Boarding School

What is boarding school?

It's like summer camp for your dog! Your dog will spend the nights at Wildcat Pet Resort in Manhattan or Dirty Dog Pet Services in Topeka while training with MuttSchool during the day.

Our boarding school program is designed for people who do not have the time, knowledge or desire to train their dog but still want a well- behaved family pet. MuttSchool trainers will instill proper manners, offer enrichment opportunities plus help expose your dog to many new people, objects and environments that they might not have had the opportunity to experience before.

MuttSchool follows the LIMA approach for dog training and DOES NOT use training equipment that imparts pain, fear or intimidation on your dog. We DO NOT use choke chains, pinch collars or shock collars during training.

Do you have questions where to start? Set up an evaluation and our professional trainers will develop a training plan for your dog.

Benefits of Board & Train

Learn new behaviors
Using scientifically-based methods, your dog will establish a system of lifelong communication through building behaviors and strengthening skills.

Save you time
Training your dog takes time and consistency. If you don't have the time and expertise to do the training, MuttSchool CCPDT-certified trainers can take this task off your to do list.

Reduce bad habits
A dog with fewer bad habits means you have less frustration and will be able to enjoy spending time with your dog more.

Transition to home
To make the transition from boarding school to home go smoothly, we include private lessons with all of our packages. This is so you can learn what we have taught the dog and can continue to reinforce it when the dog returns to your home.

Schedule your board and train in two simple steps:

In Manhattan

1. Book your dog's kennel space at Wildcat Pet Resort

2. Schedule boarding school at MuttSchool MHK

In Topeka

1. Book for dog's kennel space at Dirty Dog Pet Services

2. Schedule boarding school at MuttSchool Topeka

Please note: We do not train on the weekends. MuttSchool trains boarding school dogs during the day Monday-Friday. Currently, we can not train over the weekend due to our facility being used for group classes on Saturday and Sunday. If you can't pick up your dog on Friday, you can pre-arrange boarding over the weekend with Wildcat Pet Resort or Dirty Dog Pet Services even though your dog won't be trained those days.
