Board & Train
Immersive Structure. Reliable Results.
Board and Train at Wasatch is a fully immersive reset built on structure, accountability, and clear communication. Dogs live inside a controlled training environment where standards are applied consistently and progress is measured daily. This is not a shortcut. It is concentrated clarity designed to create reliable behavior that transfers home with strength and stability.
We do not suppress personality or dull drive. We channel it. Training is built to create understanding, engagement, and enjoyment of the process, because lasting reliability is built through clarity, not pressure. Every dog is trained to a defined standard, and every owner leaves with the tools to maintain it. When the structure is right, progress compounds and results speak for themselves.
What Board & Train Does
Board and Train accelerates progress by immersing dogs in structured daily repetition. Core obedience, engagement, impulse control, and environmental stability are developed through consistent standards applied multiple times per day. Behaviors are not rehearsed casually. They are built, reinforced, and proofed until they are reliable.
Unlike programs that suppress behavior to create short-term compliance, we build clarity and confidence. Dogs learn to understand the work and engage in it willingly. The result is not a subdued dog. It is a composed, responsive teammate capable of performing at home, in public, and under pressure.
Accelerated obedience and engagement through daily structured repetition
Reliable behavior in real world environments, not just controlled settings
Clear handoff process so owners understand, maintain, and continue progress
Who Board & Train Is For
Board and Train is for owners who want focused, accelerated progress with professional structure guiding every step. Some come because life is busy. Others come because their dog needs clarity, consistency, and leadership they have struggled to provide on their own.
It is also for teams who want a reset done correctly. We do not suppress dogs or manage behavior temporarily. We build understanding, engagement, and reliable communication so the work holds when your dog returns home.
Owners seeking accelerated progress with professional structure
Dogs struggling with consistency, reactivity, or unclear boundaries
Families who want a strong reset without sacrificing long term stability
Board and Train accelerates progress, but lasting success depends on continued structure and follow through at home. We build clarity, engagement, and reliability during the program, and we equip you to maintain that standard long after your dog returns.
Program Structure
Board and Train is structured for depth, not shortcuts. Each program begins with a defined intake process, clear goals, and a written training plan built around your dog’s temperament, drive, and current skill level. Training is progressive and intentional, creating clarity, engagement, and reliable responses in real world environments.
Every program includes a comprehensive go home transfer session at pickup, where we teach you how to maintain and advance the work. A two week follow up session is also included to reinforce standards, refine execution, and ensure smooth transition into your home environment. The goal is lasting change built on shared understanding, not temporary compliance.
Daily structured training sessions with intentional skill progression
Clear communication and engagement built into every repetition
Transfer of sessions to ensure reliability at home, not just in training
Structure is maintained through clear criteria, consistent handling, and intentional daily routines—ensuring behavior remains stable, predictable, and transferable beyond the training environment.
Board & Train programs are priced according to scope, duration, and level of immersion. Every program includes daily professional training, a structured go-home transfer session at pick up, and a two week follow up lesson to ensure clarity and reliability carry into real life. Investment reflects the precision, structure, and professional oversight required to produce lasting results

Program placement and exact investment are determined through our intake process. Length of stay and scope of work are based on history, temperament, and training objectives to ensure the right structure is applied from the start.
Board & Train Within The Wasatch System
Board and Train does not operate in isolation. It is an accelerated immersion inside the same standards, structure, and communication system that define every Wasatch program. The work completed during a stay becomes part of a long term framework, not a temporary fix or just isolated experience.
Many teams transition from Board and Train into The Base Layer, The Ridgeline, or advanced sport and scent programs as appropriate. Because every pillar shares the same foundation, progress carries forward seamlessly. The result is continuity, clarity, and sustainable advancement rather than restart and repetition.
Begin Your Ascent
Every program at Wasatch is built on the same foundation: clarity, structure, and intentional progression. The intake process ensures training begins at the correct starting point for each dog and team.
This allows training to remain stable, effective, and aligned with the standards that support long-term development across all disciplines.
