About Our Board and Train Dog Training

Transformation Academy

One of our most popular programs is our Weekday Board and Train Programs. When your dog is enrolled into one of our Board and Trains Programs, we do the hard work for you. We offer a Week Day Boarding Program Monday-Friday for two or three weeks.

Our trainers work with your dog using our unique Attention-Based Training System, using advanced technology to signal your dog when to look for commands. Your dog will receive one-on-one training with our team of instructors, learning foundational commands and obedience skills through real-world distractions. Our goal is to develop happy, confident, and obedient dogs while making the transition back home as smooth as possible.

Weekday Board & Train – A Focused Training Experience

Our Transformation Academy now operates as a weekday board-and-train program designed for maximum learning and consistency.

  • Dogs arrive on Monday morning and return home on Friday after a lesson with their owners.
  • They return for another week of training, with another lesson the following Friday to ensure progress.
  • Programs are available in 2-week and 3-week options, providing structured training and step-by-step owner education.

Why Choose Our Weekday Board & Train?

One of the biggest benefits of our program is that we handle much of the foundational training for you. Repetition and consistency are key to success, and our immersive training environment ensures your dog learns faster and retains their new skills. By the time we begin your Leadership Transfer Lessons, your dog has already established strong habits, making your training at home much easier.

Throughout the week, our trainers reinforce behavior continuously, providing structured training sessions while allowing time for socialization and supervised playgroups. This balanced approach keeps dogs engaged, mentally stimulated, and well-exercised.

What’s Included in the Transformation Academy?

All of our Transformation Academy Programs include:
Boarding & Training (Monday-Friday)
Private Lessons (at pickup each Friday)
Training Equipment
6-month or 9-month Membership to our weekly Group Classes

All-inclusive programs start at $2,800.

We adopted a doodle and almost couldn’t keep him—the experts at Sit Means Sit worked with us and with him to train ALL of us. Still high spirited, he now is a “good boy” and is an integral part of our family—don’t know what we’d do without him! The trainers are so skilled, professional and so patient—it made all the difference for our family! After the week of training, we used the group sessions for several months—excellent reinforcement.

Our sweet Sage is almost 4 years old and Sit Means Sit has changed her life- and ours too! Sage has a lot of anxiety, which has significantly impacted her health in the past. She excelled at the Sit Means Sit Board and Train for two weeks. We even had a home visit with Colby which was amazingly helpful! Since the training, our family can effectively communicate with Sage, which lessens her anxiety. She is happier and calmer than ever before. We can now bring Sage for walks that are enjoyable for her & us. She rides in the car like a champ, and kindly welcomes people into our home. This training has been a game changer for all of us! Thank you Colby, Drew & Kaitlyn (and all the staff and trainers)!!
