How it Works

Ana’s 2-week Program

During your dog’s stay in our home, they will have many opportunities to play and learn with Ana and the Grace Dog Training & Behavior staff. Ana will spend two weeks building skills and training by way of gentle methods and positive reinforcement.

After the Board & Train, we will spend 5 hours transferring what your dog learned to you. These hours must be used within 10 days of your dog returning home.

We want you to be able to pick up where we leave off, and of course, we’re always here to answer any questions and follow-up on your progress. We want you and your dog to have a long, happy relationship!
