Dog Board and Train Bay Area
Evaluation
At Benchmark Dog Training, our board and train programs are designed to transform unwanted behaviors into positive habits. It all starts with a consultation and a thorough evaluation of your dog, where we learn about your goals and tailor a training plan to fit your needs.
In just a few weeks, your dog can go from unruly and disobedient to focused, well-mannered, and a joy to be around. Say goodbye to unwanted behaviors and hello to a respectful, loving companionship.
At Benchmark Dog Training, our goal is to make board and train a positive experience for both dogs and their owners, setting the stage for a lifetime of great memories together. Have questions about our programs?
