How it works

During their stay, your dog will live in our home of professional trainers alongside a small group of just 2–6 dogs. We intentionally keep our board and train program small to ensure each dog receives plenty of individual attention, structured training, exercise, and downtime.

While your dog is with us, you’ll receive at one email updates per week, a phone call update prior to the go-home-sessions, complete with photos and videos on our social media, so you can stay connected and follow their progress. Each day includes multiple training sessions (walks, home training, public access), as well as time for structured play, physical activity, and rest. We care for your dog as if they were our own—and we understand how hard it can be to be away from them. That’s why communication and care are top priorities.

The program includes 2 go-home-sessions, and two follow-up-session. During the 2 go-home-sessions, we walk you through everything your dog has learned so you feel confident continuing the work at home. Consistency is key to long-term success, and we make sure you’re fully prepared—plus, we’ll send a thorough homework material so you're as prepared as possible.

Welcome to Our World Renowned Board And Train Program

Our internationally recognized board-and-train program covers every aspect and level of training. From puppy work to standard obedience, to the most severe behavior issues. We are New Orleans’ and the Pacific Northwest’s most trusted training company, with over 15 years of experience, and thousands of happy clients.

As mentioned above, we cover all levels and degrees of training needs, but we built our worldwide reputation helping the tougher cases that others were unable to. In that pursuit, we’ve developed a unique approach and system; one that not only transforms these extremely difficult dogs but which also transfers seamlessly to the owners. And if we’re this successful with the tough ones, imagine the results with puppies and more straightforward cases.

At TGDW we specialize in low-level, communication-style E-Collar training. Our state-of-the-art training approach enables owners to have a fully off-leash reliable dog indoors and outdoors, as well as relaxed, stress-free walks. No more bribing, begging, or losing your cool; just dependable training, a great relationship, and a dog you can enjoy anywhere.
