The Naked Dog’s Board and Train Program
Training your dog is the most important investment you will make.
Whether you have a new puppy or behavioral issues you would like to resolve, Board and Train offers a helping hand as you as your dog embark on the journey of creating a healthy relationship and the most enjoyable life together. Our trainers will take your dog into their home, get to know them, build new, helpful routines that reinforces a calm mindset, and share what works with you so you don’t need to go through a prolonged trial and error process all on your own. Our Board and Train program offers focused training to a limited number of dogs at a time, designing a unique program that addresses your primary training concerns.
"I Cannot Recommend Vikki & the Naked Dog’s Approach Enough!"
Vikki’s training transformed how I interact with my rescue dogs by helping me understand their communication. She addressed each dog's unique challenges and equipped me with the tools to build a better relationship with them. My dogs are much happier because their needs are now being met in a way that makes sense to them.

“We now treasure our walks together”
After months of struggling with my adopted stray, Vikki’s training changed everything! Bosco came home with his basic obedience and loose leash walking mastered. We are now so much more attuned to each other.

Two week board and train
Our two week board and train program is a great start for a puppy or dog who wants to improve house manners and learn basic obedience commands. During this stay your dog will receive training in and out of the home with a focus on your primary training concerns. Our eCourse, ‘go home’ training session and follow up session will support you in applying our training tools at home so you get to enjoy a balanced and responsive dog.
Four week board and train
Our four week board and train covers everything in the two week program as well as off-leash recall, more training in public spaces and provides an opportunity to focus on more specific training challenges. This program is perfect for owners who have a challenging dog or want to enjoy their puppy with support around the more difficult stages of puppy development.
"My dog had so much fun and I knew he was in great hands."
Vikki sent daily pictures, videos, and updates so I never felt out of the loop or nervous. I continue to use her training tips and highly recommend The Naked Dog’s program!
