Board & Train Programs

Want faster progress and a full reset? Board & Train is an immersive option where your dog stays in training and returns home with solid obedience and structure.

Great for families who want:

  • A stronger foundation quickly
  • Better reliability around distractions
  • More consistent follow-through on commands

Private Dog Training Lessons

Private lessons are ideal if you want hands-on coaching and a step-by-step plan you can practice between sessions. This is a great fit for:

  • Puppies building foundations
  • Adult dogs who need structure
  • Dogs who listen “sometimes” but not consistently

In-Home Dog Training Lessons

Prefer training at home where problems actually happen? In-home sessions help tackle real-life challenges like:

  • Door behavior and jumping
  • Pulling right out of the driveway
  • Overexcitement with guests
  • Listening when the environment is familiar (and tempting)

Common Issues We Help With

Every dog is different, but Glen Allen families commonly reach out for help with:

  • Pulling on leash
  • Not coming when called
  • Jumping on people
  • Overexcitement and impulse control issues
  • Reactivity around dogs or people
  • Ignoring commands outside the home
  • Chaos during visitors, deliveries, or doorbell triggers

Essential Commands Your Dog Will Learn

A strong training foundation is built on practical, everyday commands that improve safety and control.

  • Come: Reliable recall when it matters
  • Sit: Calm control in daily routines
  • Down: More stability and impulse control
  • Place: A clear “home base” for calm behavior
  • Heel / Loose Leash Walking: Better walks without constant pulling
  • Stay / Wait: Safer doorways, thresholds, and real-life patience
  • Off: Stops jumping and unwanted behaviors

Our Proven Training Process

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I see results?

Many owners notice meaningful improvements early once structure and consistency are in place. The exact timeline depends on your dog’s age, history, and how well the household follows the plan between sessions.

Do you train puppies in Glen Allen?

Yes. Puppy training is one of the best ways to prevent future behavior issues by building obedience, structure, and good habits early.

Can you help with pulling and reactivity on walks?

Yes. Leash manners and real-world behavior are common goals. We focus on practical control so walks feel calm and predictable again.

What if my dog only listens at home?

That’s extremely common. Training should work in real life, not just in the kitchen. We build reliability by teaching your dog to respond through distractions and new environments.
