Board and Train Raleigh NC

Results-Driven Dog Training for Long-Term Success

Why a Board and Train?

If you’re frustrated by daily challenges like your canine ignoring commands, pulling on the leash, or acting reactive in public, you're not alone. Many dog owners in Raleigh, NC seek help with these common behavior issues, and our board and train program is designed to solve them at the root.

Our immersive board and train experience is more than a quick obedience tune-up. Dogs live with an experienced trainer for several weeks and receive structured training, behavior modification, and real-world socialization that goes far beyond group lessons or private training.

From puppies in need of a strong start to adult dogs struggling with aggression or anxiety, RP K9 Academy helps transform your dog into a confident, well-behaved companion all under the direct supervision of North Carolina’s top-rated dog trainers.

What’s Included in

Our Board and Train Program

In-Home, Real-World Training

Your dog boards with a certified trainer and lives in a structured environment where obedience is practiced around the clock. Unlike kennel-based programs, our dogs train where they live with exposure to everyday situations like public parks, stores, car rides, and home settings.

Full Obedience Curriculum

We teach and reinforce all the foundational skills your dog needs to thrive, including:

Sit, Down, Stay
Recall (Come when called)
Loose-leash walking
Place command
Out & Leave It
Off-leash reliability
Basic commands with distractions

Behavior Modification & Confidence Building

In our K9 training, we use a behavior-first approach. Whether your dog suffers from separation anxiety, fearfulness, crate resistance, or reactivity, we tailor our dog training sessions to target and modify those behaviors through a mix of structure, socialization, and positive reinforcement.

Private Lessons + Lifetime Support

We empower the dog owner to continue their success at home. Your package includes:

Sit, Down, Stay
Recall (Come when called)
Loose-leash walking
Place command
Out & Leave It
Off-leash reliability
