Board & Train (Immersion)Access to 15 Private Acres.
Professional Pack Leadership. Real Results. Our Board & Train is a total immersion into a structured lifestyle. Your dog lives with the trainer on their property, where bad behaviors are curbed and good habits are nurtured at an expedited pace. Our Board & Train Programs: • 2-Week Puppy Program: Focused on foundational leash manners and engagement. • 3-4 Week Adult Programs: Comprehensive leash and e-collar training for total reliability. Includes our Signature Gear Kit: A custom Pawtriot x Mountain Dog multifunctional leash featuring a lifetime warranty. |
Why our Board & Train programs are longer.
|
• Time = Results: Most trainers offer 1-week puppy or 2-week adult training programs because it fits their trainer’s schedule. We require more time because we refuse to rush the process. By providing 50% more training time than the industry average, we ensure your dog doesn’t just learn commands - they develop lasting habits.
|
• Elite Value: In Northern Virginia, the industry standard for a 2-week program is $3,000+. We’ve chosen a different path. For $3,200, we provide a full 3-week immersion. We aren’t interested in “express” results that fade; we believe that the extra week of proofing on our 15 acre estate is the difference between a dog that listens in a kennel and a dog that listens in your living room.

Meet the owner: Sydney!With 10 years of experience and over 400 dogs successfully trained, I’ve dedicated my career to helping families build better lives with their dogs. I believe a well-trained dog should be a seamless part of your daily life—whether that means staying calm around a stroller or enjoying a peaceful walk on the trails.
Every dog is trained in our trainer’s home providing a unique "family-style" environment that mirrors a true household setting. This allows us to proof behaviors against real-life distractions, ensuring the results we achieve together translate directly to your own living room. From foundational manners to our signature Adventure Hikes through local trails, my goal is to provide your dog with the skills they need to thrive. |
