Platteville, Wisconsin
BOARD & TRAIN PROGRAMS
Our board and trains are designed for owners who want to be able to communicate better with their dog and give their dogs the freedom they deserve. We strive to give your dog a happy and fulfilled lifestyle, healthy mindset and excellent obedience so you can navigate through challenging environments and every day distractions while maintaining control of your dog. There is so much your dog can learn but it does take a lot of time, skill and knowledge. That's what we are here for, let us help you build a harmonious relationship with your dog!
What is a board and train? Your dog stays at Kellsey's home for 10 days - 4 weeks (weekends are optional). This allows us to work with your dog for multiple training sessions each day as well as play sessions, walks, household situations and fieldtrips.
​
All board and trains include an e-collar (except puppy board & train), a brief consultation at drop off, a "go home" lesson, a place cot and lifetime support. See below for our different options.
All programs are customizable! The programs listed below are generally what is accomplished in the amount of time. Every dog is different and every family has different goals for training.
If you have a budget or time constraint we can create a program that will work for you.

DAY TRAIN
If a Board & Train is not right for you and your family, we can do a day train instead. Just like a board & train but your dog goes home with you each night and stays with you on the weekends! We may need more time with your dog if they are doing a Day Train instead of a Board & Train.
Must be able to drop off and pick up at our Platteville training facility.
Day Train program may not be right for all dogs.
