Free-Style board and train, 2 weeks: skills, focus and fun

Free-Style Board & Train. A fun, skill-building program for dogs with a foundation in obedience who are ready to advance their engagement, focus and confidence.

The program

2 weeks in our trainer’s home.

Our Free-Style Board & Train program is a two-week immersive training experience designed for dogs who already have a foundation in basic obedience and are ready to shine with fun, engaging skills.

This program focuses on building advanced skills such as paw, spin, twirl, weave, and center, while strengthening your dog’s focus, responsiveness, and overall engagement. Throughout their stay, your dog develops greater confidence and connection with their handler, and training remains fun and rewarding.

Every session is customized to your dog’s personality and drive, so a shy dog builds confidence at their pace and a high-drive dog gets a productive outlet for all that energy.

At the end of the program you’ll get a go-home session so you can keep building skills, and keep the engagement, at home.

Questions

About Free-Style.

Does my dog need obedience before Free-Style?

Yes. Free-Style is built for dogs who already have a foundation in basic obedience and are ready for engagement work. If your dog still pulls, jumps or ignores you outside, Gold or Platinum comes first and Free-Style makes a great second stay.

What skills are taught in Free-Style?

Paw, spin, twirl, weave and center, plus the focus and responsiveness that make them reliable. Sessions are customized to your dog’s personality and drive, so a shy dog builds confidence and a high-drive dog gets a real outlet.

Is Free-Style good for a bored or anxious dog?

Often, yes. Mental work tires a dog in a way a walk does not, and a dog with a job is calmer at home. Free-Style gives an intelligent, under-stimulated dog something to think about and a stronger connection with you.

Where does my dog stay during a board and train?

In our trainer’s home in Cypress, not a warehouse or kennel. That in-home environment is the point: real-world training in everyday settings, so the results transfer to your home.

Will I hear from you while my dog is away?

Yes. Professional photo and video updates go out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so you see the progress as it happens.
