D.O.G. Board N' Train

Ten stars to D.O.G. Dog Training with Amber and Francine! Adopting our Pitbull-Lab mix left us overwhelmed by her energy and lack of confidence-we even considered rehoming. Reluctant about a month-long structured program with e-collar training, I talked it out with Francine. She explained how safe and effective it is for dog and family alike-no regrets! Our pup's now kind, confident, respectful-way beyond our six-year-old Corgi-beagle, who'd never had proper guidance. Safe around aging in-laws and little kids... she's the exact same dog we sent to "camp" but is now trained and so are WE! I did speak with a number of other program heads and many were just baby-sitting with some training or didn't take the time to talk me through thier program so finding Francine was a relief! What a dream t

We entrusted Francine and Amber with Rowdy, our 16 month old adopted bully mix . He really benefited from the 5 week Rockstar + program. He is a calmer, more confident, less anxious boy. He is well trained and obedient but still the same bouncy, joyous puppy. The training/classes for us were priceless as well. 100% recommend!

We couldn’t be more thankful for the incredible transformation our dog Cash experienced at D.O.G. Board N’ Train. Cash is our 8-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, and before training, he was a total handful. Walks were nearly impossible, he had no recall, and life with a high-energy pup like him felt overwhelming at times. Sending him away for nearly a month was a tough decision, but it ended up being one of the best choices we’ve made. Amber and Francine were phenomenal throughout the entire process. Not only did they help us learn how to properly communicate and work with our dog, but their commitment and expertise truly changed everything for us. Amber kept in close contact the whole time—sending us weekly updates filled with photos, videos, and detailed notes. It made being away

D.OG. Board and Train was the best thing we did for our pup, Harley! We were having issues with him coming when called, jumping, and walking on leash politely. I have a mobility issue and needed Harley to walk nicely on my right side. Francine and Amber were able to solve all of Harley’s issues and train him to heel on the right. Harley came back to us a new, well behaved, polite dog that I now enjoy walking. He still is playful and loves his snuggles, but is more calm and content. We loved getting the twice weekly updates via email, with photos and videos, from Amber on Harley’s progress while he was away and the in person trainings for us were key as well. We highly recommend D.O.G. Board and Train! Thanks Francine and Amber 😄

D.O.G. Board and Train is simply outstanding! We brought home our red fox Lab, Azula (“Zu”), when she was just 8 weeks old. She is an incredibly energetic and loving pup who adores everyone she meets, but she did not listen, pulled hard on walks, became overly excited around every other dog, and was difficult to manage outdoors. After meeting someone whose dog was, without a doubt, the most well-trained and well-behaved I had ever seen, I asked where they had gone. That is how I found D.O.G. Board and Train. When Azula was old enough, I made the long drive from Northern Virginia to their facility in New York. Amber and Francine were great! They are real people working hard and care about the animals they train. Amber kept us updated with Zu's progress twice a week with pictures and vi
