What is board and train dog training?

Board and train is a full-immersion dog training program where your dog lives with a professional trainer for a set period (typically 28 days at Unleash'd K9). Your dog receives daily structured training, real-world exposure, and socialization. At the end of the program, you receive a full drop-off session at your home to transfer all learned commands and behaviors.

At Unleash'd K9, our 4-Week Board & Train is $3,500, private sessions start at $150 per session (10-session package), puppy jumpstart is $499, group classes are $40 per dog, and dog boarding is $75 per night.

Sound Familiar?

YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.
NOTHING STICKS.

YouTube videos. Group classes. Treat-based gimmicks that work for five minutes and fall apart the second a real distraction shows up. You've done the reading. You've spent the money. And nothing holds.

That's not a dog problem. That's a missing foundation problem — on both ends of the leash. We fix both. Permanently.

Get the Root Cause Fixed

Pulls so hard on the leash your shoulder hurts
Loses their mind when guests walk through the door
Barks, lunges or growls at other dogs on walks
Won't come when called unless you're holding food
Destroys the house the second you leave
Jumps on everyone — kids, elderly, strangers
Shown aggression you've been quietly managing
You've considered rehoming them

"Most of these problems resolve in the first week. Not because we're magicians — because we fix the foundation everyone else skipped. Structure creates calm. Calm creates reliability."

— André Morais, Founder

Our Method

THE UNLEASH'D METHOD
FIXES BOTH ENDS
OF THE LEASH.

Four pillars. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, no treats-forever dependency. This is the system we run on every dog — from puppies to red-zone cases.

STRUCTURE

The foundation everyone skips.

Crate, place, threshold control, feeding routines. Before a dog can listen, his world has to make sense. We install the structure your home is missing.

ENGAGEMENT

Your dog choosing you over distractions.

We build a dog that wants to work with you — not because of treats, but because you've earned the role of leader. This is what makes obedience hold.

OBEDIENCE

Reliable commands. Real-world distractions.

Sit, down, place, heel, recall — proofed against squirrels, doorbells, other dogs, and Lincoln Road on a Friday night. If it doesn't work in chaos, it doesn't work.

ACCOUNTABILITY

The conversation most trainers refuse to have.

Clear rules. Fair consequences. Calm, consistent leadership. Balanced training done right — so your dog finally understands what "no" actually means.

We don't train dogs. We train relationships.

The average owner spends 2–3 years trying to fix these problems on their own. Inconsistent methods. Conflicting advice. No real plan. The problems don't disappear — they compound.

Our 4-week program builds the foundation your dog was never given. Structure. Obedience. Impulse control. Confidence. A relationship that works in the real world.

You pay once. The results last the lifetime of your dog.

The Benchmark Promise STEP 4 OF THE FOUNDATION CODE

Before the program starts, we agree on 3–5 measurable benchmarks specific to your dog. If we don't hit every one — we keep training until we do. No asterisks. No excuses.

100% Money-Back Guarantee. If you don't see measurable improvement, you don't pay. Period.

Client Results

REAL DOGS. REAL RESULTS.

★★★★★

"I was genuinely scared to have people over to my home because Rex would lose his mind the moment someone knocked on the door. André was different from day one. Three weeks into the board & train, he sent me a video of Rex calmly sitting while a stranger walked through the front door. I literally cried watching it. If you've been told your dog is too aggressive, too far gone — please call André before you give up. He doesn't give up on dogs."

★★★★★

"Okay so real talk — Biscuit knocked over my grandma. When an elderly woman almost hits the floor because your 28-pound Frenchie launched at her, you realize you have a problem. André did three private sessions with us and the change was almost immediate. Biscuit now sits when someone comes in. My grandma visited again last week and actually got to pet him like a normal dog. Dude knows what he's talking about."

"I have two kids under seven and a Husky who escaped our yard four times in two months. Storm had zero recall and was starting to react aggressively to dogs on walks. I was terrified and exhausted. The board & train was a month. Before: chaos, fear, escape attempts. After: Storm comes every single time I call her. She walks loose-leash past other dogs. My kids can interact with her safely. I feel like I got my life back."

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ram B.

★★★★★

"I dropped off my pup Kilo for a 2-3 week Board & Train while I was overseas. I went through hours of research and consultations with other trainers that I couldn't fully trust. When I met Andre, not only he earned my trust quickly, he earned Kilo's trust. Something I noticed Andre did that other trainers didn't do was explain that he uses 'Play' as a training method. After I had such a great experience, I boarded Kilo with him multiple times and referred him to two friends with working breed dogs. 10/10 recommend. Best dog trainer in South Florida."

Carina Morais

★★★★★

"We did the 4-week Board & Train for our dog's separation anxiety, and the transformation was huge. Before training, our dogs were extremely anxious anytime we left the house. They would cry, pace, get worked up, and could not settle down on their own. After the program, they came back like different dogs — much calmer, more confident, crate trained, and able to relax without constantly depending on us. What stood out most was that this was not just random obedience. They actually fixed the root of the problem."

Carolina Cortes

★★★★★

"Andre completely changed my dog in just four weeks. Before training, my dog was extremely anxious, nervous, and had bad separation anxiety. Walks were stressful because he pulled so hard I could barely handle him for 10 minutes without my arms hurting. After working with Andre, he now walks right next to me on leash without pulling, is crate trained, no longer struggles with separation anxiety, and has a great recall. The biggest difference is that walks are actually enjoyable now. I can walk him for an hour with no stress."

★★★★★

"Great service and professionalism. It's really hard for me to trust someone else to take care of my dog, but since the moment the trainer met him it was like a connection — he makes the dogs feel like they were at home. That confidence was the key."

Enriquillo F.

★★★★★

"Phenomenal services. My dog is now listening and obeying at ease. Night and day difference in obedience and discipline. He enjoys the daily commands and repetition — he's not acting out of pettiness or excitement anymore. Amazing transformation."

★★★★★

"Professional, experienced, and the training ACTUALLY works! André, the owner, is constantly working on fine-tuning the dog's attention to the detail of the command and ensuring they have a strong understanding of what they're supposed to do in a specific situation."

The Trainer

WE DON'T BABYSIT.
WE BUILD.

Unleash'd K9 operates on a single belief: every dog is trainable. The problem is almost never the dog. It's the absence of structure, clear communication, and consistent leadership.

We use balanced training methods — combining positive reinforcement with clear, firm boundaries — because that's what actually works in the real world. Not just in a classroom with zero distractions.

We cap Board & Train at 4 dogs per month — intentionally. Every dog gets full trainer attention every single day. Not a rotation, not a number. Your dog.

Affection without structure creates an unstable dog
The owner is always part of the training equation
Results require consistency — from us and from you
A well-trained dog is a calmer, more confident, happier animal
We tell you the truth — even when it's not what you want to hear
