BOARD AND TRAIN: OUR FLAGSHIP DOG OBEDIENCE TRAINING PROGRAM
Due to the often deeply ingrained behavior patterns some dogs establish at home, Board & Train programs can be the most fair and successful environment for stopping unwanted dog behavior issues.
Board and Train is a chance for your dog to learn from a pro, then for you to learn to maintain and continue results that are more manageable.
Interrupt bad habits, pattern more correct choices, and take the guess work out of your dog’s education.
Board and Train generally includes our specialty remote or “e” collar training, and any other necessary tools to get the dog training results you’re after.
For an idea of what Board & Train can give you and your dog in just a short amount of time, please enjoy this footage from one of our recent graduates.

BOARD AND TRAIN PROGRAM DETAILS
We can help you get results, FAST! Wether in one-on-one sessions together, or through a more comprehensive done-for-you program, you do not need to feel stressed or overwhelmed by your dog anymore.
Board and Train is typically three weeks, but owners should expect the work at home to begin before their program starts, and continue after. We can advise of what to expect during an initial free evaluation or one-one-one training session, with length of stay varying based on behavior issues, age, temperament, and goals. Program length has been designed based on the commitment to training safely, with fairness, and as positively as possible.
During your dog’s stay, they will spend time learning, playing, socializing, and walking, and they will be in a family home environment, not a facility. We work your dog around all kinds of normal, every day life challenges, as closely mirrored to the ones you are going to be living with after your dog returns home. Our team is based in San Diego California and Lake Elsinore California, covering your San Diego, North County, San Diego, and Riverside dog training needs. We also have a skilled trainer in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
OUR CORE COMMANDS ARE BELOW:
PLACE COMMAND: The “off switch” for your dog to down/stay/relax.
COME: Recall when called.
HEEL: Walks politely at your side without pulling/off leash (off leash abilities depending on length of stay and severity of behavior).
OUT/NO: Our “Leave it/Drop it/Nevermind” command (addresses resource guarding as well).
DOWN: Implied stay.
SIT: This one’s obvious.
LET’S GO: Follow and permission command.
BREAK: Release command.
KENNEL UP: Head to their crate.

OVERNIGHT DOG BOARDING
Hope2K9 Foundation offers home-style overnight boarding for new or existing clients. Boarding is open to dogs of all ages and behavior backgrounds, with our only requirement being that your dog is used to remaining calm and quiet when crated.
We do not want your pup to be stressed by the routine use of calm kennel time between activities, so if your dog is unable to be relaxed in a crate currently, they may require some training with us before they qualify for boarding.
Your dog will experience daily walks, play time if they’re dog social, and plenty of tailored attention from our dog loving team.
The best thing about our boarding service is that it helps fund the work of our non-profit organization, which trains adoptable dogs, cares for military member’s pets during lengthy deployments, and provides free dog training classes.
Overnight boarding is $59/night per dog, with cash discounts available.
To reserve your spot in our overnight boarding program, please submit a contact form from the link below.

REFUNDS:
Due to the boutique nature of our boarding program, and because your payment is a donation to our rescue program, payment in full is required to hold your boarding reservation, and it is our policy to issue a credit for future use in the event that you need to cancel your dog’s stay. No refunds are available for cancelled reservations – unless your dog has passed away and cannot use boarding in the future – no exceptions will be made.
FREE 30-MINUTE EVALUATION WITH YOUR DOG
We offer a FREE 30 minute evaluation at multiple home-based locations across San Diego and Riverside counties. This evaluation is an opportunity for us to get to know more about you and your dog(s), as well as for you to become familiar with our training team, and the environment your dog would be in during training with us.
A free evaluation is a personal, no obligation visit that all adult owners should attend, and a time for everyone to be sure we’re a good fit to work together toward your goals. Don’t forget, you can always come to our FREE monthly Hope4Hounds training class too, this is a great opportunity to see our work (and past clients) in action.
One of our main motivations for providing exemplary service and reliable results here at Hope2K9 Foundation, is the fact that we know your time and money are precious, and we don’t think they should be wasted by training that doesn’t work. Our programs provide incredible results, and our clients are continually amazed that they did not know this type of positive relationship and training success was available to them sooner.
