Board & Train Camp: Not enough hours in the day? Let us work with your pet on the basics during a 2-4 week stay and let us show you what your dog is capable of with a little practice! Board & Train guests will learn the same skills as the Basic Obedience Group Class and be conditioned to perform commands with distractions. All B&T clients receive FREE follow-up classes (two 1-hour classes for the 2-Week Campers and four 1-hour classes for our 4-Week Campers) + a FREE 1-hour private lesson upon pick-up, and a FREE spa day for your pooch prior to going home! 2-Week Camp is $675 and 4-Week camp is $1,195.
