Board & Train Dog Training in Westchester, NY

Our 3-week Board & Train is designed for dogs who need a solid foundation in obedience, structure, and everyday manners. This program focuses on building clear communication, improving responsiveness, and creating reliable behavior both in and out of the home. Dogs will learn essential commands such as sit, down, place, recall, and loose-leash walking, while also working through common issues like jumping, pulling, and lack of impulse control. Training is done in real-life environments to ensure your dog can perform reliably around distractions. This program is best suited for non-aggressive dogs. For more serious behavioral concerns such as aggression or reactivity, a longer, more intensive program is required.

With additional time for repetition and proofing, this program is especially effective for owners looking to achieve higher levels of off-leash reliability.

With the extended timeframe, we are able to reinforce behaviors more thoroughly, improve responsiveness at a distance, and build the communication needed for dependable off-leash control.

Our 6-week Board & Train is a comprehensive program designed for dogs that require a higher level of structure, consistency, and behavioral transformation. With extended time for repetition, clarity, and proofing, this program allows us to address more ingrained habits while building a high level of obedience and control in real-world environments. Dogs are trained on all core commands—sit, down, place, recall, and loose-leash walking—while working through more persistent issues such as poor impulse control, overstimulation, and difficulty listening around distractions. With the additional time, we are able to push reliability further, including advanced off-leash control, distance work, and consistent follow-through in higher-pressure situations. This program is also appropriate for dogs displaying more challenging behaviors, as it allows us the time needed to properly assess, structure, and reshape behavior in a controlled environment. Owners will receive a detailed go-home session to ensure a smooth transition, along with guidance on how to maintain and continue building on their dog’s training long-term.

Designed for severe behavioral cases including aggression, extreme reactivity, or dogs that require a more in-depth rehabilitation process. This program allows us to fully address complex behaviors and create long term, reliable change.
