Stay & Train is an immersive training experience where your dog lives, trains, and plays with us while working toward specific behavior and training goals. This program is ideal for owners who want professional guidance, consistent practice, and structured support beyond weekly lessons.
Your dog will enjoy daily walks, enrichment, play, and individualized training sessions throughout their stay. You’ll receive frequent updates via text, photos, and videos, along with instructional training videos so you can follow along and learn the exercises being taught.
When your dog returns home, we focus on setting you up for success with a 90-minute Transfer Lesson, followed by a 60-minute Follow-Up Session two to three weeks later for continued support and troubleshooting.
Stay & Train is not a quick fix, and not all goals are appropriate for this service. We’ll work with you to determine whether this program aligns with your dog’s needs and your training expectations.

Clubs
-
Big Feelings Club focuses on reducing “reactivity” or pulling, barking, lunging behaviors on leash. This program is best suited for dog-directed reactivity since attendees have the opportunity to pair with our alumni dog/handler teams for practice each week.
This program was created by clients working on “reactivity” and their generous contributions and ideas during focus groups. We’re so incredibly proud of the culture of this program and sense of community it provides to attendees.
We are now adding clients to the waitlist for this program.
