Board & Train Services in Bloomfield, Prince Edward County.
Send your dog to stay and train with a certified professional dog trainer. Using only the most up-to-date, humane and force-free methods, your dog will receive 4 – 6 training sessions a day, and come home ready to impress.
An accelerated and intensive training program to give your dog a behaviour boost, with less stress for you.
If you’re leading a busy schedule, juggling multiple demands on your time and energy, then the idea of training your dog over several weeks and hours of practice may seem daunting. If you’ve ever wished “that someone could just train my dog”, then our board and train program is for you!
Board & Train at The Sniffery
Set on a 10 acre ranch equipped with a fully fenced outdoor grass area and indoor training room, your dog will stay and learn with a Karen Pryor Certified Trainer. These board and train programs are intended for dogs 6 months of age and older.
How Does Board & Train Work?
Let's Chat
During our 30 minute consultation, we’ll learn about your dog, discuss training goals and methods and align expectations. Dogs that are new to Fearless Tails must have an in person assessment to confirm they are suitable for board and train.
During Your Dog’s Stay
Your dog will get individual training on skills specific to your goals and dog’s specific needs, in 4- 6 training sessions a day. We also make sure they have a great time with sensory enrichment, play, and exploration. Then they’ll dream the night away in a cozy environment with their trainer onsite and just a few steps away.
For the safety of all our guests, all dogs will receive private training and play time with their trainer. No more than 3-5 dogs are booked at any time.
Our outdoor spaces are all fenced, and walks around the property will be conducted on leash only. As an additional safety measure, your dog will be provided with a Tractive GPS locator for their stay. E-collars, choke, prong and martingale collars are not permitted.
Transfering Your Dog’s New Skills
This is the fastest most intensive program that we offer, and essential to the success of your dog’s training, you receive an orientation plus a 60 minute private session showing you how to maintain and improve upon the skills your dog has learned. You will receive videos of their training sessions, as well as lifetime access to courses and tutorials.
What You Get

Humane Training
Essential to a well-adjusted, happy, & confident dog.
In an unregulated industry such as dog training, it’s important to understand the facts around methodology and the effects on your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Both the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior have released statements addressing the benefits of humane training methods, and the unintended fallout of more “traditional” methods.
