Boarding & Training

Board & Train is an immersive training and boarding program designed for dogs who need extra structure,
consistency, and support, including those experiencing anxiety, reactivity, or behavioural challenges.

My small-scale, farm-style boarding limits numbers to ensure every dog receives individual attention,
enrichment, and care. From young dogs who benefit from routine to seniors needing extra TLC, each stay is
thoughtfully tailored to the dog’s needs.

What's Included

Immersive Daily Training

Board & Train is an intensive, structured program designed for dogs who need consistency and focused guidance. Training is incorporated into daily routines, allowing skills to be practised and reinforced in real-life situations.

Individual Attention

With limited numbers and a small-scale, farm-style environment, each dog receives personalised care, enrichment, and one-on-one management. This ensures every stay is tailored to the dog’s temperament, age, and behavioural needs.

Ongoing Support & Transition Home

Each stay includes a customised training plan and clear guidance for owners. You’ll receive practical strategies to confidently maintain your dog’s progress once they return home.

Calm Rural Environment

Dogs stay in a peaceful, structured setting with accommodation options including secure indoor suites, outdoor kennels, or — where appropriate — home-based care within my household. The environment is designed to reduce stress and support learning.

What Our Clients Say

Jeremy arrived at Francine’s as a reactive and fearful dog. Francine gently taught me to read his body language and to interact with him accordingly. I learned a lot.

I specifically found out that my human responses were not matching the canine ones. Once taught, I saw the logic of her words and my dog responded so well.

Since the original sessions both my dogs have been back as boarders while we went overseas on holiday. We were blown away by the way they, (esp Jeremy), just owned the place and settled in from the first paws outside the car.

When I collected them after 10 days they were so relaxed and happy. I couldn’t be happier with Francine’s empathy and dog-knowledge. The most wonderful dog person I’ve ever found. Thank you Francine.
