Board and Train
Board and Train
Our Board and Train program is an intensive training experience where your dog lives with us for a predetermined period. During their stay, they receive personalized attention, daily training sessions, socialization, and care in a safe and controlled environment. This program is ideal for busy dog owners who want to see significant improvements in their dog’s behavior without the time commitment of daily training.
Foundation Program (2 Weeks)
Building a Strong Canine Connection in Just 2 Weeks!
What's Included in our Obedience Toolbox:
Recall (Come When Called):
Teach your dog to respond promptly and reliably to your call, ensuring their safety and your peace of mind.
'Heel' Command on Leash:
Teach your dog to respond promptly and reliably to your call, ensuring their safety and your peace of mind.
'Sit' with an Implied Stay:
Achieve a well-mannered dog who can sit and stay on command, making everyday situations more manageable.
Door Way Management:
A critical skill that teaches your dog the importance of self-control and patience at doorways. Your dog will learn to calmly sit and await your command before entering or exiting any threshold. This not only prevents the risk of your dog dashing out uncontrollably but also reinforces respectful obedience and safety.
'Leave It' Command:
Keep your pup safe by teaching them to resist the urge to pick up or interact with potentially harmful objects.
'Place' Command:
Send your dog to an elevated surface, and watch as they stay in place until released on command. This skill provides a structured and calm environment for both you and your dog.
Preventative Behavior Module:
Within this specialized module, we address the common behavioral challenges that many dog owners face, challenges that, without proper guidance, can turn into persistent issues. It's an essential truth that most dogs exhibit behaviors such as jumping on people, barking for attention, excessive licking, and whining until yet taught the more desirable alternatives.

Signs Your Dog is Ready for Training
Every dog can benefit from training, and it can sometimes be a lifelong pursuit. If you’re wondering if training is right for you, here are some signs your dog is ready for training:
Your Dog is Destructive:
Whether it’s chewing on furniture or shoes, going to the bathroom in your house, or anything else your dog is not supposed to do -- it’s time to get them trained out of these sorts of behaviors. Even older dogs who were previously well-behaved may develop bad habits later in life and need a training refresher.
Your Dog is Aggressive:
Aggression can manifest itself in multiple ways; perhaps your dog growls or snaps at you when you get close to his or her food, or toys. Even more concerning is when your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or humans. Yes, sometimes dogs play in a way that seems aggressive, but if your dog is lunging at or snapping at people or other dogs while you’re on walks, it’s time to get a trainer’s help.
Your Dog Misbehaves on Their Leash:
Walking nicely on a leash does not come naturally to most dogs but it is something that can be learned. Again, even older dogs who previously walked well on a leash may start to act out.
Your Dog is Anxious or Fearful:
If your dog is dealing with severe separation anxiety, or is fearful in new environments, a trainer can help. For separation anxiety a trainer will work with you and your dog on a routine to reassure your dog. General training, especially in group classes, can help dogs build confidence.
Your Dog Ignores You at the Park:
Or on walks, or whenever you’re outside. If your dog is obedient when they’re in your home, but loses their mind outside, he or she would benefit from more training. Group classes can be especially helpful because they put your dog in a safe environment with the kinds of distractions you experience outside. Training your dog in situations where there are other distractions helps them learn to obey even when there are other stimulating sights and sounds.

Katherine Vickers2025-07-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience at Precision, I did the 5 week course with my 10 month old newly adopted Cane Corso APBT mix. We worked with trainer Riley, and she was fantastic, was so patient and made every lesson fun and engaging. Training is priced well and I felt that it was fair for the amount on one on one learning we received. I will be enrolling my older dog in lessons to finish her obedience work, as well as enrolling my pup in the group Puppy 201 classes. 10/10 highly recommended, everyone was very friendly and supportive at Precision. Elle Shaw2025-07-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Could not recommend Precision Dog training more! Keaton was an amazing trainer. He was patient and understanding and helped us with some major challenges with our rescue pup. Douglas Bailey2025-07-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our puppy Emmy had Riley as her trainer and was a completely changed puppy when she came home. Riley was an excellent trainer and was able to convey those techniques to help us on the transition home. We couldn’t recommend Riley and the staff at Precision Dog Training Academy enough. They were awesome and we will certainly be using them more in the future. James Young2025-07-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience!
