THE BOARDING EXPERIENCE

When your dog stays with me, they become part of my daily life and routine.

Boarding takes place in my home on a couple of acres, where dogs are treated as one of my own. They’ll get plenty of love and attention, and, if appropriate, enjoy off-leash adventures, structured play, and time to explore.

Your dog’s stay isn’t just about supervision. I provide a structured, balanced routine that includes exercise, mental stimulation, and proper rest, so your dog returns home happy, fulfilled, and well cared for.

Safety is always a top priority, and all dogs are cared for based on their individual needs.

OUR BOARD & TRAIN PET GUARANTEE

Unlike other dog training programs we offer a guarantee. We are so confident that you will love our results that we guarantee it!

Upon completion of your Board and Train Pet Program, if the results aren’t where we want them to be, we will keep working with you, at no additional cost.

Your dog will stay in our home for a minimum of two weeks and be fully immersed in a structured, real-life training environment. Our Puppy Starter Program is designed specifically for young, developing dogs to build strong foundations early and set them up for long-term success both in the home and out in the real world.

Training is incorporated into your puppy’s daily routine through age-appropriate sessions, play, and real-life exposure. We focus on essentials such as crate training, manners, intro to obedience (sit, down, come, place), leash introduction, socialization, confidence building, and appropriate play skills.

This program is designed to guide your puppy through critical developmental stages, helping prevent common problem behaviors before they start. We emphasize creating a calm, confident mindset while teaching your puppy how to make good choices and respond clearly to guidance.

As a results-based program, we work at your puppy’s pace to ensure they are progressing appropriately for their age without overwhelming them. The goal is not perfection, but a strong, reliable foundation you can continue building on at home.

You’ll receive regular updates and guidance throughout the program, along with clear next steps so you feel confident maintaining and continuing your puppy’s training after they return home.

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION BOARD + TRAIN PROGRAM

This program is designed for dogs who need more than basic obedience, especially those struggling with behaviors such as reactivity, aggression, anxiety, OCD behaviors, etc. 

At Ashley’s K9 Training, we do not believe in quick fixes. True behavior change comes from understanding the full picture including your dog’s history, temperament, environment, genetics, and the underlying cause of the behavior. From there, we create a structured, individualized training plan tailored specifically to your dog.

Your dog will live in our home for a minimum of 7 weeks, where they are immersed in a consistent, structured environment that promotes clarity, confidence, and accountability. This is not a high pressure boot camp setting. Instead, we focus on building lasting habits through real life training at a pace that sets your dog up for success.

Because of the nature of behavior modification, this program is results driven rather than time driven. Some dogs require more time to fully work through behaviors, and we prioritize doing the job right over rushing the process.

Throughout your dog’s stay, you will receive updates on their progress along with guidance along the way. Once your dog is ready to go home, we shift our focus to you, making sure you feel confident, prepared, and fully equipped to maintain and build on your dog’s training in your everyday life.

Our goal is not just a well trained dog, but a dog you can confidently live with, trust, and enjoy for years to come.
