A Board & Train is an immersive and thorough training program that gets to the root cause of the problem behaviours you might be experiencing with your dog. Unlike a facility type environment, The Balanced Lab offers an intimate and personal in-home program with an incredibly high level of care. You can rest assured knowing your dog is getting the love, patience and dedication it takes to modify problem behaviours while coaching and cheering your dog along the way.
*All board and train programs are designed for dogs 5 months and older.
*As the owner(s), you are required to attend 3 transitional sessions on the last week of the board & train. (Totals 6+ hours of hands on experience).
*Your dog must be comfortable sleeping in a crate overnight.
*Does not include the cost of tools required for the program.

I offer regular boarding for the dogs that have already completed one of my board and train programs. I also offer "refresher days" that can be added on to their boarding fee if you want some things touched up or worked on ($125/night)
