This location offers boarding, board&train and daycare and dayschool for all types of dogs, even cautious dogs. For private lessons and classes, please see our Training Center at 416 Fillmore St. Our goal is to strengthen the bond between you and your companion animal. We believe in the natural science of behavior. Our training and behavior change programs are geared towards real-world behavior engineering, making it more efficient and effective.

We pride ourselves on staying educated and current on all the newest developments and training methods so we may better serve you and your companion animal.

How long do the pups spend crated for a 4 hour stay ?
It depends on the puppy. Play time is 5min- 15min each time and they play several times. If you sign up for dayschool it includes 10min of B&B pup club which is a course they do by themselves and they also get 30min of training. If they are shy or get overwhelmed at first they come out often but get several brakes. We are installing cameras here soon. I hope this helps.

What days are your classes?
They have classes every day, just depends on what classes your looking for. On their website, if you go to register now it shows all upcoming classes with the dates, times and prices. If there is a class you want that you don't see in their upcoming classes list, let them know, you could be the one more person they were waiting for to express interest before offering that class.

We’ve been taking our pup to House of Dog for boarding for almost two years. They have always been excellent and our girl is clearly loved and taken care of. Highly recommend House of Dog to anyone in need of boarding services!
House of Dog has taken incredible care of my sweet Keeva every time, if it’s for a long weekend or just overnight. I appreciate the kindness of the staff, and it’s so evident that they enjoy their work! Thank you from Keeva and me!
Best place ever to leave your pup. They truly care, and my dog always comes back having enjoyed a great day. They keep a very clean area. They care deeply about the dogs. 💖👌🏼 they are truly the best.

I'm so glad a friend recommended House of Dog Training. We've had two private sessions with Brian and he's helped tremendously with our 8-month old rescue puppy, who is anxious and reactive. We also just tried the Growl Class and will be taking our dog to more sessions. Brian is so knowledgeable about how to best work with our dog. I appreciate his calmness and his love for dogs, which is so evident with how he interacts with our puppy.
