Board and Train: General Info
Fido’s Finest Dog Training has a phenomenal Board and Train Program. In fact, it is our most popular program. It is a customizable two to eight week doggie boot-camp where your dog comes to live in one of our trainer’s homes. He will train daily as we focus on the commands most important to you. Since the training is done in a home environment, your dog will get great socialization and “real life” training. In-home training will transfer better to your home when compared to a facility. We focus on chewing, mouthing, potty training, jumping and all of the basics on a daily basis. Basics include, but are not limited to, manners/behaviors such as leave-it, drop-it, sit, down, stand, come, stay, walking manners, counter surfing and not jumping on you or your guests.
We will work through the challenging beginning stages of training and the tedious repetitions required for success for which you may lack the time or patience. The Board and Train program is perfect for puppies, dogs that need professional intervention or for fine tuning the basics for busy owners and families on vacation. Your dog will be trained by us but will listen to you!

Did you know?
The best “trained” dogs in the world work in service for their human companions. Police dogs, military dogs, therapy dogs, dogs that lead the blind and dogs that detect seizures in children. Before these dogs could live in their forever homes and serve alongside police officers, soldiers, the elderly and children, they first lived with a trainer. At Fido’s Finest we believe your dog deserves nothing but the best!
