Board & Train in Portland: Quick Answers

How much is board and train in Portland?

Sport Board & Train is $150 per night and Behavior Board & Train is $175 per night. Both combine overnight boarding with daily individualized training.

What is the difference between the two?

Sport B&T builds sports and adventure skills: agility, recall, swimming. Behavior B&T is immersive behavior work for reactivity, fear, anxiety, and impulse control.

Does board and train actually work?

It is where the fastest progress happens because repetition is consistent, timed professionally, and runs all day rather than in a weekly hour.

What methods do you use?

Positive reinforcement, Fear Free practices, and LIMA principles. Never prong collars, shock collars, or corrections, even for behavior cases.

Do you take reactive or bite-history dogs?

Yes. Behavior Board & Train exists for exactly those dogs. A certified trainer is on every shift.

What happens when my dog comes home?

You receive a handoff session and training journal so the skills transfer to you. Progress that stays at the facility is not progress.

Two Board & Train Programs, Built for Different Goals

Sport Board & Train · $150 per night

Immersive training for dogs who thrive on sport, adventure, and skill-building. Daily sessions may include agility, off-leash recall, swimming, herding instincts, and hiking readiness, alongside boarding and enrichment. It is a great fit for high-drive dogs who need a job and for families who want a reliable off-leash companion for trails and travel.

Behavior Modification Board & Train · $175 per night

Our most comprehensive program for reactivity, fear, anxiety, resource guarding, and impulse control. Your dog lives with structure around the clock while a certified trainer works daily on changing the underlying emotion, not just suppressing the visible behavior. It is a great value for a full board and train because the boarding and the training happen together.

Why Immersion Works

A weekly hour of training asks a dog to learn in the gaps between long stretches of rehearsing old habits. Board and train removes those gaps. Every walk, every meal, every greeting becomes a repetition with professional timing, which is why dogs often make more progress in one week than in months of weekly sessions.

The Handoff Matters Most

Skills that live only at the facility are not the goal. Every board and train includes a handoff session where you learn exactly what your dog learned and how to maintain it, plus a training journal and follow-up guidance. Many families pair the program with a private session or two at home to lock it in.

Who Runs the Program

Our trainers include a Victoria Stilwell Academy certified trainer, an IAABC accredited trainer holding a Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis, and CATCH Academy and PST-CI certified trainers. Every trainer completes six continuing education credits per month. We use positive reinforcement, Fear Free practices, choice-based training, and LIMA principles throughout. Meet them on our team page.
