Board and Train
Boarding and training at my house is not about sitting in a kennel and waiting for a training session every couple of hours. It is about living in a house and learning how to have good habits involving self control like waiting at doorways, staying off kitchen counters, and not impulsively barking at sights and sounds. It is about being calm while people enter the home and content while watching another dog get some attention. It is about waiting for invitation and having patience while waiting for the next game or activity. Your dog will learn to pay attention during distractions in a variety of environments.
Of course we will work on all the "obedient" things like polite leash walking, recall, and stay but the foundation behaviors will be emphasized because they make all the "obedience" training much easier for you and your dog.
And, yes, there will be some pen time for naps/sleeping and during times when I do not want dogs to mingle.
