Unlock an Amazing Life with Your Dog:
No Time for Training? No Problem!
Welcome to our Board and Train Programs, the perfect fix for busy humans and their canine companions!
If the idea of teaching your dog the basics sounds about as easy as herding cats, you're in the right place. We are here to take the leash and get the job done teaching everything from "sit" to "come away from that squirrel" while you catch up on... well, everything else.
Ideal for those lacking time, patience, or a magic dog-whispering wand, our programs transform even the most spirited pup into a model citizen.
So, let us do the heavy lifting, and come back to a dog who's well-behaved and harmonious. Ready for a dog that is easy to live with and listens more than the average teenager? Let's get started!

Are you sceptical or worried about sending your dog away for training? Will he/she be okay? How is the training done? What method is used? Who does the actual training? Where/how will the dog live? We totally understand where you're coming from as we hate the thought of sending our own dogs anywhere! We hope this will ease your mind a little:
- Your dog will be okay, although it normally takes a day or two for them to adjust to the new place, the people and the new routines. Some dogs refuse to eat in the very beginning, but this always resolves itself. Some dogs are a little out of their comfort zone the first few days, but with the activities and fun training most dogs adjust and normalise very quickly.
- Training is done in several short sessions throughout every day and in several different environments. We typically get good basic skills going in "home environment' first and then expand as the dog gets more skilled and the training gets more advanced.
- Whatever dog we train, be it for police, military, or civilians, training always starts out with teaching the dog fundamental, basic exercises. This is most efficiently done with purely positive techniques and we keep this up throughout the training. Only when the dog demonstrates solid skills in different environments do we introduce "consequences for the wrong behaviour". We do NOT use suppression in any way, shape or form. We do NOT promise that you can walk your dog off leash everywhere after two weeks of training simply because we don't make your dog afraid to leave your side with e-collar stimulation. Our training is geared towards your dog being happy, confident and wanting & willing to listen to you with it's spirit intact and thriving.
- The dog is trained by either Tazzie or Armin. We don't farm the training out to high-school students that have been through a weekend course and is now "dog trainers". This ensures that we won't become millionaires like the big franchise owners in the industry, but your dog will get quality training and we will sleep well at night.
- The dog will live either in our house or in our little private, cosy kennel. Younger dogs will typically live in the house for crate training, learning to behave around the house and to introduce and reinforce general structure to their young lives. Older dogs will live in the kennel when not being actively trained as the "boot camp" structure can be very beneficial to their overall training experience. The training is mentally and physically challenging for the dogs and we want them in an environment with very little stimuli in which they can completely turn off in between sessions. The dog will be walked to do it's business three times a day in addition to the training sessions, either on leash, off leash in our massive, fenced in yard or off leash anywhere once the level of training allows that.
