MEET YOUR TRAINER

Most kennels have a trainer. Very few have Sarah.

Sarah Bostock is as approachable as she is credentialed. Whether you have a new puppy or a dog with serious behavior challenges, she’s seen it before and knows exactly what to do.

  • BS Biology & Psychology, UCF — focused on animal behavior
  • Wolf educator under Dr. David Mech, one of the world’s leading wolf biologists
  • Educator at Sea World — interned at zoos and animal sanctuaries
  • Specializes in reactivity, aggression, and behavior modification
  • Works with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments

THE SMART FIRST STEP

Know exactly what your dog needs before you commit.

Not every dog benefits from the same training. A $100 assessment with Sarah helps us understand your dog and recommend exactly the right program — so you’re not guessing and your dog isn’t in the wrong class.

GROUP CLASSES

A program for every dog

Our group classes follow a progressive path — each level building on the last. Every class is taught by Sarah in our climate-controlled indoor training facility, open year-round.

GROUP CLASS

COMMON QUESTIONS

We’d rather you ask than wonder

Do I need an assessment first?

An assessment with Sarah is recommended before booking — it helps us build the right program for your specific dog. A phone call is required before booking Board & Train. Call us at 763-220-5885.

Can you work with reactive or aggressive dogs?

Yes — this is one of Sarah’s specialties. Call and tell us about your situation. We’ll be honest about whether we’re the right fit.

Can I combine training with daycare or boarding?

Absolutely. Current boarding clients can add a training session onto their stay. Many daycare clients also add training on the same visit. Board & Train combines full boarding with daily training.

Is your facility open in winter?

Yes. Our indoor training building is climate-controlled and available year-round. Minnesota winters are no excuse to stop training.

How long until I see results?

Depends on the dog and the program. Most clients see meaningful progress within the first few sessions. Board & Train produces the most accelerated results.

Are children allowed in classes?

Yes — children are welcome in all classes, but must be accompanied by an adult.

Your dog is ready. Are you?

Schedule a training assessment with Sarah. 45 minutes that changes how you understand your dog and gives you a clear plan for what comes next.
