Board and Train Programs for Dogs.
Intensive courses hosted by our professional dog trainers.
The Board and Train program at Wag Ur Tail Dog Training is an intensive course offered in the Virginia area that involves daily one-on-one training with one of our professional dog trainers and your dog exclusively. Our clients bring their best friends from all over to partake in our board and train program.
In addition, your dog will live with the trainer and their family in their home in Virginia. Dogs do not stay in kennels at Wag Ur Tail Dog Training. They learn appropriate behaviors for living in your home by learning first hand (or is that first paw?) in the trainer’s home.
Whether you have a puppy who needs to be indoctrinated into “human-ese” or a dog with long-standing behavioral problem(s), the Board and Train program is the perfect setting for extinguishing problem behavior while building and reinforcing positive behavior instead.
Another advantage of the Board and Train program is that Mike and his trainers can customize the course for your individual needs. Wag Ur Tail Dog Training does not use a one-size-fits all training protocol, like shock collars. Some trainers may rely on shock collars, but Wag Ur Tail Dog Training employs methods and techniques that get solid results without the use of the shock collar.
The team also takes the time to show owner(s) how to train with their dog and get the same results he gets, building owner confidence as well as lasting results in the dog. Our goal is for dog owners to be able to rely on themselves to train and maintain their dogs rather than having to rely on a trainer when their dog needs to learn something new.
Most people do not have the time or the expertise to train their dogs effectively, causing unhappy living situations that could be eliminated by a relatively short course of training. We can fill that gap because the one-on-one exclusive attention he will give your dog will improve quality of life for all involved.
Dog’s who enter into our board and train program must be potty trained as they will spend a lot of time training in our home. For more information about our Board and Train or to schedule your dog’s 2 week or 3 week Board and Train course, call us at 540-324-3518.

Board and Train alumni have shared their success stories:
Buddy came home yesterday from his 2 week board and train with Mike and his family and, let me tell you, his whole demeanor has changed. He is still our same lovable goof ball but you can tell he has so much more confidence and is a lot more calm in the house when it is time to wind down. Mike also gave us a ton of tips on how to continue working with him, had a lot of info on the breed and was an all around great person to work with.
Mike took our out of control 9-month-old chocolate lab and turned him into a well-behaved, polite member of our household! I was at my wits’ end with CJ. Best investment ever! He can walk appropriately on a leash now with Mike’s recommended harness. He can stay in one place for a few minutes at a time. (Still working on that!) He’s exhibiting so much self-control regarding chewing, trash, rough play with with his shih tzu brother. Overall, he’s exactly what we wanted: a happy, energetic, well-behaved fur kid. I only wish we’d have met Mike 3-4 months sooner. Oh, one last thing. Mike’s been great with after care. He left us with advice, tools, and encouragement. He’s also contacted us several times to check in on CJ. Considering an investment in your dog? Call Mike.
