Board and Train
One of our most popular services is our Board and Trains, in which dogs stay with trainers in their homes for several weeks in immersive environments.
Our board and trains differ from other dog training companies in a few key areas:
- All the dogs live in the home with our trainers.
- The dogs are integrated into our own families, their lives, and their pets.
- The dogs are treated as members of the family.
- No separate, sterile facilities where dogs are trained in empty rooms. Instead, we work on real world training in the real world.
- We work on house manners, leash walking out in the neighborhood, manners out in public, interactions with other dogs and pets, and more.
- Unlimited follow-ups lessons for life!
Our Commitment to You
As a pet owner, you remain involved in the entire process. Our trainers will send you daily pictures, videos, and updates to keep you up to date on your dog's progress.
A key differentiator that separates Controlled K9 from other dog training companies is that our Board and Trains include unlimited private lessons after the program is complete. That’s right! We include unlimited private follow-up lessons at no additional cost! We’re so confident that our Board and Train programs will work the first time that we’re willing to offer private lessons at no extra cost for life. Should you ever need to take advantage of them, we’ll happily honor that promise. At Controlled K9, we train dogs for success. Our programs will set your dog up to thrive for the rest of their lives.

They’ll return to you happy and ready to tackle the world ahead of them. What more could you ask for?
At Controlled K9, we take on the challenges other dog trainers won’t—from reactivity and aggression to anxiety and fear-based issues. They’ll also gain the confidence and impded to become a well-mannered member of your family.

James is excellent! He trained our Australian Shepherd as a service dog for a medically needed task. James is extremely knowledgeable and professional. From our first consultation, I knew James would be able to achieve our goal that we needed with our pup. Most importantly, he took excellent care of our dog. Cannot recommend enough!
