Living With a Dog You Can’t Control Is Exhausting

If any of these sound like your daily life, Board & Train was built for you.

×

You can’t have guests over

Every doorbell is a crisis. Lunging, barking, snapping. You’ve stopped inviting people to your home.

×

Walks are a nightmare

You plan routes to avoid other dogs. You cross the street when someone approaches. You dread the leash.

×

Other trainers gave up

You’ve spent hundreds, maybe thousands, on trainers who couldn’t handle your dog. Some even told you it was hopeless.

×

You’re worried about your family

Kids, visitors, other pets. You’re constantly managing the situation instead of enjoying your dog.

×

You’ve considered rehoming

You love your dog but you’re running out of options. The guilt is real, but so is the stress.

×

Your dog is destroying your home

Furniture, doors, crates, walls. The anxiety and energy has nowhere to go, and your house is paying the price.

🐾

There’s Still a Great Dog in There.

Every dog we’ve transformed started exactly where yours is right now. Aggressive. Reactive. “Untrainable.” Our military-grade training methods were designed for the hardest cases. Your dog isn’t broken. They just need the right program.

Meet Our Head Trainer

Elite Military K9 Methods. Now Helping Rochester Families.

Mo isn’t your typical dog trainer.

After serving as a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and SRT team member, Mo discovered his calling working with Military Working Dogs in high-stakes environments where precision and trust matter most. He went on to train police K9s before dedicating those skills to a new mission: helping everyday families build better relationships with their dogs.

Today, Mo brings the same structured, disciplined approach that shaped military and police K9s to private lessons for Rochester dog owners. Whether your dog needs basic obedience, better leash manners, or help with challenging behaviors, Mo builds a custom plan and coaches you through every step so results stick at home.

What Rochester Dog Owners Say

“Our dog was aggressive with strangers and other dogs. After 4 weeks of Board & Train, he’s a completely different animal. They taught us how to keep the results going at home.”
Complete behavioral transformation in 4 weeks

Mike R.
Pittsford, NY
“We were told our rescue was too reactive and would never be safe around kids. K9OA took him for 4 weeks and proved everyone wrong. Patient, professional, and they never gave up.”
From reactive to calm in one month
S

Common Questions

Board & Train FAQs

Board & Train programs are available in 3, 4, or 5 week options. The right length depends on your dog’s specific behavioral challenges and goals. We’ll discuss the right timeline during your free consultation.
Your dog lives with us and trains daily in structured sessions. We work on obedience, behavioral modification, socialization, and whatever specific issues your dog is dealing with. You receive regular video updates so you can see the progress in real time.
We generally recommend limiting visits during the first two weeks so your dog can fully focus on training. After that, we schedule owner coaching sessions where you learn the commands and techniques your dog has mastered. This transition period is critical to making sure results last at home.
Board & Train is available for all breeds and ages, but it’s specifically designed for dogs with serious behavioral challenges: aggression, reactivity, severe anxiety, destructive behavior, or dogs that other trainers have given up on. We’ll assess your dog during the free consultation to make sure this is the right fit.
That’s exactly who this program is for. Our head trainer comes from a military and police K9 background. The methods we use were developed for high-drive, high-intensity dogs in life-or-death environments. If your dog has been labeled ‘unadoptable’ or ‘too aggressive,’ we specialize in proving that wrong.
Board & Train pricing is customized based on your dog’s needs and the program length. Book a free consultation and we’ll give you a detailed quote after assessing your dog.
Before your dog comes home, we run multiple owner coaching sessions where you learn every command, technique, and routine. We don’t just hand your dog back and wish you luck. We make sure YOU know how to maintain the transformation. Plus, lifetime support is included, so if you ever have questions or see any regression, we’re a call or text away.
