A Better Way to Board-Dog Training

Mauri Brendle a month ago

If you are looking for a trainer for your dog look no further. Dann and his approach is fantastic. We saw a tremendous change with our young Golden puppy through his approach. Dan is extremely easy to work with, very responsive, communicates promptly and is a chill guy. We have been so pleased with the progress we’ve seen in our golden retriever. Highly recommend his services!

Our mini goldendoodle puppy completed the 10-day board and train with Dan at A Better Way to Board and we had an excellent experience! We really appreciated Dan’s training approach and felt like we were given all the tools we needed to continue the training at home. We loved getting photos and videos during his stay, plus the full training video and session on the last day so we could learn everything he worked on. We also really appreciate that they make sure all dogs are healthy before boarding, which gives us great peace of mind. Best of all, we now have a place we fully trust to board him when we go on vacation—and a place he’s happy to go back to. Highly recommend!

We feel so lucky to have found Dan, Holly, and their family. From the very first stay, it was clear that this is more than just a dog boarding business—it’s a warm, loving home where every dog is treated like one of their own. Fiona, our 20-pound golden doodle, can be a little... particular. She’s sweet and cuddly, but also strong-willed, extremely food-driven, and needs extra time (and patience!) when meeting new dogs—especially those her size or smaller. She can be a bit spicy at first, but all she really wants is to play, especially a good game of chase. Dan has such a calm, intuitive approach with her. She absolutely adores him—and Holly and their kids too! One of the biggest reasons we love and trust A Better Way to Board is how consistently they go above and beyond. The first Thanksgiving we had Fiona, we were heartbroken when our airline wouldn't let her on the plane with us last minute. We were in full panic mode, but Dan and Holly didn’t hesitate—they said yes to watching her with literally no notice. That moment sealed it for us: they’re family now. Fiona always comes home happy, tired, and clearly loved. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with her care. If you're looking f

Dan was amazing with our shy puppy Lenny! He really came out of his shell, started playing well with other dogs, learned a lot, and even calmed down a bit. I feel so much better leaving him with Dan than at a big corporate boarding place, and I love that he and Holly send us photos and videos while we’re gone. Highly recommend!

A Better Way to Board is a gem for dog owners! Dan and Holly board and train dogs from their home, providing a level of personal attention and care you won’t find elsewhere. Dan is an outstanding trainer who tailors the training to each dog's unique needs. Holly shares regular updates with charming videos and photos which illustrate the care they provide. They even sent one for Easter! When we picked up Zoey she was happy, healthy, and definitely better-behaved. If you're looking for a personal boarding and training experience, A Better Way to Board is an excellent perfect choice. I highly recommend them.
