The Board Hound’s Private Training is flexible and customizable, offering on-site and in-home options to accommodate any and all training needs. Our training philosophy always starts with building a strong and healthy relationship with your dog, which improves the training experience for pups and their humans. The Board Hound only trains using fear-free, science-based, and humane training methodology. The Board Hound will never use training methods or tools that involve fear, force, pain, or compulsion.
Your initial private training session includes an initial consult to meet you and your pup, discuss training goals, and establish an initial training plan. After the initial session, your trainer will follow up with you to detail the training plan, provide resources, homework, and next steps.

Since safety is our first priority, we start with providing a high staff to dog ratio of about 1 to 10. This personalization ensures that your dog is always closely monitored.
