Dog Board & Train
Unleash your dog’s full potential with focused, personalized Board & Train programs.
Our intensive Board & Train Program offers immersive, focused training for dogs that require extra attention and accelerated results. Trainers work with your dog around the clock, applying proven techniques to address specific behaviors and build essential skills. This hands-on approach was designed to deliver rapid progress, minimizing distractions and allowing your dog to learn more effectively and efficiently. Your dog will receive the dedicated care they need to thrive, and will often show significant improvements in a short time.
In addition to the intensive training, owners will receive personalized guidance to reinforce the skills learned during the program. You’ll also have access to group classes to continue your dog’s development. This program is ideal for those seeking fast, effective results and should be booked in advance due to limited availability.
At Sit Means Sit Philadelphia, our Board & Train programs are designed to provide your dog with intensive, focused training to achieve lasting results. With two options available, the 5-Day Board & Train and the 12-Day Board & Train, we tailor the program to fit your dog’s needs and help them reach their full potential. Whether you’re looking for foundational skills or advanced off-leash training, these programs deliver rapid progress and lasting change.
Our “Associate’s Degree” program is the 5-day option, providing your dog with essential skills, lifetime follow-up training, and all the necessary training tools. The “Bachelor’s Degree” program, our 12-day option, takes training to the next level, teaching advanced commands. By the end of this program, most dogs will be reliably off-leash trained and ready to perform commands with confidence.
