Board and Trains
Our Farm Dog programs are designed for real-world success—out in the pasture, barn, and everywhere your working dog needs to be. We focus on building dependable on- and off-leash obedience, calm behavior around livestock, and respect for fences and farm boundaries. Every training plan is customized to fit your farm’s unique environment and your dog’s role. To strengthen their skills and confidence, many dogs also gain valuable exposure to public places such as feed and hardware stores, learning to stay focused amid distractions. We’re here to help your farm dog become a reliable, confident partner for life on the land.
3 Week Board and Train
Is your dog chasing your horses, scattering your chickens, or running through barbed wire fencing? Struggling with barking and chaos at the feed store, barn, or horse shows? Our specialized 3-week Farm Dog Board & Train is designed to help dogs become safe, reliable, and confident partners in real working environments. From the front porch to the pasture—and everywhere in between—we teach dogs how to stay calm, focused, and obedient around livestock, equipment, guests, and distractions. Every dog receives personalized attention with four follow-up lessons and lifetime support included to ensure lasting success at home.

6-Week Board and Train
Is your dog struggling with aggression toward animals? Too reactive or unpredictable to take to shows or public events? Have they chased your neighbor’s cattle one too many times? We understand that living with a high-drive or reactive farm dog can be overwhelming—but there’s hope. Our Farm Dog Behavior Rehab Program is designed for dogs with severe behavioral concerns, including aggression toward livestock, reactivity, and high prey drive. Through focused, real-world training on our working ranch, we help dogs learn to manage their impulses, build trust, and develop safe, reliable behavior in even the most challenging environments.
