Creekside’s board and train program is our most popular and effective training option.  The board and train program is unique to Creekside focusing on both socialization and obedience. All board and trains stay at Creekside’s partner facility K9 Camp. K9 Camp is a day care and boarding facility with crate free options. During the day your dog will get to socialize with the day care pack. Creekside trainers will pull your dog for training sessions throughout the day. In the evening your dog will stay in the boarding room with the overnight staff. This room is set up like a living room so that your dog can work on their in-home skills. Then it’s lights out and time to rest up for the next day of training and social work. 

 

Your dog’s entire stay is a controlled training experience, optimizing their time with us, in order to see the fastest and most effective results.

Board and Train Programs

 

Two Week (14 day) $2000

This is the perfect kickstart to your dogs education. In the two week program your dog will gain a fundamental understanding of all the above skills and begin the process of committing all that information to muscle memory.  Towards the end of the program they will begin receiving real world application of said skills. 

​

Three Week (21day) $2850- This is our most recommended program

In the three week program we will be able to take the information learned in the two week program and advance it further into muscle memory as well as increasing the level of difficulty applied to each skill. In this program your dog will also experience increased real world application and get to float in and out of group classes when appropriate. For dogs utilizing a remote collar, off-leash skills will also be introduced.

​

Four Week (42 day)​$3700

In order ensure an easy transfer of information and make sure your dog remains mentally focused and keeps up their stamina, this program is broken down into two parts. Your dog will first spend two weeks with us and cover the information in our two week program. At the end of the two weeks you will receive a go home lesson and take your dog home for a week to transition the information into your regular routine. Your dog will then return for its final two weeks of training (only one week is allowed to go by). Out of all of our programs this program will advance your dog the furthest.
