Board & Train
Our Board & Train Program
Our popular board and train program is geared to ensuring you have a more cooperative dog at home, in the park and wherever you and your pup enjoy your time together. Our Head Trainer Carey Bolduc oversee’s the care and training of the dogs in the Ranch house so there is a structured routine of constant training throughout their stay. She stays in touch with you about how your pup is doing while they’re at the Ranch, and when your pup goes home, she sets you up for training success with a written guideline and video’s, and is available (and encourages) any follow up advise you may need from her.
Our Board and Train packages are available as a guideline for the common training needs of most puppies and dogs, but they can be structured for your specific requirements as well.

The Board & Train Process
- You’ll start by having an initial discussion with our trainer so you both agree on the training goals, then a custom training plan will be created.
- When your dog arrives, our trainer will assess your dog in person, and contact you to confirm training goals.
- Your dog will then begin daily one-on-one training sessions—using positive reinforcement and rewards, such as treats and toys, as well as physical and verbal praise to motivate your dog.
- Over the course of the training, you will be emailed videos to you to show your dogs work and progress. You can then use these videos to continue the training with your dog.
- At the end of your dog’s stay, you’ll receive a personalized report which includes a copy of the new routine to help you both continue the training at home.
While most behaviours are trainable, there are a few exceptions that are very difficult with little success to train outside of the home. Such as severe separation anxiety, house breaking and extreme aggression issues. Contact Carey to discuss further.

Board and Training School options:
For puppies who are 10 weeks or older and have their 2nd set of shots, and need to start engaging in a structured training program. They will stay in the Ranch house with our Head Trainer Carey, so they’ll be in a home environment but with structure and routine daily. The Dog Ranch’s Puppy Board and Training School will teach your pup the following: good manners, release word, ring bell for a potty break, drop it, find it, sit and watch me, rewarding calmness, name game, recall, how to walk nicely on a leash, sit, stay, down, come, leave it, go to your bed, and crate training.
For young dogs (who are 5 months or older and have their 3rd set of shots), who need a daily structured training routine. They will stay in a home environment in the Ranch house with our Head Trainer Carey, and be taught how to focus better, including: rewarding calmness, recall, sit and watch me, drop it, find it, leave it, down, how to walk nicely on a leash, go to your bed, leash walking, the name game, release word, and crate training.
Is your dog hyper reactive and out of control with excitement all the time? Having control over your dog will give you and your dog the confidence to not only create a calmer home environment, but also safely go anywhere at anytime without you both being on edge all the time. Our hyper dog package is a (recommended) 30 day stay at the Dog Ranch and your pup will be trained in many different scenario’s daily to condition your dog to respond better to all your commands including when someone knocks on the door, leash walking, politeness around food, drop it, find it, leave it, down, sit for greetings, got to your bed, name game, release word, crate training and recall.
Walking your dog and having it recall to you on command is how you build a solid happy foundation of a great relationship, so it’s important that you both enjoy the experience. During your dogs training while boarding with us (14 day minimum), your dog will learn how to recall immediately in all situations, and walk politely on a loose leash in a distracting public environment. You won’t be embarrassed when your dog won’t come back to you in the park, or to walk your dog in public anymore!
