Board & Train

Need a serious jumpstart? Our board and train program is designed for dogs who need structure, consistency, and skilled handling to overcome tough behavior issues.

Your dog stays in a safe, distraction-free environment where training is the focus- and you get detailed updates, homework, and follow-up support when they return home.

Your Dog Is Family Here

When your dog stays with SK9, they’re not just another number in a crowded facility.
There’s no need to stress about who’s caring for your dog or whether they’re kenneled in a room full of barking strangers. With our board and train program, your dog lives in my home- not a kennel.

They receive the same daily care, structure, and attention as my own personal dogs, in a calm, family environment. Training happens in real life, with 24/7 supervision, and every detail tailored to your dog’s individual needs.

Clarity & Consistency

Board and Train offers a level of structure and consistency that’s hard to match in a busy household.
Your dog learns directly from me- a professional trainer- in a focused, distraction-free environment where every interaction reinforces the training. This allows for faster progress, clearer communication, and fewer mixed signals.

Instead of trying to learn and teach at the same time, you’ll get a dog who already understands the rules- and I’ll coach you on how to keep that progress going at home.

Ongoing Support

Training doesn’t end when your dog goes home, and neither does my support.
Throughout the board and train, you'll get regular updates, personalized lesson plans, and video demonstrations- all shared in your own private Facebook group created just for you. You’ll see your dog’s progress in real time and have access to extra resources along the way.

And long after your program ends, I’m still in your corner. All SK9 clients receive lifetime support- both in person and virtually, because real training is an ongoing journey, and you’ll never have to walk it alone.

Investing In Your Dog's Success

You deserve to experience the freedom to include your dog in the life you love.
