BOARD & TRAIN
We are proud to offer Northwest Arkansas’ first and only force-free Board and Train program—an immersive experience designed to provide your pup with essential foundational skills. Similar to our Manners 1 and Day School courses, we focus on core behaviors such as come, sit, stay, and leave it. Over the course of two weeks, your dog will receive personalized training from our expert, Shanti Steddum, ensuring they build confidence and good manners in real-life environments.
Price: $2,000 (This four-month program includes follow-up sessions—regular attendance is required.)
Two-week immersive training with Shanti Steddum and a 60-90 minute cue transfer session at pickup.
Unlimited access to After School Coaching on Wednesdays at 5:30 and one in-home follow-up session within the NWA region.
A structured follow-up schedule, with the first follow-up two weeks after the cue transfer session, to maintain and reinforce your dog’s progress.
DAY SCHOOL
Not ready to live without your pup for two weeks? We know life can get hectic and raising a well-mannered dog may not always be as easy as you thought. We’re here to help! Let us handle the heavy lifting during your work week. In our day school program, our certified trainers will train your dog and then we’ll show you how to get those behaviors outside our learning environment.
Pricing: 2x a Week for $380 a Month (8 visits), 3x a Week for $550 a Month (12 visits) or Unlimited (5 days a week) for $700 (20 visits).
Your pup learns to play with their friends and how to engage with us while they’re playing.
They receive a training session every day with one of our day school trainers teaching them essential skills (sit, down, come, stay, place, and leash skills, building up to higher level skills).
After School Coaching every Wednesday at 5:30pm is included in your tuition, so you can come learn how to unlock your pup's potential at home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT TYPE OF TOOLS OR COLLARS DO YOU USE?
Our trainers are committed to force-free techniques. It is our experience that dogs learn skills quickly with positive reinforcement techniques. We successfully utilize science-based training techniques without the use of harsh corrections from shock or pinch collars that can damage the relationship between dog and owner.
WHAT SKILLS WILL MY DOG LEARN?
Our curriculum is designed to follow the American Kennel Clubs’ Family Dog program. Sit, down, come, leave it, leash skills, and stay are the foundation for a well-mannered dog. We guide clients through these skills in a variety of ways that allow them to navigate any environment with their dog.
MY DOG ISN’T FIXED. CAN THEY STILL COME TO SCHOOL?
HOW OLD DOES MY DOG NEED TO BE TO ENROLL?
The health and wellbeing of your puppy is always our first priority. If your puppy is not fully vaccinated, we encourage you to look into our Puppy Socialization Class. This four-week course is designed to help owners navigate the cute but frustrating puppy months with a variety of skills. We fully sanitize the facility before puppies enter their classes. Your dog is fully vaccinated, they’re welcome to enroll in any of our other services.
WHAT VACCINATIONS DOES MY DOG NEED?
Rabies, DHLLP, and Bordatella every 6 months.
