Board and Train Program

Give your dog the gift of focused training and care with our immersive Board & Train program. Your dog will live with a trainer for 1–3 weeks, depending on the level of obedience you’d like to achieve. If you’re local, we’ll even pick your dog up from your home to make the process stress-free.

 

Each day, your dog will work on obedience, manners, socialization, and behavior modification in a structured yet nurturing environment. At the end of the day, you’ll receive a digital “report card” with notes, pictures, and videos so you can follow your pup’s progress.

 

To ensure lasting results, your program concludes with a two-hour private turnover lesson held in your home. During this session, we teach you how to continue reinforcing your dog’s new skills so both you and your dog are set up for success.

Dog Aggression Training

At BayHaven, we believe all dogs are good dogs. For pups struggling with aggression, reactivity, or anxiety, we use obedience training and behavior modification to reduce fear and stress while building confidence and trust. Our goal is to help you restore peace in your home, strengthen your connection with your dog, and create the freedom for your family and pet to live in harmony.

Dog Boarding

Whether you’re traveling for work, heading on vacation, or just need your dog out of the house for a few days, BayHaven provides a safe, comfortable, and fun boarding option.

 

Unlike crowded kennels or sitters who only stop by briefly, we limit our boarding to just five dogs at a time. With five indoor/outdoor dog runs and a fenced-in play yard, each guest has their own space along with plenty of one-on-one attention. Social pups can join in small supervised play groups, while more independent dogs enjoy personalized individual time.

 

Each day includes neighborhood walks, multiple potty breaks, playtime, meals, and plenty of rest. We provide all the supplies—beds, bowls, toys, blankets, and more. All you need to bring is your dog’s food. Easy!

 

For added convenience and peace of mind, we also offer in-home pick-up and drop-off. Instead of feeling like you’re leaving your pup behind, your dog will see it as the start of an exciting adventure.

E-collar Training

E-Collar Training uses a remote device that communicates with a receiver worn on your dog’s collar. Signals such as vibrations, tones, or safe levels of stimulation provide clear, consistent communication—especially useful in noisy or distracting environments. When paired with commands, dogs learn to respond reliably without fear, making off-leash freedom possible. This method is ideal for owners who want fast, effective communication and enhanced control while strengthening their bond with their dog.

Puppy Training

Start your puppy off on the right paw! Early training lays the foundation for lifelong success. We focus on teaching the basics, building confidence, and shaping good habits during this important stage. If your schedule is busy or puppyhood feels overwhelming, we’ll guide your pup through training while setting you up with the tools to continue their progress at home—helping you get a head start on your goals.

Overnight Dog Boarding

Overnight stays with comfort and care—not a crowded kennel. With only five guests at a time, every dog gets personalized attention, playtime, walks, and rest. We provide all supplies, plus convenient pick-up and drop-off, so your pup feels like they’re heading out on an adventure.

Balanced Training

Balanced Training blends reward-based methods with fair corrections to create a well-rounded, reliable companion. By rewarding desired behaviors and discouraging unwanted ones, dogs learn clear boundaries and expectations while maintaining trust and respect. This style of training helps owners achieve both structure and harmony with their pets.

​

Note: Physical balance exercises (using stability tools like disks or pillows) can also be incorporated to improve your dog’s strength, coordination, and confidence.
