Board and Train
Most dog training requires you to practice 30-45 minutes every single day. Miss a few sessions and your dog regresses. Have a busy week and training falls apart. It's exhausting, and most people don't have the time or energy to stay consistent.
That's the problem Board and Train solves.
Your dog stays with us for 2-8 weeks of immersive, structured training. We handle everything. Daily training sessions, consistency, distractions, problem-solving. When your dog comes home, the hard work is already done. We just teach you how to maintain it.
And for busy households, we make it even easier. We pick up your dog from your door and return them when training is complete. No driving to St. Agatha. No disrupting your schedule. We come to you.
Three Program Lengths, Starting at $2,250
Hamilton owners pick a length based on what their dog needs to work through, from foundational obedience to structured reactivity work.
On-Leash Obedience
2 to 3 weeks, from $2,250 +HST
- Loose leash walking
- Sit, down, place, and stay
- 1 to 2 private sessions with your trainer

Off-Leash Obedience

Every program starts the same way, with an in-person evaluation so your trainer can recommend the right length before you commit to a program or a price.
Where Your Dog Lives During Training
Because board and train is a full-time program, your dog lives on-site for the length of the stay, and that environment is built to support the training rather than work against it. This is structured care, not a row of open kennels barking at each other all day. Every dog gets a private suite, a predictable daily rhythm, and one-on-one handling from the same team running its training.
The facility sits on private acreage in St. Agatha, roughly an hour from downtown Hamilton, with secure indoor suites and large outdoor areas for decompression and supervised exercise. Dogs are never crowded into group free-for-alls. Time outside, rest, feeding, and training are all scheduled, so your dog stays calm and settled instead of overstimulated.
If your dog has a special diet, medication, or a feeding routine, we keep it exactly as you set it at home, so nothing about its care changes mid-program. Anxious dogs, seniors, and dogs that do not do well in typical kennels tend to settle here because the environment is quiet, the handling is consistent, and the same people are with them every day.
For Hamilton families, that means your dog comes home better trained, well-rested, and looked after, with none of the regression that can follow a stressful stay somewhere else.
