointer owner
We enrolled our Labrador in a 6-week board and train program, and the results were amazing. She's calm, obedient, and reliable off-leash.

Before you ask.

Your dog stays with us for the duration of the program and trains every day: structure, obedience, socialisation and real-world outings. Full immersion works faster than weekly lessons alone, and at the end we hand the whole system over to you.
