Board and Train Dog Training in New York
At Certified Canine Services, dog training goes beyond occasional lessons. Our board and train programs give dogs a dedicated environment to learn, practice, and build reliable skills while staying at our professional training facility in Pulaski, NY.
What Makes Our Board and Train Approach Different?
Unlike traditional dog training classes that meet for an hour at a time, our training model is built around dogs staying at our facility throughout their enrolled programs.
This approach allows our trainers to provide consistent instruction, reinforce commands, and develop practical skills in a structured environment.
Benefits of our stay-and-train approach:
- Consistent, hands-on training and practice
- Individualized instruction based on each dog’s needs
- Structured routines for learning, exercise, and rest
- Professional care throughout each dog’s stay
- Owner guidance to help maintain progress at home
Explore Our Dog Training Programs
Every dog has different training needs. Certified Canine Services offers several programs designed around specific goals, from everyday obedience to specialized canine work.
Our residential obedience camps offer 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-week training options designed to develop reliable commands, better leash manners, and improved everyday behavior.
Our puppy training programs help young dogs establish positive habits, learn foundational commands, and develop appropriate behaviors during important stages of growth.
Our service dog training programs prepare suitable dogs for dependable obedience, public-access environments, and individualized disability-related tasks.
Our therapy dog training programs focus on reliable obedience, appropriate social behavior, and preparing suitable dogs for therapy-related activities.
A Facility Designed for Training and Care
Because dogs stay with us during training, their comfort, safety, and daily care are essential parts of our approach.
Our Pulaski, NY, facility features climate-controlled kennels, dedicated indoor training areas, and outdoor spaces for exercise and structured practice.
Having training and daily care in one location helps provide a consistent environment throughout each dog’s stay.
We also offer standalone overnight dog boarding for owners who need accommodations without enrolling in a training program.
Start With a Dog Training Evaluation
Not sure which training program is right for your dog? Our professional training evaluation is designed to help us understand your dog’s behavior, environment, and individual training needs.
During your evaluation, we’ll discuss the challenges you’re experiencing, identify potential training goals, and help you explore the programs best suited to your dog.
You’ll also have an opportunity to meet our team and see the environment where your dog would stay during training.
How Our Board and Train Programs Work
Our trainers help you determine which program best fits your dog’s age, behavior, experience, and training goals. If you’re unsure where to start, a professional dog training evaluation can help guide your decision.
During their enrolled training program, your dog stays at our Pulaski facility, receiving professional instruction, daily care, and structured activities.
Our trainers work with your dog to develop obedience, reinforce commands, and practice appropriate behaviors in different environments.
When training is complete, we provide owner instruction and guidance to help you understand your dog’s learned commands and maintain progress at home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Board and Train
Does my dog stay at your facility during training?
Yes. Our board-and-train programs involve dogs staying at our Pulaski facility throughout their enrolled training program rather than attending traditional weekly classes.
How long does board and train take?
Program length depends on your dog’s age, behavior, and training goals. Our obedience camps include options ranging from two to six weeks, as well as a shorter manners camp. Specialized programs may follow different schedules.
Can board and train help with behavioral problems?
Our programs can address common challenges such as leash pulling, jumping, unreliable commands, and poor everyday manners. Dogs with more complex behavioral concerns require an evaluation to determine an appropriate training approach.
What happens after my dog comes home?
Our trainers provide owner instruction and follow-up guidance based on the selected program. Continued practice at home is important for maintaining your dog’s progress.
Can I enroll my dog if I live outside Central New York?
Yes. We serve dog owners throughout New York State and surrounding areas, with transportation coordination available for eligible training programs.
