Your Dog Lives In Our Home. We Do The Training.
You Get
Your Life Back.

You love your dog. 

But life with your dog should not feel chaotic, stressful, embarrassing, or exhausting.
When walks are a battle, guests are a problem, jumping and biting are wearing you down, and your dog only listens when they feel like it, it can start to feel like you are living in survival mode.

That is where K9 Principles Board & Train changes everything.

Your dog lives inside our home, just like one of our own dogs, while we do the daily training, build better habits, and create the structure they need to become calmer, more manageable, and easier to live with.

We Do The Heavy Lifting For You

Most owners are not short on love.

They are short on time, consistency, and a clear plan.

Training a dog properly takes repetition, structure, calm leadership, and daily follow-through. That is difficult to manage when you are already juggling work, family, schedules, stress, and the everyday demands of life.
With K9 Principles Board & Train, we step in and do the hard part for you.

Your dog lives with us inside our home, where training is built into real life. Walks, doorways, settling, manners, obedience, impulse control, and daily routines all become part of the process.

Because your dog does not live in a training facility. Your dog lives in a home. So that is where we train them.

This Is Not A Cold Kennel Stay. This Is Training Inside A Real Home.

Ordinary Board & Train

Dogs may spend much of their time in kennel runs.
Training may happen in a facility instead of a real household environment.
Home manners may not be practised throughout normal daily routines.
Owners may be left wondering if the training will transfer once the dog comes home.
The experience can feel like boarding with training added on.

K9 Principles Board & Train

Your dog lives inside our home.
Training is built into normal household routines.
Your dog receives structure, care, attention, and guidance every day.
Manners are practised where they matter most: in real life.
You receive private lesson support so you understand how to maintain the training at home.

This is not just about teaching commands. It is about making your dog easier to live with.

Choose The Board & Train Program That Fits Your Dog

Every Program Includes More Than Training

Your dog is not dropped off, trained in isolation, and handed back with a list of commands.

Every Board & Train program is built around care, structure, communication, and owner support.

Included With Board & Train:

Lifetime email and phone support.
Free pick-up and drop-off service. *Not Included With Sleep Over Tune Up*
Frequent progress updates.
Videos and pictures during the program.
Private lesson support.

Life With Your Dog Should Feel Easier

The goal is not just better commands.

It is calmer walks, easier doorways, fewer battles, better manners, and a dog who understands what is expected of them.

Board & Train is about giving your dog structure, giving you relief, and helping your home feel peaceful again.

Real structure. Real training. Real relief.
