Dog Training Camps “Board and Train”

Board and Train
Our “Dog Training Camp” Program

Our “Dog Boarding Resort” is located just west of Chicago in Downers Grove, Illinois.

Are you looking for a jump-start or faster track for your dog’s training progress? Are you busy with life and trying to juggle everyone’s needs? We have the solution! When you let your dog stay and learn with Kristy and Ian in their home, your dog will be mentally & physically stimulated while getting lots of love and snuggles. The focus will be on your top training priorities. Your dog will enjoy training sessions, walks, socialization with people and dogs, and participation in field trip opportunities.

We are dedicated to the entire process. After your dog’s stay with us, we ensure that everything learned transfers back into your home and that you know exactly what to do. We teach you everything you need to know.

The Board & Train program at Smart Dogs is an immersion training program in our loving home environment. It is the most efficient and effective way to get things under control quickly. You will see an amazing difference in your dog’s self-control, confidence and obedience.

We teach your dog appropriate reactions to situations that arise in your everyday life. For the safety, pleasure, and comfort of our Board & Train canine guests, we only take 3-4 dogs at a time. This allows us to spend the maximum amount of quality time with your dog. They will be taught manners, skills, obedience and good behavior appropriate for both indoor and outdoor settings.

One-to-One Attention

“Kristy and Ian worked wonders on our little man, Blake. We brought Blake home to our other furry baby, Bella who is 7. They were not getting along at all. Bella was agitated by Blake’s “puppy” behavior and Blake was ill mannered.

Blake spent 5 days at Kristy and Ian’s home. We CANNOT believe the amazing change in him! Blake has settled down considerably. He listens to commands, he does not bother Bella like he used to, he FINALLY sleeps through the night…but most importantly, Blake’s screaming and howling when we are not in the room with him has stopped.

We are absolutely amazed at the work Kristy and Ian have done with Blake! We went from frustrated puppy parents to happy puppy parents. I will recommend Smart Dogs Training to anyone who will listen!”
