Board & Train Programs
Our Board & Train Programs are a favorite among families, offering customized training plans to fit your puppy’s learning pace and your unique goals. With flexible program lengths, we ensure every pup receives the time and attention they need to succeed.
Puppies stay in their trainer’s home, experiencing personalized care and a nurturing environment that mimics real life after training. Small class sizes and thoughtfully matched groupings based on size, age, and vaccination status ensure every student thrives.
​
Using only positive reinforcement methods, we focus on building trust, confidence, and a lasting bond between you and your dog. This approach creates a strong foundation for lifelong success, emphasizing long-term results over quick fixes.
Throughout the program, we maintain open communication with regular updates, report cards, instructional videos, and one month of virtual support after graduation. Your involvement and peace of mind are a priority as we work together to achieve your training goals.
Eight-Week
Board & Train
Our most intensive Board & Train option, the Eight-Week Program is ideal for families with less time to reinforce skills or for pups needing foundational work alongside a more significant behavioral challenge (potty training at an older age, separation anxiety, etc.). While consistency remains key, the extended training time greatly reduces the risk of setbacks and ensures long-term success.
Drop-offs and Pick-ups outside of these hours may be available on a case-by-case basis with written confirmation from the Puppy Preparatory team at least 48 hours in advance. Canine Corner cannot accommodate late pick-ups, so please plan your travel and booking dates according to the hours below.
