Board & Train Residency
An immersive residency at our 11,000 sq ft private training academy — where your dog lives and learns alongside one of the nation's most decorated trainers, and comes home transformed.
Our Valet Board-and-Train includes door-to-door transport and concludes with an in-home transition lesson to pass the leash seamlessly back to you.

The Program
Most board and train programs kennel your dog and train in short sessions. At Stateline Canine, your dog joins a working academy where our trainers live on-site — so training happens the way real life happens: at mealtimes, on walks, at the door, around distractions, morning and night.
This is why families across Maryland and Pennsylvania who have already tried group classes, private lessons, or another dog trainer come to us. Immersion produces what weekly dog training sessions cannot: a dog whose new behavior is a habit, not a trick — proofed in every environment before coming home to yours.
Every residency concludes with private handoff lessons for your family, so the obedience your dog mastered here transfers seamlessly to your home, your neighborhood, and your hands.
Included in Every Residency
One Academy, Every Dog
From an eight-week-old puppy to a dog other trainers have turned away — our program is built around your dog's evaluation, not a one-size curriculum.
Lunging, barking, or fixating on dogs, people, or cars makes every walk stressful. Our reactive dog training rebuilds calm through structured immersion — controlled exposure, engagement work, and neutrality around real triggers — until your dog can walk anywhere with you, composed.
Aggression, biting, resource guarding, and severe anxiety require more than obedience commands. Stateline Canine has built its reputation on behavior modification for dogs other trainers couldn't rehabilitate — handled safely, scientifically, and with your family's confidence restored.
The habits your puppy forms in the first months last a lifetime. Our puppy training residency establishes house manners, crate confidence, socialization, and foundation obedience — so you skip the chewed furniture years and raise a dog people compliment.
Reliable recall, loose-leash walking, place, and calm greetings — proofed around distractions until they hold at the park, the patio, and the front door. Advanced off-leash dog training available for families who want true freedom with total control.
Serving Pennsylvania & Maryland
Our Valet Board-and-Train includes door-to-door transport and concludes with an in-home transition lesson to pass the leash seamlessly back to you.
We collect your dog from your home and return them when training concludes — no long drives, no juggling your work week around a hand-off.
You hear from us while your dog is with us: what they're learning, how they're progressing, and what to expect on the day they come home.
The program concludes in your own home, where we pass the leash back to you and coach your family through the commands, habits, and boundaries your dog now lives by.
Available to families throughout Pennsylvania & Maryland as part of our board and train program.
Admission
Every residency begins with a complimentary evaluation. We assess your dog's temperament, history, and your family's goals — then design a training plan specific to your dog. No two programs here are identical.
Your dog moves into the academy. Training is woven through every part of the day and proofed in real-world settings — with trainers on the property around the clock, not visiting between shifts. You receive regular updates throughout.
We return your dog to your door, then teach you everything they've learned through private handoff lessons. Refresher sessions and lifetime trainer support keep the results permanent.
Why Stateline
When you search for the best dog training near you, credentials are how you separate marketing from mastery. Ours are earned in national competition, on the street with working K9s, and across 25+ years of dogs sent home transformed.
