You’ve watched the videos, bought the treats, tried the new harness. And your dog still drags you down the block, barks, and bolts the second the door cracks open. It’s exhausting. It’s a little embarrassing. And it’s not your fault! Most advice was never built for your dog. You love your dog. You’re just done living around the chaos.
For years, we’ve helped Salt Lake families transform the dogs they were ready to give up on. Right here in our 6,250 sq ft South Salt Lake training facility. Board & train works because your dog learns around the clock, in a structured environment, with expert trainers reinforcing the right behavior every single day. And because you’re coached too, the results come home with you instead of staying at our door.

A dog that listens the first time. Loose-leash walks instead of arm-wrestling. Guests at the door without the chaos. Off-leash freedom you can trust. The calm, confident dog you pictured when you brought them home — and the relationship to match.
Here’s the thing about dog behavior: it doesn’t fix itself. Every month you wait, the habits get more wired in — and harder (and costlier) to undo. The best time to start was a year ago. The next best time is now.

No, and it’s for good reason. We used to offer shorter programs, and they left dogs underdone and owners frustrated! There just isn’t enough time to do it right. Other trainers promise the world in a week, but rushing produces a dog that obeys through pressure, not one that behaves on its own. Our system teaches your dog to make good decisions independently, and every extra week compounds the results. The longer program isn’t an upsell — it’s what actually works.
Board and train has a reputation problem, and honestly, some of it is earned. Too many programs take your dog for two weeks, drill obedience with heavy tools, and hand you back a dog that behaves out of caution, until it wears off. That is a boot camp. We run a school. Your dog lives and learns with us, gets shown what to do through play until good choices are habits, and all through the program (this is the part most programs skip) we teach YOU before your dog goes home, so the results transfer to your house.
Your dog stays with us and trains every day with professional trainers. Instead of one lesson a week and homework in between, your dog gets full immersion: structure, practice, and repetition all day, every day. It is the fastest way to build new habits, because there are no mixed signals and no missed days. You get detailed report cards every day so you know what your dog is learning, you will have a weekly or biweekly lesson with your trainer so you can learn hands on and see how much your dog has learned, and your dog goes home with you on the weekends so you can practice! And so you don’t miss your dog too much during training.
Worth it when two things are true: the training is built around playful, joyful learning, and the program teaches the owner throughout the entire program, not just at the end. Skip either one and you are renting good behavior, not buying it.
Board and train earns its cost when life is the obstacle: a busy schedule, a habit that needs daily repetition to break, or a family that keeps accidentally untraining the dog. If a weekly lesson or day training would honestly serve you better, we will tell you that on the free call. We would rather match you to the right program than the biggest one.
In Utah, board and train programs commonly run from around $1,500 to $6,000 depending on length and goals. Every program is customized and covered by the Dependable Dog Guarantee: your dog reaches the goal, or we keep training, free, until they do. See the full breakdown on our training pricing page.
The right length depends on the goal. Basic manners take less time, deep habits like leash reactivity take more. We will give you an honest recommendation after we meet your dog.
School, not kennel time. Training sessions spread through the day, real-world practice, structured rest, play, and time around other dogs and people. You are not left wondering how it is going. You will receive daily report cards with pictures and/or videos so you know exactly what your dog is learning and how to use it at home.
Your dog will not forget you. Dogs remember their families through much longer separations than a training stay, and the reunion is usually the best part of our week.
Wearing off is the real question, and it is exactly why our program ends with teaching you. Throughout your dog’s program, you get hands-on sessions where we show you what your dog learned, the words and habits that hold it together, and how to handle the first weeks at home. Dogs do not lose training. Families lose consistency. We make consistency easy, and our thousands of results since 2007 back it up.
No, and a program that says yes to every dog is telling you something. Some dogs, and some goals, are better served by private lessons. Tell us what is going on in the free phone call and we will give you a straight answer, including “this is not the right program for you” when that is the truth.
Start with a free phone call: 801-516-4012. We will talk about your dog, your goals, and whether board and train is the right tool. Then visit us with your dog for a free training session, see the school, meet the teachers, and decide with your own eyes.
