🐾 In-Home Training vs. Board & Train — Which is Right for You? 🐾
When it comes to dog training, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Both In-Home Lessons and Board & Train Programs have unique benefits — here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide what fits your family best:
🏡 In-Home Training Pros:
✅ Learn alongside your dog in your real-life environment
✅ Great for building daily habits and owner handling skills
✅ Flexible scheduling with personalized attention
✅ Ideal for ongoing support and confidence building
🏡 In-Home Training Considerations:
➖ Progress depends on your consistency at home
➖ May take longer for behavior change
➖ Requires your time and involvement during sessions
🏕️ Board & Train Pros:
✅ Intensive, daily training with a professional
✅ Fast progress on foundational skills and behavior issues
✅ Structured environment with controlled socialization and enrichment
✅ Great option if your schedule limits your training time
🏕️ Board & Train Considerations:
➖ Training transfer to home still requires owner follow-up
➖ Your dog will be away from home temporarily
➖ Not a “quick fix” — ongoing owner involvement is key to lasting results
At Model Paws Dog Training, we offer both options because every dog — and every family — is different. Whether you want hands-on coaching at home or a head start with a board & train program, we’re here to help you succeed.
