  • Board and Train | Obedience, Puppy Training & Behavior Modification

    Our Board and Train is located in Casa Grande, Arizona and our most popular dog training program! With our custom tailored Board and Train, your dog lives in the Head Trainer’s home for 3–8 weeks of daily, personalized training. This is the best option for busy families who want fast, reliable results.
    We specialize in:

    • Puppy Starting – potty training, crate training, nipping, and manners.

    • Obedience Training – sit, down, place, recall, loose-leash walking, and off-leash reliability.

    • Behavior Modification – reactivity, fear, anxiety, aggression, and problem behaviors.

    Your dog learns in real-world environments, not just a kennel environment, so training transfers easily to home life. At graduation, you’ll receive hands-on lessons to ensure your dog listens to you, not just the trainer.

    👉 Perfect for: new puppies, unruly adolescents, fearful or reactive dogs, and families who want a fully trained companion.
