What is boarding school?

It's like summer camp for your dog!  


Looking for a fun and enriching way to give your dog the ultimate training experience? Look no further than MuttSchool's Board and Train program.


Our professional trainers provide the highest quality of care, training and socialization in a safe and stimulating environment—just like summer camp for dogs! Our comprehensive curriculum covers everything from basic obedience and good manners to socialization and enrichment activities, making sure your furry friend has a blast while learning and growing.


With our program, your dog will have the opportunity to interact with new people, objects, and environments, just like kids at a  summer camp, providing them with a rich and diverse experience that they may not otherwise have had while learning new behaviors and skills!

You're not just investing in a board and train program – you're investing in a lifetime of companionship with your furry friend.

Boarding

Boarding School is SIX short weeks. Imagine seeing your dog's behavior transform right before your eyes in less than two months! During this time your dog will progress through an entire MuttSchool grade level. Training doesn't have to stop there! MuttSchool has 5 grade levels that increase in difficulty, 


Here is what you need to know about Boarding School:


  • At night, you can choose one of our boarding options:
      • Boarding at Muttschool — Your dog will receive extra attention in the evening from one of our trainers in the form of an extra training session or enrichment/ confidence building exercises. Your dog will wind down its day with a special bedtime treat like a stuffed kong or chewy. The cost is an additional $50/night.
      • Boarding with a MuttSchool trainer (for puppies under 6 months of age) — In the evening, the trainer will work specifically on house manners, crate training and eliminating outside. The cost is an additional $50/night. This option is not always available, so please check with us prior to scheduling training with MuttSchool.
      • Boarding at WildCat Pet Resort — If you choose this option, you will need to arrange boarding with WCPR prior to scheduling your dog's training with MuttSchool.
  • Save on the expense to board your dog overnight! If you are local, you can also get the same results by utilizing our Day School program, combined with private lessons. 

Training

  • During boarding school, your dog will attend MuttSchool's Day School, Monday-Friday.
  •  Each week, your dog will learn a new set of skills based on their level and training plan.  
  • Drop your dog off Monday morning for five days of training.
  • Make sure you schedule a private lesson with your dog's trainer on Friday so you can track your dog's progress. During this lesson you will also learn how to get the same results at home and get personalized tips and advice from your trainer. You'll be amazed at how much your furry friend has learned in just one week!
  • Take your dog home with you Friday afternoon following your private lesson.
  • At home, you'll spend the weekend reinforcing your dog's newly trained skills while bonding and creating a deeper connection between you both. 
  • Please note: If you can't pick up your dog on Friday, you can pre-arrange boarding over the weekend. Private lessons are also available online, or if a lesson on Friday doesn't work in your schedule it can be completed at another time.
  • Return your dog to MuttSchool the following Monday morning.

Investment

  • After your dog has completed the six week program, you can repeat Boarding School  until your dog meets your training goals. 
  • By investing in Boarding School for your dog, you're not just investing in your dog's future - you're investing in a lifetime of joy, love and companionship with your furry friend. So, don't wait—enroll your dog in MuttSchool's Boarding School today and experience the life-changing benefits for yourself!

Key advantages of sending your dog to MuttSchool's boarding school.
Enjoy the convenience.
Training a dog takes time and consistency. If you have a busy schedule or lack the time, knowledge or energy to train your dog, MuttSchool's Boarding School offers a hassle-free solution. You can rest assured that your dog is receiving quality care and training while you focus on your daily activities.
It's simply transformational.
During training, your dog will establish a system of lifelong communication by building behaviors and strengthening skills. Training can reduce bad habits which means you have less frustration and will enjoy spending more time with your dog. While at MuttSchool, your dog will meet new people, investigate objects and explore new environments. By interacting with these in a controlled setting, your dog learns how to respond appropriately to different stimuli. Overall, the experiences and training at MuttSchool can positively enhance your dog's social, emotional, and cognitive development which leads to a happier and more well-adjusted pet.
A comprehensive program for both you and your dog!

The problem with traditional board and train programs is that the dog will learn how to work with the trainer but struggle to generalize the behaviors they were taught when they go home.

Teaching you what your dog has learned at Boarding School is essential for achieving long-term success and happiness for both of you! At MuttSchool, we strive to empower our clients with the knowledge and skills they need to maintain and build on their dog's progress. 


We take pride in being different from other board and train facilities. Our program includes private lessons so you learn alongside your dog ensuring that you can continue their progress at home. This is why during your dog's boarding school stay, we want you to follow up each week with a private lesson and take your dog home for the weekend to practice.
