BOARD & TRAIN
An evaluation is required before beginning a Boarding & Training program*
We do not use adverse tools such as prong and e-collars in our training.
Our Board & Train program is 24/7 hands-on training with our trainers—both dogs and humans—for your dog. The Boarding & Training program allows us to fully immerse unruly dogs into a world of structure, consistency, and purpose. Every Board & Train program is custom designed for each individual dog and owner’s goals, but generally dogs will learn to walk on and off leash, behave indoors/outdoors, be desensitized to nail trims, respect boundaries, recall on demand with distractions, and acquire basic obedience through both vocal and hand signals in a minimum of 1 week.
Dogs are our life.
When an untrained owner and a misunderstood dog try to work together, it often leads to confusion and frustration, which can impede or even halt training progress. Our Board and Train program is designed to be efficient and positive, without relying on adverse tools. By creating a consistently positive training environment, we ensure every moment contributes to your dog's development.
Dogs benefit from both human guidance and interaction with other canine teachers. As observational learners, dogs mimic behaviors they see in order to gain rewards. The Dogmata Pack helps accelerate training by exemplifying positive behaviors. When every dog in our pack respects boundaries, dogs who are accustomed to bolting through doorways will naturally adopt the group's behavior, learning to respect thresholds and modifying unwanted habits organically.

ADOLESCENT PROGRAM
(dogs between 5 and 10 months)
requirements:
-neutered/spayed*
*females may go through 1st heat
-Rabies
-DHPP
-Bordetella
By 5 months old, a puppy’s brain is as matured as a physically adult dog’s. Any problematic behaviors are fully learned and require consistent counter conditioning in combination with a fulfilling lifestyle to rehabilitate. This program includes:
mastering the walk
kennel training
basic obedience (indoors & outdoors, on leash)
rehabilitation of dominance, fear, stress, and/or anxiety
counter conditioning of negative behaviors
socialization within a balanced pack
Requires a minimum stay of one week (7 nights)
$80.00 per night**
ADULT PROGRAM
(for dogs 11 months and older):
requirements:
-neutered/spayed
females may go through 1st heat
-Rabies
-DHPP
-Bordetella
The adage “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is only true when the human is unwilling to learn “new tricks”. At this age, negative behaviors are fully reinforced and successful counter conditioning requires consistent discipline (from both human and dog), along with patience. This canine boot camp will establish and reinforce:
mastering the walk
kennel training
basic obedience (indoors & outdoors, on & off leash)
rehabilitation of dominance, fear, stress, and/or anxiety
counter conditioning of reinforced negative behaviors
socialization within a balanced pack
Requires a minimum stay of one week (7 nights)
$90.00 per night**
**These are starting rates. Board & Train per night cost is dependent on variables such as age, aggression, fear, type of rehabilitation required, etc.
Pick up is always in the early morning to allow for ample time to go over what has been learned and how to continue to reinforce the behavior at home. Training sessions, behavior conditioning, socialization, and more that occur during the program may be recorded.
*A Board & Train Program must begin within two weeks after the evaluation.
