What is Boarding with Training?
Dog training boarding, also known as a boarding with “training retreat,” is a specialized program where your dog stays with a professional trainer for an extended period to receive intensive, hands-on training. This is an excellent solution for busy professionals, families, or anyone looking for an expert-led approach to obedience, behavioral improvement, and socialization.
At Happy With Dogs, we offer personalized, in-home boarding with training retreats that ensure your dog gets individualized attention while living in a trainer’s home, rather than a large facility.
Benefits of Boarding and Training
- Accelerated Learning – Your dog gets consistent, professional training every day, ensuring faster progress.
- Customized Approach – Training plans are tailored to your dog’s unique personality, behavior, and needs.
- Real-Life Socialization – Dogs practice manners in real-world settings, from coffee shops to crowded sidewalks.
- Lasting Behavioral Improvements – Focus areas include leash walking, recall, impulse control, and confidence-building.
- Convenience for Owners – No need to dedicate hours every day to training—our experts do the heavy lifting for you!
Our Boarding and Training Programs
At Happy With Dogs, we offer three levels of training retreats:
- Courteous Canines (1-Week Program) – Foundation skills like sit, down, place, stay, and leash walking.
- Happening Hounds (2-Week Program) – Adds field trips to practice manners in public spaces with distractions.
- Dynamite Dogs (3-Week Program) – Focuses on off-leash reliability, recall, and advanced obedience.

What Can You Expect From a Training Retreat?
Your dog will live in a trainer’s home, following a structured daily routine that includes:
- Morning and evening potty breaks
- Daily training sessions tailored to their goals
- Socialization opportunities with other dogs and people
- Enrichment activities like sniff walks and puzzle toys
- Rest periods to avoid burnout
You’ll receive weekly progress updates, video tutorials, and personalized send-home lessons to ensure you can reinforce the training at home.
