What is a Dog Board and Train Program?
Our board and train, (AKA Lodge & Learn) is more than just a boarding service. It’s a specialized training program that combines your pup’s stay at BARK U with professional, one-on-one training sessions tailored to their unique needs. Whether it’s mastering basic obedience, improving leash manners, or tackling specific behavioral challenges, our trainers work with your dog daily to set them up for success.
How Dog Board and Train Works
Here’s what you can expect from our Board and Train program:
- Customized Training Plan: Before your dog’s stay, we’ll consult with you to understand their specific needs, goals, and challenges. This helps us create a personalized training plan that’s just right for them.
- Daily Training Sessions: During their stay, your dog will work with our experienced trainers in focused sessions. We use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage learning in a fun and stress-free environment.
- Structured Routine: Between training sessions, your dog will enjoy supervised group play, relaxing naptime, and plenty of love and attention from the BARK U Crew. Our routine ensures they’re mentally stimulated, physically active, and well-rested.
- Lodging Options: Your pup will stay in our Puppy Lounge or Premium Suite, depending on age and program enrollment, ensuring a comfortable and restful environment after a day of learning and fun.
- Post-Stay Guidance: When it’s time for your dog to head home, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive report and instructions to continue their progress. We’ll also schedule a private training follow-up session to ensure a smooth transition from training to home life.
