VIP board and train, 6 weeks: a finished, off-leash dog
VIP Service-Dog-Level Board & Train. Our most advanced program, for owners who want a fully finished, service-level trained dog with exceptional reliability and control.
The program
6 weeks in our trainer’s home.
Our VIP Board & Train is an elite six-week, fully immersive training experience led by our founder and lead trainer, designed for owners who want the highest level of performance, reliability, and control from their dog. This program goes far beyond basic obedience, developing service-dog-level results with precise, consistent behavior you can depend on in any environment.
Throughout their stay, your dog lives and trains with our team daily, mastering advanced leash manners, structured heel, sit and place with duration and distraction, front and center positioning, door boundaries, impulse control, and complete off-leash reliability. Every detail is intentionally built to create a calm, focused, and highly responsive dog who performs with clarity in real-world situations.
The Mini-Educator e-collar is included to ensure seamless communication and dependable results both on and off leash.
At the completion of the program, your dog is transported back home to you, where our trainer conducts an in-depth, in-home handover session to ensure a smooth and confident transition. You’ll also receive unlimited in-home private lessons and lifetime support directly with our team, giving you the guidance and clarity needed to maintain and continue advancing your dog’s training long-term.

Questions
About VIP.
Is VIP a service dog program?
VIP builds service-dog-level obedience and reliability: off-leash control, front and center positioning, long duration stays and calm under heavy distraction. It is not service dog certification or task training. Families with a medical need for a task-trained dog should work with a service dog organization.
Why is the Mini-Educator e-collar included?
Complete off-leash reliability needs clear communication at a distance. Our trainers introduce the Mini-Educator at low levels only after the dog understands each command, and teaches you to use it the same way in the in-home handover session.
What happens when the six weeks end?
Our team transports your dog home and runs an in-depth handover session in your house. Then you have unlimited in-home private lessons and lifetime support directly with our team to keep advancing the training.
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.
