BOARD & TRAIN
Commit to fun-filled boot camp for your dog
Your dog will appreciate two to three weeks of fun-filled activities and learning at our Palm Beach County-licensed home kennel in Lake Worth. He will be trained, exercised, and socialized throughout the day until he is tired and happy.
Our home has been designed with your dog's safety in mind, with appropriate fencing, a turfed potty area, regular cleaning protocols, and a baby gated dog friendly pool. Tours are available in advance Monday-Friday morning upon request -- they are NOT available on the day you drop off your dog.

The board and train experience
Each boot camp experience begins with a phone interview and training overview and followed up with 60-90 minutes of instruction to make sure you know everything your dog knows -- and then some. Our Cues checklist outlines the obedience commands your puppy will learn.
As part of our commitment to offering the best in professional dog care services, West Palm Dog is registered with the State of Florida and Palm Beach County.
What to expect
We recommend a 14-21 day stay for first-time clients. Repeat campers may choose fewer days, or combine training days with boarding days.
Extra services like swimming lessons are also available.
You will receive daily video updates Monday-Friday after 8 pm during your dog's stay. You will receive a video link the first business day after your dog's check-in. Please check this link for updates so you can learn while your puppy does.
When you pick up your dog, plan to spend at least 60 minutes with us to practice with your dog ("debrief") and prepare for his return home.
Puppies need to have had at least two sets of puppy shots and a clear fecal exam prior to beginning a board and train. We also require vaccination for Bordetella within six months of your dog's stay, with boosters every six months.
Your dog's success is contingent upon your consistent application of our recommendations when he returns home. These may include regular exercise, obedience practice, and participation in a dog sport. Service dog prospects may benefit from more than one boot camp to confirm obedience and task training.

What we need from you
Get yourself ready
Training you is as important to us as training your dog. The more you understand about how dogs learn, and how to speak dog, the better your relationship will be. Please read this page before your dog comes home.
Book your debrief
After you have booked your dog's boot camp, please schedule your 60-minute debrief. These one-on-one personalized sessions will familiarize you with the commands and hand signals your dog has learned. You must schedule a debrief before taking your dog home -- you will enjoy watching your dog at his best.
Debriefs are offered Monday - Friday in the mornings and early afternoon. Please be on time.
Debriefs are offered free of charge for boot camps 14-21 days long.
To schedule your debrief, text Marti at 561-906-2830.
Refunds and cancellations
Because we limit the number of dogs we accept to ensure excellent service, we do have a cancellation policy. If you need to cancel, you must provide a written request to West Palm Dog (marti.hohmann@gmail.com or text to 561-906-2830) seven (7) days in advance of the first day of the dog's stay. You will be charged an online payment processing fee (3%) incurred due to cancellation. In addition, a cancellation fee of $250 will apply for cancellations less than 7 days in advance of the dog's stay.
No cash refunds of any kind. We do want you to be happy with our work and the progress your dog demonstrates. If you are less than satisfied, we are glad to offer continued training for a series of days or through private lessons for up to 90 days after your dog goes home.
