Immersive training, tailored to your dog.
Focused training for dogs who need more support than at-home can provide.
A Unique Approach
Long-term Success
When dogs are solely trained by professionals, they often have a lot of regression when they go back home. Your dog will learn valuable skills throughout the week and then have the opportunity to practice and reinforce these behaviors with you over the weekend. This valuable continuity ensures that your pup's progress is maintained and their newfound skills become ingrained.
Owner Involvement
This program allows you to set a new foundation at home before your pet fully graduates. When your dog returns home after their training experience, you'll notice improved behavior, increased obedience, and enhanced communication. By establishing this solid groundwork, you'll have the confidence and knowledge you need to maintain the training techniques effectively. Our program empowers you to build a strong and lasting bond with your furry friend, long after training is complete.
Owner Support
We are here to support you in adapting to the lifestyle changes that come with training your dog. We understand that learning and implementing new training techniques can feel overwhelming. By regularly sending your dog home on weekends, you'll have the chance to adjust to the new routines and strategies stress-free. It's the perfect opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the training methods used during the program and observe the positive changes in your dog's behavior.
Not every dog or family needs Board & Train, but for the right fit, it can be life-changing. Your dog comes to stay with me for a set period of time, where I focus on their training, confidence, and calm in real-world situations.

K9 to 5 is designed to empower you to be successful at home. You will receive guidance, tips, and resources from our Pawsitive Vibes trainers going into your weekend. During the weekend, you can reach out to us if you have a question. However, we highly suggest that you troubleshoot behaviors on your own and write down what you struggled with and what you had success with. This allows us to get a better picture of what needs to be worked on moving forward. It also gives you the unique opportunity to get a snapshot of how working with your dog will be. You also receive access to our owner education program, go-home guide, two additional in-person sessions and virtual check-in sessions.

“…Mako was truly treated like family and received more love, care, socialization, and new experiences than I could have ever hoped for. When I picked him up, she did a great job explaining all of the things he learned and coaching me through trying it out on my own. I feel empowered and excited to continue Mako's training at home, and I have no doubt that we will achieve all of our goals!”

“…He went from completely checking out when I asked something of him to making good decisions on his own and looking to me for direction when he needed guidance...If you are on the fence about investing the money to get your dog professionally trained, this is your sign to call Lizzy.”
