Why Choose Board & Train at Metro K9?

Our “Stay & Learn” board-and-train program delivers fast, reliable results without the daily scheduling stress. Your dog lives and trains with our professional team, receiving consistent, clear guidance that is difficult to match at home. Fewer dogs in our program means more one-on-one time, better focus, and training that sticks.

How the Program Works

  • Minimum stay: We recommend a minimum of 3 weeks.
  • Daily schedule: Structured training sessions, enrichment, social exposure as appropriate, and exercise for a calm, confident dog.
  • Personalization: We tailor methods and milestones to your dog’s temperament and goals, not a one-size-fits-all template.
  • Owner success: You will learn the same handling skills we use, so results continue at home.

What Your Dog Can Learn

  • Basic Obedience: Name response, sit, down, place, leash manners, recall, impulse control.
  • Advanced Obedience: Heel precision, duration, and distance work, off-leash reliability where appropriate, distraction proofing.
  • Behavior Modification: Jumping, pulling, mouthing, nuisance barking, anxious or reactive behavior, and door manners.
  • Protection Training (by evaluation): Foundation and advanced work for suitable dogs and owners.

Who This Program Is For

  • Busy families who want a strong foundation built quickly
  • New adopters who need structure and clarity
  • Owners struggling with behavior issues at home
