Auckland's Premium Board & Train Programs for Real Behaviour Change
Why Choose Our Stay & Train Programmes
Most dog owners are stuck between slow weekly classes or chaotic kennel-style board & train programmes. Our Stay & Train programmes give your dog full immersion in a real home environment with clear structure, calmness and professional training tailored to their needs.
Home-style, not kennel block
Dogs stay inside the trainer's home, sleep crated and live in a normal household environment — not rows of concrete runs.
Behaviour-first training
We focus on calmness, obedience, leash walking, recall, anxiety, reactivity and real-life behaviour — not tricks or 'only obedience'.
Owner coaching included
90-minute handover session for all programmes, plus a 60-minute mid-stay check-in for the 4-week Behaviour Reset — so you know exactly how to maintain results at home.
Clear programmes & transparent pricing
Simple, structured 2-, 3- and 4-week Stay & Train options with clear outcomes.
