Board and Train Program for Pet Dogs

Kawa Farms K9 Training has offered a month-long Board and Train program since 2013. With this program, your dog stays with us at our facility for 4 weeks or more. We make an initial assessment and develop a tailored training program for your dog or puppy. Your dog is trained in all practical situations, inside and outside.

Your dog or puppy is worked around people and other dogs in many different environments. Regular visits are scheduled for you and your family to come in and learn to work under our supervision. These guided training sessions allow you to learn more about canine behavior. We teach you the exact methods we use in training your dog. Working with you ensures the new, positive behavior will transfer to your environment.

Behavioral Issues

Does your dog…
Act possessive of a thing or place, but has not bitten?
Act aggressive towards other dogs or people, but has not bitten?
Has problems with house training?
In general, has bad manners?

Would the problem you are having with your dog benefit from professional intervention?

Jennifer, Taylor, and the rest of the staff at Kawa Farms are truly exceptional in all they do. Jenn took our dog and me into a new world of positive, force-free training, and I am forever grateful for her help.  

She worked with our dog with compassion and patience to see the fun side of training. He loved it..and her too!   Her technique and knowledge of dogs are seriously unbelievable. I've never seen anyone hold the attention of a room full of dogs as she does!

We could have never overcome our challenges without Jenn or have the incredible relationship that we have with our dog. We love her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!!

I would never in a million years have thought that we would get our crazy fella Diesel to sit on that stool. This wasn't the exercise Jen had in mind, but it was still a major accomplishment for him.

 Before her help, he was an out-of-control dog that took off every time the door opened and was on medication. Yes, I said was. Thanks to Jen, he is no longer medicated. He still likes to take his runs from time to time but comes back when called.

Jen and Taylor, through their positive reinforcement, have given us the opportunity to enjoy our fur buddy. Talli Rose, our new German Shepard puppy, just joined our family, and I look forward to using what I have learned to teach her properly.

Thank you, Jen and Taylor, for your patience. Not only with teaching our pets but also teaching me too!!

My dog Delilah was a brand new dog when I got her back.  Her trainer was phenomenal. In just an hour, she taught me everything she taught Delilah.

She showed me what Delilah was receptive to and what she was still struggling with. She showed me how to keep up the training, and since then, Delilah has been a phenomenal companion. I am so grateful for Kawa Farms staff
