HYBRID PROGRAM - Best of Both Worlds

Our Hybrid Program brings you the best of both worlds — the personal touch of private lessons combined with the professional polish of a Board & Train.

Your dog gets the daily, focused training they need in a cozy, real-home environment, while you get the hands-on support to feel confident every step of the way.
It’s the perfect balance: your dog learns faster, you stay connected, and together you build something that lasts a lifetime.

4 Week Hybrid Program  - $3500

How It Works:

  • Two Weeks of Board & Train:
    Your dog stays with us — living in a safe, welcoming home — and receives daily, real-world training from a professional.

  • Two Weeks of Private Lessons:
    After their stay, we’ll meet with you twice a week at your home, teaching you how to keep the progress going and make it part of everyday life.

We don’t just train your dog — we help you and your dog grow together.


With expert guidance, real-world experience, and a whole lot of heart, you’ll both be set up for success, long after training ends.

This program includes:

  • Daily videos and updates

  • 2 Weeks of private lessons wherever you choose (your home, park, public cafe, anywhere!) 

  • 2 Weeks of immersive training in the safety and comfort of a private home not a kennel!

  • Lifetime support for YOU and your dog

Debary, FL

Paige is AMAZING! She turned my little terror into an Angel!! I get so many compliments on how well behaved he is everywhere I go. It brings such a smile to my face because before the board and train it was very stressful to take him anywhere. Not anymore! He goes everywhere with me. I highly recommend Paige and Vanessa for any training needs.

Vanessa and Sam were great with my Lily Bean. I had been working with another trainer without results.In just 4 weeks I see such a difference in Lily. Not only did they know how to train my adolescent dog, you could tell how much they enjoyed working with her. Thank. you so much!
