BOARDED TRAINING
A transformational and vital program for your dog and entire family.
Man’s Best Friend’s 30 day Board & Train builds a solid foundation of obedience through leadership and consistency.
“Best dog trainer ever! OUR DOG had a ton of energy and after BOARDED TRAINING AT MAN’S BEST FRIEND she was a new dog. Our family now has the tools we need to be the best family for our pup!”
Many “dog families” have been ‘saved’ from the training, education and insight provided by Man’s Best Friend… the result: a balanced, respectful, obedient and HAPPY dog.
By allowing us the time to train your dog in-house, we are able to build a solid foundation of obedience. This makes it much easier for you to maintain at home.
Everything we do is about pack order and leadership. We work to create balance for your dog from the inside out. Our program helps with a variety of behavior issues.

Jumping
Running away/ bolting
Barking
Digging
Mouthing, nipping and play biting
Getting in the trash/counter surfing
Destructive Behavior
Aggression, dog/human

Eliminate disrespectful/destructive behavior
WHY OUR METHOD OF TRAINING WORKS
Everything we do is about pack order and leadership
A puppies’ mother ‘pack leader’ begins training and establishing boundaries from birth. Puppies learn to wait for their food, how far they can venture off and other limitations. Adult dogs need these same boundaries and rules from their owners, pack leaders, YOU, when dog training.
EXAMPLES of our methods
HERE COMMAND
We provide a formal “Here” command that will first allow you to SAFELY recall your dog in the instance your dog may escape out of your front door, your car or fence. You can take it a step further and allow your dog to be off leash and enjoy safe environments like running on the beach, in a park or the woods and more. Enjoy and make what almost the every pet owner dreams of a reality.
DOWN COMMAND
We provide a formal “Down” command that is so much more than your dog simply having his belly on the floor. A formal down command is one of the most therapeutic, functional commands that allows your dog to be invited into every social gathering you may think of. The “down” command is a tremendous tool to use during family dinners, when family and or guests enters the home, children sporting events, any and all instances you would like your dog to be calm and controlled. It is literally an “off” button.
WALKING
Walk multiple dogs, with other dogs or distractions. A proper “Walk” is foundationally imperative for a balanced, enjoyable relationship with your dog. The “walk” is a leadership activity, a pack activity, a mental activity and a physical activity. A proper “walk” for the dog is a structured activity that has multiple benefits for the human/dog relationship. Your dog will ignore other people and dogs while following you at your own pace.

The master trainers at Mans Best Friend collectively have over 50 years of experience helping your dog reach its greatest potential.
The boarded training program is a structured 30 day program centered around pack order and leadership.
