Board & Train Programs
SSDT’s board and train programs set your dog up for success with a trainer’s expertise. Your dog lives with a professional trainer, focusing on your dog's needs and your training goals. They become part of the pack family for day to day, hands on training to reach optimized results.
Custom tailored for you and your dog’s specific needs, we offer a few types of programs designed to help you and your dog reach your goals!
Board & train programs include training with you to transition behaviors back home. We focus on helping you understand your dog, how to properly communicate, and continue implementing what they learned.
The first step in our training process is building a relationship with your dog. We understand that they will be in a new environment, around other dogs, and around people that they have never met before. During the first week, we try to focus on earning your dog’s trust and getting them acclimated.
