This guide covers what board and train is, how a well-designed program actually functions, which dogs benefit most, how long it takes, and what separates a program worth your money from one that isn’t.

At CDT, great training doesn't happen without great support. Our Kennel Technician(s) are the backbone of our operations, the people who makes sure every dog is cared for, every space is clean, and every detail is tracked so our training programs run exactly the way they're supposed to. This is a full-time, permanent position based at our 40-acre property east of Calgary. It's physical, structured, and deeply important work. And for the right person, it's just the beginning..

If you want a label: technically, we are balanced trainers. But if that word makes you nervous, keep reading. What it means in practice is probably not what you’re imagining.
