Learn how a board and train program works, what your dog can learn, and why it’s one of the most effective ways to improve behavior.
If your dog struggles with leash pulling, jumping, barking, or simply not listening, you’re not alone. Many pet owners find it challenging to train consistently or address behavior issues effectively at home. That’s where a Board and Train program comes in.
At Pinnacle K9, we offer structured, results-driven board and train packages designed to help your dog build better habits—while giving you peace of mind.
What Is a Board and Train Program?
A board and train program is a professional dog training service where your dog stays at a dedicated facility (like ours in Black Forest, Colorado) for an extended period—usually 2–4 weeks or more.
During this time, your dog receives:
- Daily structured training sessions
- Socialization with other dogs (when appropriate)
- Rest and routine
- One-on-one time with experienced trainers
Our most popular package starts at $3,000 and includes everything your dog needs to learn, grow, and return home better behaved.
What Can Your Dog Learn?
Every dog is different, but our training typically focuses on:
- Basic obedience (sit, stay, come, place, heel)
- Leash manners
- Impulse control
- Crate training
- Reducing problem behaviors (barking, jumping, etc.)
We use balanced, science-backed methods that prioritize your dog’s safety and long-term success.
Why Board and Train Works So Well
Board and train is effective because it gives your dog:
- Consistent, daily training from professionals
- Fewer distractions than at home
- A reset from bad habits
- Proper guidance in new environments
It’s also helpful for owners who may not have the time, knowledge, or ability to train consistently.
Owner Coaching Is Included
We don’t just train your dog—we coach you too. When your dog completes the program, we’ll walk you through everything they’ve learned so you can confidently continue training at home.
Our goal is long-term results that stick.
Is Board and Train Right for You?
Board and train is ideal if:
- You have a busy schedule
- Your dog has behavioral issues
- You want faster, more consistent progress
- You want a trained dog but need help getting there
Final Thoughts
Your dog deserves a strong foundation—and you deserve peace of mind. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional solution to improve your dog’s behavior, our board and train program may be the perfect fit.
