Board and Train Packages
An initial consultation is required prior to boarding + training to determine the best plan for you and your dog. Board and train packages that are less than 2-weeks long will typically need to be combined with a one on one training package. Training will be done on Nun’s Island, main island as well as on nearby hikes if applicable. Programs will be customized to your dog to include follow up one on one and group training. Your dog MUST BE UP TO DATE on vaccines, and current on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. Spay/neuter NOT required. All board and train packages include equipment, one-on-one sessions, lifetime email/phone support, group sessions, and detailed guidelines with videos. Places are limited to make sure your dog has all the attention he needs.
