Sending your dog away for training can feel like a big step—but it can also be a powerful reset. In this post, we break down exactly what happens in a board and train program at Grassroots K9: from structured routines and personalized training plans to real-world exposure and owner education. Learn what to expect, and how we set dogs (and their owners) up for lasting success.

Training your dog isn’t just about commands—it’s about communication. In this post, we highlight the most common mistakes dog owners make, from inconsistency to overusing treats, and how to correct them for long-term success. Small changes can lead to big results—and we’re here to help you get there.

Love builds a bond, but structure builds behavior. At Grassroots K9, we believe the key to a balanced, confident dog isn’t just affection—it’s leadership, consistency, and clear expectations. Discover why accountability matters just as much as love in raising a well-behaved companion.
