 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  If I could give 100 stars I would! We did the board and train and it is an absolutely amazing program. We were at a dead end with Blue because he had horrible fear based dog reactivity. But we are so glad and so proud to say that our Blue has his confidence back and we are super impressed with all information and tools provided to us. We feel well educated and confident to continue Blue's training. Our trainer Erika has done a beautiful job with Blue & was so patient and thorough while answering all of our questions. Highly recommend you guys to everyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We had an overall amazing experience with the hybrid private training program at K9 Mania with my 1 year old Labradoodle Tucker. Our trainer Gabby was truly amazing throughout the entire program, constantly adjusting course material to best suit my dog, his needs, and how he learns best. Over the 5 weeks, Tucker became more confident, neutral and far less reactive than going into the program. Prior to this program going on walks was a tough task, with constant pulling and barking at other dogs. It’s safe to say that has been essentially entirely worked out at this point and he is able to walk calmly in a heel and walk past other dogs without reactivity. It’s truly an amazing transformation. I recommend this program to anyone who is highly motivated to put in the daily work with your dog, because you definitely get out of it what you put in, but Gabby was there for us every step of the way! I look forward to taking the tools we learned over the last 5 weeks and continuing to build on it all. Thank you K9 Mania & thank you Gabby!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  K9 Mania is amazing!!! We brought our boy Bodie for their 3 week training and he is SO well-behaved now!!! Everywhere we go we get compliments. His trainer James Shannon was an absolute gem- so kind, caring and clearly a dog whisperer!!! He sent regular communications including pictures and videos of Bodie's progress keeping us well-informed on how he was doing. I highly recommend K9- and James if you can get him. :) Also- they go all out with seasonal and holiday decorations, so cute!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I was truly delighted to have James as our trainer for my twin Bernedoodles for the duration of their stay at K9 Mania. He was incredibly patient with my anxious girl doodle, Maggie and my headstrong doodle, Shamrock. James commitment to delivering outstanding service exceeded my expectations. His expertise in dog behavior was essential to the success of Maggie & Shamrock’s training. Working with James was a pleasure and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with their dogs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Natalie transformed our dog! Our puppy went from refusing to walking and hyper reactive to being able to calmly navigate crowded and loud spaces. We have been able to fly with him, take him to work, and long walks where he is always by our side and under control. Natalie far exceeded our expectations and what we could have hoped for our relationship with our puppy. If you want an incredibly trained dog, request Natalie!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We sent our corgipoo Nero for the 4 week boarding and training, the entire staff was amazing from beginning to end! Jayden, her trainer was the cherry on top he was simply fantastic with Nero and was always patient to send us photos and is extremely knowledgeable. Everyone in the facility showed that they love all of the dogs under their care and showed Nero all of the love she could want in our absence. They were able to address all of the concerns we had with our little girl. I will honestly recommend K9mania to everyone i know for how good we were treated and how amazing and well behaved our precious girl came out due to Jayden and the staffs diligence and experience!

Board and Train Frequently Asked Questions

What is board and train?

Board and Train is a program where your dog stays at K9 Mania Dog Training facility and receives daily, hands-on training from professional dog trainers. Each program is based on your dog’s needs and may focus on basic commands, good manners, leash walking, self-control, and challenging behaviors. Instead of attending weekly lessons and doing most of the training yourself, our trainers work closely with your dog each day to build better habits and a strong foundation for good behavior. When the program is complete, we’ll teach you how to use the same commands and training methods at home. You’ll also receive continued support to help your dog maintain their progress.

How long is your board and train program in Long Island?

Our board and train in Long Island typically ranges 3-week program for mild to moderate behaviors and 5 weeks or more for serious behavioral issues, depending on your dog’s behavior, training goals, and temperament. Some dogs only need foundational obedience work, while others require more time for behavior modification or advanced off-leash training. During your consultation, we evaluate your dog and recommend the ideal program length to ensure lasting results.

Is board and train safe for dogs?

Yes. Our Long Island board and train program is designed to provide a structured, supervised, and stress-managed environment. Dogs receive professional training, proper rest, exercise, and consistent care throughout their stay. Safety, wellbeing, and positive reinforcement are always prioritized, ensuring your dog learns confidently without unnecessary pressure.

How much does board and train cost in Long Island?

Board and train pricing varies based on program length and your dog’s specific training needs. Factors such as obedience level, behavior issues, and desired outcomes influence the investment. We recommend scheduling a consultation so we can assess your dog and provide accurate pricing tailored to your goals.

Is it good to send your dog away for training?

It’s good if the facility is trustworthy, your dog is safe, and you’ll receive owner training when your dog returns. Sending your dog away without learning how to maintain the training defeats the purpose. K9 Mania’s board and train includes a mandatory owner handoff session so you become the consistent handler, not us. That’s what makes it work long-term.

Is board and train better than private lessons?

Board and train can produce faster results because dogs receive daily, immersive training in a controlled environment. Private lessons are effective for owners who prefer a hands-on approach. The best option depends on your schedule, dog’s behavior, and training goals.

What age should a dog start board and train?

Most dogs can begin board and train once they have completed basic vaccinations. Puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs all benefit from structured training programs.

Where do dogs stay during board and train?

Dogs stay in a safe, supervised with our training environment where they receive structured sessions, exercise, and rest throughout the day.

What to expect from a board and train program?

Expect daily training in a structured routine, regular updates from your trainer, real behavioral progress over weeks (not guesswork over months), and your dog coming home noticeably calmer and more obedient. When you pick your dog up, you’ll spend time learning exactly how to continue the work. It’s not a magic pill, but it’s focused, intensive work that creates measurable change.

Do you train aggressive dogs in your board and train program?

Yes. Our Long Island board and train program works with many dogs displaying aggression, reactivity, or severe behavioral challenges. Because these cases require careful evaluation, we conduct an assessment to determine suitability and safety. We then design a customized training plan focused on behavior stabilization, control, and improved responsiveness.

Will my dog listen at home after board and train?

Yes, as long as owners follow the guidance provided after training. Our board and train program in Long Island includes owner transition sessions so you understand how to maintain commands, structure, and boundaries at home. Training success is a partnership. We train your dog, and we coach you to reinforce the behaviors consistently.
