At Balanced Behavior Dog Training Center, we embrace a lifelong student mindset. Our programs are uniquely designed to help your dog gain and maintain important skills, but they will transform you in many ways, too.
We empower you with the knowledge and skills to create a lifelong relationship with your dog that is rooted in love, trust, and mutual respect.
GOAT Camp is our signature, results-driven training program for owners who want meaningful transformation and a clear, teachable system they can confidently apply at home. It delivers all the benefits of a traditional board & train—intensive, high-quality training for your dog—without sending your dog away or leaving you out of the process. Instead, you learn alongside your dog every step of the way. This program blends immersive daily training with thorough owner education, structured homework, and real-world practice so your dog’s progress continues long after each session ends.

Extend the proven benefits of GOAT Camp with a structured day designed to reinforce and maintain your dog’s skills. During Stay & Train, your dog continues practicing core behaviors such as obedience, loose-leash walking, dog neutrality, settling independently, and breed-appropriate fulfillment—all within a safe and comfortable home-like environment tailored to their needs.
The day combines structured training, mental and physical enrichment, and restful downtime. Your dog will practice commands, refine leash manners, and strengthen their ability to self-regulate—finding and maintaining calm without needing constant attention. Breed-specific enrichment activities are incorporated throughout the day to satisfy natural drives and ensure your dog is mentally and physically fulfilled. This focused reinforcement helps your dog remain well-behaved, balanced, confident, and engaged in everyday life.
Please note
Stay & Train is a dog-focused program and does not include training time for the owner. Stay & Train is designed for dogs whose owners are maintaining training at home. If a dog has difficulty relaxing outside of the structured environment at our facility or is not keeping up with training at home, this program may not be a good fit. We reserve the right to discuss suitability with owners to ensure the program benefits the dog and aligns with our standards.
