WE DON'T "FIX" DOGS, WE SET YOU UP FOR SUCCESS.
Our board and train programs build skills on both ends of the leash so your progress lasts long after pickup day.
Calgary Board and Train Programs for Personalized Results
Expert guidance for you and your dog.
Our board and train programs help you address three key dog training challenges:
Time constraints: You're busy, and DIY solutions are time consuming and inconvenient. Our intensive board and train delivers results in just 4–8 weeks, saving you months of effort.
Consistency: With a full household and a demanding schedule, creating behavior change can feel impossible. We provide 24/7 immersive training so your dog receives constant reinforcement and practice.
DIY knowledge gap: You don't know what you don't know. Dog training is complex, and you shouldn’t have to be an expert. Our trainers use proven methods to build skills and tackle behavioral issues effectively.
We transform your dog's behavior while you focus on your daily life. You’ll bring home a well-mannered companion and receive the tools you need to maintain the results. Our program offers a time-efficient, expert-led solution that creates lasting change and empowers you to keep your dog’s new skills going at home.
Our board and train programs are hosted on 40 beautiful acres where your dog can decompress, explore, and learn.
Your dog will receive personalized exercise, enrichment, and education tailored to their needs and your training goals.
Throughout the board and train, you'll receive updates, written progress reports, and access to resources that support your training journey.
During your dog's stay, we also ensure you gain the skills and confidence to fit training into your lifestyle so it remains sustainable long term.
Our board and train programs can focus on key areas, including:
-
puppy socialization and raising
-
basic and advanced obedience
-
anxiety reduction
-
confidence building
-
behavior modification for reactivity, aggression, and resource guarding
Success Stories: Erica & Wilfred
"Our Lab joined Tamara for a 6 week board and train session to work on some anxiety and reactivity. He came home a different dog - literally. Well, the same, loveable companion but without the anxiety and bad behaviours that were very risky and no fun (put gently).
It's worth noting that prior to CDT, we did do two sessions of training with a very reputable company in Calgary but they didn't help us at all with the mindsets and drives needed to succeed which was the main thing we needed as it turns out!
We cannot say enough about our positive experience with Tamara and her team. She was able to get to the core issues quickly, build new behaviours and teach us how to (easily) keep it going. We are so grateful. Because of this, we are able to enjoy life with our dog like we always dreamed we could!
Her communication and resources are incredible and it's clear she is a very talented trainer. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for general training - or to help rehab a dog."

Success Stories: Wade and Charlie
"Prior to the board and train myself and my 7 month old pup Charlie were having quite a few challenges in the real world. I was beginning to dread social outings and even daily walks.
I am thrilled and amazed that once the program was complete my Charlie literally feels like a transformed dog! They worked on all of the leash skills, socialization skills, and every day skills to give Charlie the confidence and calmness to live with way less anxiety and stress. Maybe more importantly Tamara and her team gave me the instruction and take home tools to continue the success they had with Charlie and give me the confidence to be a good dog owner."
Who's This Program For?
🐾You’ve hit a wall with DIY training
You’ve tried classes, online courses, YouTube...and your dog still acts like a menace.
🐾 You’re too busy to do it all yourself
You love your dog, but between work and life, training keeps sliding off the to-do list.
🐾 You’re dealing with big feelings
Reactivity, over-arousal, anxiety, fear, resource guarding. Whatever the flavor, your dog needs more than a leash walk and a licki-mat.
🐾 You want consistency, not chaos
You’re tired of mixed messages, family inconsistency, and training that unravels the second someone forgets to follow-through.
🐾 You’ve got a good dog… they're just a lot right now
You see the potential. You just need help dialing in the chaos and building the foundation.
🐾You dream of off-leash freedom
Whether it’s private dog parks, backyard BBQs, or off-grid camping — you want a dog who can enjoy life right along side you. Without the hassle of a tangled long-line.
If you’re ready to stop managing problems and start building skills, with clear coaching and a structured plan, board and train was built for you.
