Help us welcome our newest 4 week board and train dogs- Castiel & Molly 🐾

Cas is a 4 month-old German Shorthaired Pointer who has had a super difficult time getting the hang of potty training since his parents brought him home. Our biggest focus during his time here will be helping Cas get comfortable using the bathroom OUTSIDE, but we’ll also be spending plenty of time socializing appropriately with new people and dogs, and learning all about expectations for basic obedience skills and household manners.

Molly is a 9 month-old Wheaten Terrier here to solidify her basic obedience skills (especially her leash manners), and to address some undesirable behaviors like jumping up on people and nipping when overly excited.

Looking forward to the next month of progress for both of these guys! We have board and train openings now in Baldwin City, KS- please reach out via private message, call/text (712-579-6016), or email ([email protected]) with inquiries 💚

Welcome Mabel to our 2 week board and train program! ☀️

Mabel is a Labrador Retriever here to brush up on her basic obedience skills- we’ll be working on proofing her obedience around distractions and helping her build confidence in new situations.

So excited to get to work with Mabel!

Welcome our newest board & train dogs- Siobhan, Atlas, Modi, and Winston! 💚

Siobhan is a 1 year-old German Shepherd here for a 4 week board and train focusing on instilling some reliable basic obedience skills, proofing her off leash recall, learning about expectations for behavior in the house (especially regarding cats), and curbing some adolescent dog reactivity.

Atlas is a 1 year-old German Shorthaired Pointer also here for a 4 week board and train to address some fear-based reactivity. We’ll be focusing on helping him build confidence in his interactions with new people and working towards being much more comfortable with examinations and handling!

Modi is a 1 year-old German Shepherd- a son of Kenzie’s dog Envy, and a littermate brother to our trainer Shanna’s dog Feyre 🥹- and he’s here for a 4 week board and train program as well! We will be working on solidifying his current knowledge of basic obedience skills (focusing especially hard on leash manners) and teaching a reliable off leash recall proofed heavily around distractions.

Winston is a 4 year-old mixed breed boy here for a 2 week program! While he’s here, we’ll be focusing on building confidence in new situations, solidifying his off leash recall, and proofing his basic obedience skills around distractions.

Looking forward to all of the progress to come for this group of dogs! 🐾

Our board and train programs are designed to maximize comfort, safety, and success for every dog we work with 🫶🏼

• We are not a big box dog training company filling kennels upon kennels in a facility to maximize profit- all dogs in our programs stay in their trainer’s home with them for the duration of their board and train to allow for 24/7 care & supervision during their stay.

• We keep our programs very small (no more than 4 dogs at one time) to ensure that all dogs in our care receive the attention they deserve each day in the form of training sessions, daily exercise, and play!

• We are deeply committed to helping owners feel comfortable and involved throughout the entire board and train process- we provide consistent updates, photos/videos, and support that extends well beyond the conclusion of your dog’s board and train program.

We have spots available in both Ottawa, KS & Ankeny, IA now! Reach out for more info, or to get your pup signed up! 🐾

So excited to get to work with this boy! I do have availability remaining for 2 week board and train programs in February, with availability for 4 week programs opening up in March. Please reach out for details, and stay tuned for updates about Hank’s progress! 🐾

By now, many of us have seen recent video circulating of a client dog being severely mistreated at the hands of their trainer while enrolled in an in-home board and train program in the Kansas City area. If you haven’t seen the exact video I’m referencing, it’s likely that you’ve seen or heard of other similar situations in other areas- they happen far, far too frequently.

Owners place so much of their trust in us to care for their dogs, prioritize their wellbeing, and keep them safe (and they often invest a good amount of money in the process as well). The trainers who breach that trust not only endanger the dogs in their care, but also disadvantage the ethical trainers who DO operate with the best intentions by bringing additional scrutiny and wariness to board and train programs as a whole.

It is a PRIVILEGE to be trusted with the care & keeping of these dogs, and we are intensely dedicated to doing right by them always; if your dog needs vet care, they will always be taken straight to the vet. If your dog is having a hard time, we will always notify you immediately. If we feel like we might not be the best people to help you reach your goals, we will always tell you that without hesitation.

There are reputable board and train programs out there, and we are deeply committed to being one of them 🩶

Say hello to our January 4 week board and train dogs! ✨

Spudz is a super sweet 1 year-old German Shorthair Pointer here to solidify his basic obedience knowledge and curb the bad habit he’s developed of digging up his family’s yard.

Tilly is a 7 month-old Mini Aussie here for a behavior modification program- she is a super nervous girl who needs help building confidence and learning to cope appropriately with stress in the presence of new people and dogs. Alongside careful socialization and desensitization, we’ll also be working on establishing reliable basic obedience skills, solidifying an off leash recall, and addressing her desire to chase her family’s chickens.

Lola is a 1 year-old mixed breed girl who can be a bit of an escape artist! She’s here to work through some separation anxiety, and to learn to respect boundaries like kennels and fences. We’ll also be working to instill reliable obedience skills both on and off leash, as well as working on household manners (especially greeting people politely).

Storm is a 2 year-old German Shepherd here to work on developing some much more appropriate behavior in the house, especially when it comes to nuisance barking, jumping up on people, and learning to settle down more consistently. We’ll also be working on her on and off leash obedience skills to help her become a much more enjoyable girl overall for her family to spend time with!

Really looking forward to the next month with a great group of dogs 🩶
