A more individualized way to stay away from home.

Your dog goes on sabbatical. You get a little breathing room.

The Sabbatical is a private, in-home board + train program for puppies and young dogs approximately eight weeks to two years old. Rather than staying in a large kennel environment, your dog stays in my home while receiving individualized training, enrichment, real-life experience, and support. You stay looped in with their progress via text, photo, video and email updates throughout!

The goal is not to send home a magically "finished" dog. It is to create meaningful progress and then help that progress make sense when your dog returns to real life with you. Then, continuing that progress alongside you.

Best fit for

• Puppies and young dogs
• Families who need intensive hands-on support
• Busy schedules and overwhelm
• Building foundational life skills
• Dogs who benefit from individualized attention
• Families who value a home-based environment

Private, in-home board + train with individualized training, enrichment, real-life skill building, and care while your pup enjoys a one-on-one experience in my home.
