Training at An Tara is about creating confident dogs, clear communication, and skills that work in everyday life.
Every dog is different, which is why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Training is tailored to the individual dog's age, temperament, experience, lifestyle, and training goals, with programs designed to build practical skills that transfer beyond our facility and into life at home.
Our training programs focus on building a well-rounded dog through structure, consistency, engagement, and clear communication.
Depending on your dog's individual needs, training may include:
Training goals are discussed before beginning so we can recommend the program best suited to you and your dog.
Already boarding with us?
Training sessions may be added to eligible boarding stays, allowing us to work on specific skills while your dog is already in our care.
This can be ideal for refreshing existing training, improving leash manners, practicing obedience, or working toward a particular goal without enrolling in a longer training program.
Availability and suitability are determined individually.
Think daycare—with a little extra homework.
Our Day & Train option allows your dog to spend the day with us while receiving dedicated individual training sessions throughout their visit.
Depending on the dog, their day may combine structured training, appropriate socialization, enrichment, exercise, rest, and supervised daycare participation.
Day & Train can be a great option for dogs who need help developing or reinforcing everyday skills without requiring an overnight stay.
Our Board & Train programs provide a more immersive training experience.
Your dog stays with us while receiving consistent training and structure throughout their day—not simply during individual training sessions.
Programs are customized around the dog and may focus on obedience, leash skills, recall, impulse control, confidence, household manners, and other agreed-upon goals.
Board & Train length and pricing vary depending on the dog's needs, goals, and length of stay.

There is no magic timeline and no two dogs learn exactly the same way.
Age, temperament, previous experiences, consistency at home, environment, and the behaviors being addressed can all influence a dog's progress.
Our goal is not simply to teach commands. We want to help dogs develop better communication, confidence, self-control, and practical skills that make everyday life together easier and more enjoyable.
Contact us to discuss your dog, the areas you'd like help with, and your goals. We'll help determine which An Tara training option is the best fit.
