Professional training without a long separation.
A hybrid format built to bridge our place and yours.
Board & train
More repetition. More real-world practice.
Multiple focused sessions, structured rest and carefully increased distractions give your dog time to learn a new foundation before you continue the work together at home.
01
Foundation
Build clear communication: Your dog learns how to engage, respond and understand what is expected through consistent daily handling.
02
Reliability
Practise beyond the training room: Skills are developed around movement, everyday routines and gradually increased distractions—not only in a quiet session.
03
Transfer
Bring the training home: You learn the same structure, tools and communication so the progress can carry into your household and daily life.
Purpose-built facility
A controlled setting for serious learning.
Training takes place at Endeavour K9’s 12,000 sq. ft. facility on 44 private acres, with indoor and outdoor space for structured sessions, individual handling and real-world skill building.
The hybrid format
We start the work. Then we build it with you.
The program is immersive, but it is not a hand-off. Long-term change depends on teaching both ends of the leash and practising the same expectations at home. We take just two training dogs at a time, combined across day training and board & train.
Step 01
Evaluation
We assess your dog’s temperament, behaviour, baseline skills and the way you work together. The evaluation determines eligibility and the right training path.
Step 02
Weekday immersion
Your dog stays Monday morning through Friday evening for focused training, structure and rest. Sessions are planned around the individual dog and agreed goals.
Step 03
Weekend practice
Your dog goes home on weekends, creating regular opportunities to practise the new foundation with you. Consistency at home helps prevent old patterns from returning.
Step 04
Owner coaching
You learn how to use the same communication, routines and boundaries in everyday life. The goal is a dog that responds to you—not only to the trainer.
Bridging the gap
The handover is part of the training.
Behaviour is connected to environment and relationships. That is why your participation matters throughout the program and after your dog comes home.
01
Use the same tools and communication taught during the program.
02
Keep structure and clear boundaries in your dog’s daily routine.
03
Practise consistently so new skills become dependable habits.
BOARD & TRAIN PROGRAMS
Board & train programs
Every program begins with a training evaluation and includes weekday training, weekend practice at home, and owner coaching to transfer the skills to you.
The Tune-Up
A shorter weekday stay built around a focused goal — a refresher on known skills, an introduction to a structured routine, or a tune-up after previous training. Your dog trains Monday to Friday and goes home on weekends, just like our longer stays. Best for social, outgoing dogs, puppies without behaviour concerns, or previous clients who need a short reset.

Launch Pad
Two full weeks of weekday training to build a stronger foundation of obedience, manners and engagement. With more repetitions than The Tune-Up, your dog develops clearer communication and more dependable habits, then practises them with you at home on weekends. A solid choice for dogs that need a real reset and owners who want reliable everyday behaviour. Book a free training consultation →
The Immersion
An intensive training block designed to create real momentum, paired with owner coaching so you can carry the progress forward. Your dog does the heavy lifting of learning new skills during the week; you learn the handling and structure to keep those skills growing at home. Ideal when you want professional results started now and are ready to stay involved. Book a free training consultation →
Signature Stay
Our most individualized stay, with the highest level of one-on-one attention. The plan, the handling and the coaching are tailored around your dog and your goals, giving you the most personal, hands-on training experience we offer. For owners who want maximum personalization and a program shaped entirely around their dog. Book a free training consultation →
Reboot
An extended stay for dogs working through reactivity, fear, anxiety, aggression or other challenging behaviours. The program is individualized around your dog’s temperament and safety, with goals set at the evaluation and progress built carefully in a controlled setting. For dogs that need more time, more expertise and the right environment to change long-standing patterns. Book a free training consultation →
Training goals
Build the skills that make life together easier.
Board & train can address everyday obedience and more challenging behaviour. Your evaluation determines whether the program is appropriate for your dog.
What the evaluation covers
A focused 60-minute session at the Endeavour K9 facility.
Dogs enrolled in training must be comfortable resting in a crate or kennel between sessions.
Board & train programs start at $1,500 + HST. Final pricing depends on your goals and length of stay.
Our starting price covers shorter stays, best suited to social, outgoing dogs and puppies without behaviour concerns, or dogs who’ve trained with us before and need a refresher. Extended training, off-leash work, and behaviour modification will require longer programs. At your evaluation, we’ll recommend the best fit based on your dog’s needs and your goals, with your dog’s progress guiding the training.
