There’s so many options when it comes to training your puppy: weekly group classes, private training, day training, online training, board and trains or bootcamps — so how do you choose what’s best for your puppy AND you?

We are known for our puppy Day School program (which also includes private 1-on-1 owner lessons) and our Online School (check www.thepuppyacademy.com for info on both!) but Bethany (who is also the owner of a highly sought after board and train program outside of The Puppy Academy) weighs in on her opinion about board and train programs and whether you should consider sending your puppy to one.
