Board & Trains with Akela K9

Our Board & Train programs are designed to make everyday life with your dog easier. Your dog lives in a structured, training-focused environment on our 17-acre facility, learning how to relax, pay attention, and respond reliably in real-world situations. We focus on clear communication, obedience, confidence building, and lifestyle habits that last long after training ends.
