    Board & Train

    Intensive 2–6 week residential programs at our Nerang facility for faster, more reliable results.

    Intensive Residential Training

    Our board & train programs deliver faster, more reliable results than weekly sessions. Your dog lives at our purpose-built Nerang facility for 2–6 weeks, receiving daily professional training, structured exercise, and socialisation — all under 24/7 supervision.

    This is the ideal option for busy owners, dogs needing focused behavioural work, or anyone who wants their dog trained to the highest standard in the shortest time. Every program includes owner handover sessions so you can maintain the results at home.

    What's Included

    • 24/7 professional supervision by live-in trainers
    • Daily structured training sessions
    • Custom training plan tailored to your goals
    • Structured exercise and enrichment
    • Regular video progress updates
    • Owner handover and take-home training
    • Free pick-up and drop-off (Brisbane to Tweed Heads)

    Program Lengths

    Programs range from 2 weeks for basic obedience through to 6 weeks for advanced protection or severe behavioural cases. We'll recommend the right duration based on your dog's assessment and your goals.
