The Urban Pooch Board and Train program, designed as a 2- or 4-week "camp" rather than a bootcamp, offers a force-free, personalized training experience for a maximum of three dogs per day. Owners collaborate with expert trainers to create a "Board and Train Roadmap," ranking their priorities across three core categories: Life Skills (obedience), Fitness Skills (confidence building using specialized equipment), and Tricks. Throughout their stay, dogs participate in daily "micro-sessions" totaling 45–60 minutes of training, with the potential to generalize their skills by assisting in LEVELS group classes. The program includes boarding at the Canine Life Center, weekday transport via the Playtime Express to the Training and Fitness Center, and private follow-up lessons to ensure long-term success.
