Board and Train Programs for Dogs of All Ages!
Transforming Behavior Through Positive and Engaging Dog Training
At Wildmour K9, we believe in simple, effective, and compassionate training. Using positive reinforcement methods, we focus on understanding your dog’s behavior and motivation. Your dog stays with our family in our home—no lonely kennel runs, no harsh e-collars, and no bootcamp-style training. Instead, we provide a supportive and nurturing environment where your dog can thrive. Let us handle the hard foundational work with one of our tailored board and train programs, designed for both puppies and older dogs.
Proudly serving the areas of Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, Luary, Staunton, Roanoke, Winchester, Culpeper, Warrenton, Manassas, Fredericksburg, Richmond, Fairfax, Arlington, Franklin, and beyond.
Our Board and Train Programs
Smart Puppy Start Board and Train
Perfect for puppies starting as young as 8 weeks old, this program builds the foundation for essential skills like potty training, crate training, and basic manners. Our structured, supportive environment helps young dogs grow in confidence and develop good habits from the very beginning.
For many of our clients, bringing home an 8-week-old puppy straight from the breeder can be overwhelming. Timing isn’t always ideal, and dedicating enough time for potty training, proper socialization, and teaching basic manners can be challenging. That’s why most of our clients rely on us to pick up their puppy directly from the breeder and handle those stressful (and often sleepless) first few weeks.
Our Smart Puppy Start Program provides your puppy with a strong foundation for success, whether as a beloved pet, a sports prospect, or a future service dog. The best part? Your puppy lives in our home with our family—no isolated kennels like many other trainers. We also schedule weekly video calls so you can see your puppy’s progress firsthand. Plus, daily video and photo updates keep you involved in every step of the process—without the mess, stress, or sleepless nights.
Manners Refresher for Older Dogs
Ideal for older dogs needing a behavioral reset, this program reinforces essential manners while addressing specific challenges. Our experienced trainers tailor their approach to meet your dog’s unique needs, ensuring they’re ready for a seamless transition back home.
Our Refresher Program is ideal for honing specific skills like loose leash walking or providing your dog with an enriching vacation while you’re away. Unlike traditional kennels, all our board and train dogs live in our home as part of the family. They enjoy nature walks, engaging enrichment activities, and multiple daily training sessions. Stay connected with daily updates, including pictures and videos of your dog’s progress. Give your dog a home away from home with Wildmour K9!
