Board & Train Program
Give your dog the structure, consistency, and training needed to become a well-mannered companion at home and in public.
​
Our Board & Train program provides focused daily training, real-world socialization, and personalized guidance to help your dog build lasting obedience skills.
How the Program Works
During our Board & Train program, your dog stays at Mountain View Kennel and receives multiple daily training sessions, along with walks, outings, and real-world socialization.
​
Each dog receives individualized attention and training tailored to their personality, behavior, and learning style.
​
Training focuses on building a well-rounded family dog while improving common behavior challenges.​​
​
Program Length
​
Most dogs begin with a 30-day training program, though the exact length may vary depending on the dog's age, temperament, and previous training experience.
​
Training typically ranges from 3–6 weeks to reach the desired goals.

Testimonials
Such a change! Our dogs pay attention now, they look up at us waiting for instructions, no more jumping, walk without dragging me down the road, much calmer puppies, if anyone knows Catahoulas… they are stubborn… Vicky got through to them and taught them well. We are looking forward to having happy obedient boys . Thanks to Vicky for all her work, it shows on how well the boys behave now.
Tulip L’Angel
Vikki worked with our very stubborn spaniel just about five weeks. When we finally brought him home he was way better. His recall improved so much. We have two cats at home that he would absolutely not leave alone at first as well. We would have to separate and yell at him constantly. Now he always listens with leave it and pretty much ignores them completely. Bleu is also no longer trying to dig up and eat weed cloth we have around our landscaping!
Allyson C
Our high energy and stubborn pup was giving us fits. On a recommendation, we had him stay with Vicki for 4 weeks. He improved so much over that time and is now much better behaved. If you are feeling lost in how to train your dog, you can't ask for a better guide than Vicki. Thanks for the help!
