Board & Train at Tipp to Tail Pet Resort

Professional Training. Peace of Mind. Real Results.

Our Board & Train program is designed for dog owners who are ready for meaningful progress and long-lasting skills – beyond what traditional classes or short day sessions can offer. For 12 days, your dog stays with us and works one-on-one with a certified professional trainer in a structured, positive environment focused on learning, enrichment, and comfort.

And because we’re proudly partnered with Tipp City Veterinary Hospital, your dog’s stay includes the added confidence of onsite veterinary support – something you won’t find at other training facilities or in-home training scenarios.

Who This Program is Designed For

This is the right fit if your dog is:

  1. Jumping, pulling, or struggling to focus
  2. Needing a solid foundation of obedience or manners
  3. Overly excited when meeting new people or dogs
  4. Having difficulty responding reliably amid distractions
  5. Ready to take the next step in training – and you want expert support

Dogs must be at least 6 months old and able to succeed in a structured facility environment. A free pre-enrollment consultation ensures the program is a great match.

What Makes Our Program Different

Exclusively Positive Reinforcement Training

We use modern, reward-based training grounded in behavioral science. No shock collars. No prong collars. No fear-based methods.
Your dog’s confidence and emotional well-being matter – and they learn faster when they feel safe.

Veterinary-Supported, Pet-First Care

Your dog lodges at our award-winning Pet Resort and has access to veterinary care next door at Tipp City Veterinary Hospital. This means:

  1. Health concerns can be promptly addressed
  2. Medication and dietary needs are monitored
  3. You get peace of mind throughout their stay

Consistent 1:1 Training with Daily Progress Updates

You’ll see what your dog is learning every step of the way through daily photos and/or videos.
