In-home board and train · Columbia, SC

Lives in our home. Trains in your world.

Balanced board and train for high drive and problem dogs. Your dog lives with us for the whole program, practices in the places you actually go, and comes home with a 50 foot line and a lifetime guarantee.

Does your dog embarrass you outside?

  • Pulls, lunges or barks on walks
  • Ignores you the second there is a distraction
  • Jumps on guests or can't be trusted in public
  • Reactive or aggressive toward people, dogs or other animals

Wish you could take your dog anywhere, or let them run free on an off-leash hike? We fix this, and we guarantee the results.

Where training happens

Not a backyard. Your errands.

Farm stores, hardware stores, breweries and parks. Your dog practices around real noise, real people and real distractions, so the manners hold up on the trips you actually take.

Where your dog sleeps

A home, not a kennel

Your dog lives with us and is treated like part of the family. No noisy, crowded facility, and no nights left alone in a kennel run.

Dogs learn best in normal life, so yours trains where real life happens: in the house, in the car, and out in public. That is why the training sticks when your dog comes home.

How it works

Five knots on the line

  1. Text or call to book a $20 consult. You can text us a short video of your dog, too.
  2. We meet you and your dog in person, usually for about 30 minutes, for a short behavior evaluation and to find the right program.
  3. Reserve your dog's spot with a $300 deposit.
  4. Your dog moves in, trains daily, and you get videos and photos every day.
  5. Your dog comes home, and we coach you on everything, including the equipment.
