Let Us Do The Heavy Lifting
Whether it's a full stay or just a day, we’ll tackle the big training goals and give you the jumpstart you need. These immersive options are designed to create real change through hands-on, structured work with our professional team, so your dog can make meaningful progress.
When choosing our Board and Train program, you’ll also receive coaching on how to keep the momentum going. You’ll get personal support through private lessons, group classes, and our self guided video course all included with your dog’s stay. You’ll never be left wondering what to do next.
Doing a Day Train instead? This is perfect for current clients who want a little extra help along the way. Dropping your dog off for the day is a great way to sharpen skills and work on specific problem areas.

Our Board and Train program is offered in focused 4-day training blocks, designed to create lasting change through immersive, hands-on work. Your dog will stay with one of our professional trainers and receive personalized, structured training throughout each day. After each 4-day intensive, we intentionally build in a break to give your dog time to absorb everything they've learned. During this break, your dog can either return home with you or continue boarding with the trainer for an additional fee.
We customize the program based on your dog’s unique needs, behaviors, and history. Every dog is different, and we’ll work closely with you to determine what’s best. For new clients, the minimum commitment is 8 days of training, and most dogs benefit from 8, 12, or 16 days . For returning clients, 4-day increments are available as a refresher or follow-up to previous training.
Each 4-day training block is $1,040, with the total program cost ranging from $1,040 to $4,160 depending on the length of your dog’s stay and training goals. (includes a private training lesson at each pickup, access to the Unlimited Group Monthly Membership ranging from 1-5 months + lifetime access to our self-guided video course- Manners Matter)

Our Day Train program is a great option for returning clients looking for some extra support. During your dog’s Day Train, they’ll get hands-on training with a professional trainer, focusing on core skills like calming exercises and leash walking, along with anything specific you'd like us to work on. We’ll tailor the day to your goals and your dog’s needs.
Day Train is $260 per day. Drop-off is between 9–11 AM and pick-up is between 3–5 PM. Need a longer day? Early drop-off or late pick-up can be arranged for an extra $40. If your dog needs any special training tools, we’ll chat with you first. Those would be an additional charge. You’ll get a video update at the end of the day with notes on how things went and what we worked on.

From Our Home To Yours
Your dog lives and trains in a home environment, not a kennel
Instead of being in a loud, overwhelming warehouse facility or kennel, your dog will spend their time training in a cozy home environment that feels much more like the place they’ll be returning to.
We focus on everyday routines and real-life scenarios they'll experience with you
From mealtimes and door greetings to leash walks and settling while you’re working, we incorporate the kinds of moments and routines your dog will encounter daily at home.
Your dog enjoys individualized, hands-on training sessions throughout their stay
Each day, your dog will work directly with a professional trainer in focused, one-on-one sessions designed to help them make real progress on the goals you care about most.
Our structured setting allows us to safely recreate your dog’s real-world struggle points
Whether your dog needs help with things like impulse control, visitors, leash reactivity, barking at the window, etc. Our structured environment lets us set up and work through those exact situations in a safe and productive way.
Your dog learns to generalize their training by working with multiple trainers
During their stay, your dog will work with several trainers to learn that the skills they're practicing don’t just apply to one person, they apply no matter who’s interacting with them.
The home-like setting makes it easier for training to carry over into your daily life
Because your dog is learning in an environment that mimics your home, the transition back to you is smoother and the training we’ve put in place is more likely to carry over when they’re back with your family.
Helping a Nervous, Reactive Dog Learn to Trust Again
""I reached out to Paws and Possibilities regarding my lab mix, Cooper. He had a rough puppy-hood and had become increasingly nervous around a lot of things, especially new people. We had gotten to the point where we could no longer have new people over to the house because Cooper's nerves had turned into aggression and we were worried that he may bite someone that came in.
He had also been kicked out of daycare for bad behavior. We had been to a few trainers and nothing seemed to really help him. Luckily, a friend recommended Paws and Possibilities and it has made a world of difference. After spending two weeks in the Board and Train Program with Kim, Cooper is like a new dog. He is so much calmer and confident and has been able to meet new people without any aggression. So many people have complimented Cooper and how much different he seems. We couldn't have done it without Kim and I would recommend her services to anyone! She has provided so many tools for us to continue to help Cooper improve. Thank you so much Kim!"
