What is board and train, and is it worth it?
Board and train means your dog stays with our professional trainers for 2-4 weeks and receives intensive daily training. It's perfect for busy Bushland professionals, serious behavior issues, or when you need fast, guaranteed results without weekly time commitments. Is it worth it? Our clients overwhelmingly say yes.
