One-on-One Attention

Before discussing the benefits of a Board & Train program, it’s important to address some of the common issues we see throughout the industry. The reality is that many programs are designed around profitability—not your dog. In traditional setups, your dog is often one of many that the trainer must cycle through each day. Outside of a few hours of hands-on work, dogs may spend a majority of their time crated or waiting their turn.

This approach doesn’t just limit the quality and depth of training—it also places pressure on trainers to rush dogs through a preset timeline. Instead of progressing at a pace that appreciates the dog’s individual needs, temperament, and learning style, many programs prioritize deadlines over milestones. When owners invest thousands of dollars into improving their dog’s behavior, they deserve training and care that truly reflect that commitment.

At Homegrown Canine Training LLC, we do things differently. We focus on building a few exceptional dogs—not a large number of mediocre ones. We accomplish this by boarding only one dog at a time, providing up to three times more daily training hours, and extending the workday beyond a typical 9–5 schedule to a 7am–10pm training day. Your dog is never left kenneled or crated for long periods, allowing us to create a fully individualized, outcome-driven training program built around what your dog actually needs to succeed.
