🏡 BOARD & TRAIN Programs

Available Now | Located in Stony Plain, AB
📍 The Doghouse – 12 Boulder Blvd, Stony Plain
📆 4–6 Week Programs | Starting at $4,449

Looking for a total reset or major transformation in your dog’s behavior?

Our Board & Train programs are immersive, trainer-led experiences where your dog lives, learns, and trains with us full-time. This highly effective format allows us to make consistent, focused progress — and then teach you how to maintain that success at home.
________________________________________

🔍 What Is Board & Train?

Board & Train is an intensive, results-driven training program designed for dogs who need more than what a group class can offer. Over 4–6 weeks, your dog lives with us in a structured, low-stress environment that’s optimized for learning.
We work daily on your dog’s unique training goals — whether it’s obedience, manners, or behavior modification — and gradually transfer those results to you through guided support and follow-ups.
________________________________________

🐕 Why Choose This Program?

Many owners struggle to address behavioral challenges alone — whether due to lack of time, confidence, or experience. Board & Train gives your dog the benefit of:

✅ Professional, daily hands-on training
✅ Controlled exposure to real-world environments
✅ Expert behavior modification tailored to your dog
✅ Faster, more consistent progress than at-home efforts
✅ Full transfer of skills back to you with support
________________________________________

📍 Where It Happens:

Your dog will stay and train at The Doghouse: A Canine Academy, located in Stony Plain, AB, with regular field trips around Parkland County to practice in real-life situations.
________________________________________

👤 Who You’ll Work With:

Carissa is a seasoned trainer and coach with years of experience in obedience, behavior modification, and relationship-based training. Known for her ability to connect with dogs and their people, she’ll guide you every step of the way.

🐶 Canine Composure Class

Starts Sunday, September 7th | 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
📍 The Doghouse – 12 Boulder Blvd, Stony Plain, AB
🗓️ 4-week program | Open to dogs 6 months+

Is your dog constantly reacting to the world around them?
Do they struggle to settle when guests come over or when kids are playing nearby?

Canine Composure is designed to help dogs — and their humans — chill out. This class focuses on building calm, confident behavior in everyday situations, teaching your dog that not everything needs a reaction.

Whether it’s relaxing on a patio, staying composed with company over, or just watching the world go by — your dog will learn that calm is a skill worth practicing.
________________________________________

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to teach your dog to settle around distractions
✅ Strategies for calm behavior in the home and in public
✅ Desensitization to common triggers (people, noise, movement)
✅ How to encourage neutrality — not hyperactivity
✅ Tools to build your dog’s emotional resilience and focus

This class is ideal for dogs who are easily overstimulated, reactive, or struggle to wind down. No prior training required — just bring your dog and a willingness to learn together.
________________________________________

🔑 Why This Class Matters:

Calm isn’t just the absence of bad behavior — it’s a trained skill.
Teaching your dog to relax builds confidence, reduces stress, and makes life more enjoyable for both of you.
