Board & Train

Your dog stays with Nell and learns with you

Your dog lives with Nell for one or two weeks of focused daily training. Then Nell shows you exactly what she has worked on, so the progress carries on at home. It is a limited, hands-on programme, and places are only offered for the dates listed below.

  1. AssessmentAn hour with Nell at her home, Tuesday to Friday, 3pm to 4pm. Your dog's vaccinations must be up to date. Nell checks your dog suits the programme and agrees the goals with you.
  2. Trial stayA 24-hour stay so your dog and Nell get to know each other before the main stay.
  3. The stayOne or two weeks of daily training and care.
  4. Handover sessionAn hour as soon as possible after the stay. Nell walks you through everything she has worked on.
  5. Check-in sessionTwo weeks later, to see how things are going at home and fix any wobbles.
