About Us

"Fran is a a miracle worker! Our Bernese mountain dog puppy was much larger than she was well behaved. We were struggling with basic commands like “come” and keeping her from jumping on guests and our small children. When we went to our training session with Amber, our dog was transformed! Fran even came to our home to help us encourage Artemis to enthusiastically walk down our basement steps (before she had had an irrational fear of the steps). Both Amber and Francine were excellent to work with- we really appreciated Amber’s communication during the weeks they were caring for Artemis. Our dog is so well behaved & happy. D.O.G Board N Train has benefited our entire family. We will certainly bring all future dog family members to Fran and her excellent team."

"I can't even begin to say how happy and impressed I am at how D.O.G Board N' Train has transformed my dog, Benny. Before going to training, Benny used to bark at everything - people, dogs, leaves blowing past him, and even fire hydrants. He was so embarrassing to take out to public places and even taking him out to use the bathroom would give me anxiety. So Benny never went out to places because I would die of embarrassment every time.

The twice a week "pupdates" sent out during Benny's 5 week stay really keep you on the loop of how your dog is doing. But the best part of the program is when you get to go visit and see for yourself how your dog is progressing. After finishing the 5 week program, Benny is a whole new dog. He is no longer distracted when walking, listens to commands at home, and is just all around a much better dog. Amber and Francine did a great job in training him. I told Amber and Francine that my main goal for sending him to D.O.G Board N' Train was to have a dog that I can enjoy spending time with. And that's exactly what they gave me."

"We had the best experience having our 6 month old German Shorthaired Pointer trained at DOG Board n Train. It was a challenge for us to think about being separated for over 4 weeks but the time flew by and they were so good about giving us regular updates and pictures.  Our main concerns were running out the door into the street and not coming back when called. When our pup returned from DOG, she was so well behaved and had learned to return when called, heel on leash, sit/stay in place, wait (no more rushing out the door) and more. And honestly the best review is that when we took her back for boarding while we traveled she ran right in and didn’t look back - so clearly she enjoyed her time there too! The staff was wonderful and you could tell they care as much for our pup as we do!  We’re so happy to have worked with Francine and her team!"
