Board & Train
in Greensboro, NC
Professional Training Done for You
Our board and train programs are a great option for dog owners who do not have the time for consistent private lessons or daily training work between sessions. These programs are also ideal for owners who would rather have a professional handle the training process to ensure reliable, high-quality results.
At Spence K9 Academy, your dog lives and trains in a structured environment where obedience, manners, confidence, and reliability are developed through daily hands-on training.
We currently offer multiple board and train options designed for different ages, behaviors, and training goals.
What Our Board and Train Program Covers
- On-leash and off-leash obedience
- Reliable recall (coming when called)
- Leash manners and structured walking
- Place command and impulse control
- House manners and boundaries
- Socialization and environmental exposure
Every program is tailored to your dog’s age, temperament, and behavior.
Ideal for Dogs That Need More Structure
Board and train is especially effective for:
- Dogs that don’t listen consistently
- High-energy or stubborn dogs
- Owners who don’t have time to train daily
- Dogs needing a strong obedience foundation
- Dogs that need immersion-style training
This program creates momentum quickly because your dog is learning every day, not just once a week.
