About Our Board and Train Dog Training

If you’re looking for a stress-free dog training program, look no further than our Board & Train option. This program was designed with busy dog owners in mind, since we’re familiar with the difficulties of training a canine while working full-time. This option is also ideal for dog owners who have a trip coming up or live too far from one of our facilities to attend Day Training regularly. 

When you sign your pup up for Board & Train, they’ll receive around-the-clock training. Our trainers will teach them essential manners and skills, address misbehavior, and give them practice behaving in a structured environment. The personalized training that dogs in our boarding facility receive is perfect for getting to the root of persistent misbehaviors or teaching pups skills on an accelerated timeline. 

While our minimum program length is 5 days, we offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs. By the end of your dog’s stay, they’ll have learned strong foundational skills for a lifetime of success. 

Why We Love Board & Train

  • Perfect for busy families who still want high-quality dog training
  • Convenient for owners who live too far away for in-home lessons or a daily commute
  • Dogs receive personalized daily training sessions, speeding up their progress
  • Pups enjoy comfortable overnight stays in our trusted boarding partner’s facility
  • Graduates of Board & Train receive access to Group Classes, lifetime follow-up trainings, and a Sit Means Sit E-collar
  • Many graduates will be properly off-leash trained and confident in obeying commands

Turns out that you can teach an “older” dog new tricks! We adopted Brodie at the age of 5.5 years from a rescue group. He’s a goofball, lovable chocolate lab, but he really needed help with his manners when we brought him home. Sit Means Sit truly transformed his behavior at home (no more begging at meal time), in the car (no more whining), and most especially while out on walks. Family members have even joked that they expected very little change when we invested in his training and were astonished in his improved behavior.

Christine was our primary trainer and remembered individual things about him when I returned for a refresher (I needed it more than Brodie!) seven months later. Shout out to Zack as well, who uncovered Brodie’s absolute obsession with tennis balls.

If you really want to improve your daily experiences with your dog, this investment is worth it. Love it that it’s a two year relationship as well……a little refresher offered as part of the package is great.

Mick is doing great. His training with Zack, Caitlin and Christine has been super. He’s so much better thanks to the expertise of Zack, Caitlin and Christine. His first group training was today and Mick did great. Thanks to SMS Charleston.
