Your dog lives in the home of one of our military veteran dog trainers. That trainer provides daily care and hands-on training, with professional structure and support from ONL Wichita.
- Two weeks of immersive training in a military veteran trainer’s home
- Household manners and calm routines
- Real-world training around everyday distractions

What your dog works on.
The two-week program teaches come, sit, place, heel, down, and off, along with load up and door manners. Your trainer works with your dog around multiple distractions in different environments, helping connect those commands to everyday life. Training is tailored to your dog’s starting point and goals.
Home-based training with an owner handoff.
Your dog lives in a military veteran dog trainer’s home throughout the program. That trainer provides both your dog’s daily care and hands-on training, with support from ONL Wichita. You receive daily updates from your trainer with a photo or video of your dog in training, plus a before-and-after training video. Upon completion, you receive a 2–3 hour one-on-one session covering your dog’s behavior, handling, commands, and how to continue the work at home. Contact us to confirm placement availability and your program dates.
Program price and choosing the right fit.
Board & Train is $3,000 cash. Before booking, tell us your dog’s age, training history, behavior concerns, and what you want to change. The team confirms suitability and placement. If you want to work alongside your trainer throughout the process, private lessons may fit better. If you need overnight care while you travel, regular Luxury Dog Boarding is a separate service in Augusta at $75 per day.
Your questions, answered.
How long is Board & Train?
The program includes two weeks of immersive training while your dog lives with a military veteran dog trainer.
Who houses and trains my dog?
Your dog stays in the home of one of our military veteran dog trainers. Our veteran trainers provide the housing, daily care, and training throughout the program.
Is Board & Train the same as dog boarding?
No. Board & Train is a dedicated training program in a veteran trainer’s home. Regular dog boarding is a cabin stay in Augusta for daily care while you are away.
Do you offer dog boot camp?
People sometimes use dog boot camp or residential dog training to describe Board & Train. Our program is home-based and includes owner instruction so you can continue the work.
Will I learn how to maintain the training?
Yes. Upon completion, you receive a 2–3 hour one-on-one session to learn about your dog’s behavior and how to handle and maintain the training. Consistent practice at home remains important.
Can families outside Wichita enroll?
Regional placements are considered within roughly 100 miles, depending on the dog, program, trainer availability, and schedule. Call with your location to confirm.
