Service Area

We are located in Winchester, KY, but we do offer training services to clients outside of our immediate area. Pick-ups and drop offs for board and train clients are available for those in greater Lexington, Frankfort, and Louisville. In-home transition lessons are included in board and train programs for those within our service area. People from out of the area are welcome to do their transition lessons at our facility.

Scheduling

Our board and train programs are limited to a given number of dogs every month. We are normally on a 1-2 month wait for board and train programs, and suggest that you reach out 2 months in advance to book a training date for your dog. Please contact us to reserve a date, and to find out how long the current wait list is for training programs.
