Board and Train Dog Training in Chattanooga, TN

Two Structured Programs Built for Real Results

If you’re looking for a board and train program in Chattanooga that delivers real, lasting results, Anvil K9 offers a structured 4-week program designed to transform your dog’s behavior through daily, hands-on training.

4-Week Board & Train Program

Our 4-Week Board & Train is built for dogs 16 weeks and older. Your dog stays with us and trains every day, building reliable obedience, correcting behavioral issues, and developing real-world manners.

This program covers everything from basic and advanced obedience to behavior modification. Whether your dog struggles with leash reactivity, not listening, jumping, anxiety, or aggression, the 4-week program is designed to address it through daily structure, clear communication, and consistent repetition.

What the 4-Week Program Covers

During the 4-week program, your dog is trained every day with a focus on:

• Basic and advanced obedience commands
• Calm behavior inside the home
• Proper leash manners
• Off-leash control and responsiveness
• Handling distractions in real-world environments
• Behavior modification for reactivity, anxiety, or aggression
• Confidence building and structured socialization

If you’re looking for professional dog training in Chattanooga, this program offers the fastest path to real results.

Anvil K9 works with dog owners throughout Chattanooga, Rossville, North Georgia, and Southeast Tennessee. Training is built around real-world environments, helping dogs develop reliable obedience, leash manners, and off-leash control you can trust at home and in public.

Who the 4-Week Program is For

This program is a great fit for:

• Dogs with bad habits that need structure and consistency

• High-energy dogs that don’t listen or settle down

• Owners who want reliable off-leash control

• Busy schedules that make daily training difficult

Whether your dog needs a foundation or a reset, these programs are built to create real change.
6-Week Puppy Board & Train Program
Our 6-Week Puppy Board & Train is designed for puppies starting at 12 weeks old. This extended program gives your puppy the time and structure needed to build a solid foundation during the most critical development window.
During the program, your puppy will learn:
• Core obedience commands (sit, down, stay, come, place, heel)
• Proper socialization with people, dogs, and new environments
• Crate training and house manners
• Leash manners and impulse control
• Confidence building and exposure to real-world situations
Starting early gives your puppy the best chance at becoming a calm, confident, well-mannered dog. The extra two weeks allow us to build habits at a pace that works for a young dog’s developing brain.

Why Board and Train Works

Most training fails because it’s inconsistent.

With board and train, your dog is working every day with a professional trainer. That consistency builds habits faster and makes behaviors more reliable.

Instead of guessing what to do, your dog learns clear expectations through repetition, structure, and real-world exposure.

This is why dogs trained consistently every day make faster progress and develop more dependable behavior.

What Makes Anvil K9 Different

Anvil K9 focuses on one thing: delivering real, reliable results through structured board and train programs in Chattanooga.

Everything is built around the NePoPo® balanced training system, a proven method that develops clear communication, consistent behavior, and off-leash reliability in real-world environments. Jake Mumford is a NePoPo Gold certified trainer and AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.

Real-World Training

Your dog doesn’t just learn commands in a quiet environment. Training happens in real-world situations with distractions, so behaviors actually hold up outside of training.

Daily Structure and Repetition

Progress comes from consistency. Your dog trains every day, building habits through repetition instead of relying on occasional sessions.

Clear Communication

We focus on helping dogs understand exactly what is expected of them. This creates confidence, reduces confusion, and leads to more reliable behavior.

Results That Last

This program is designed to create long-term change, not temporary fixes. The goal is a calm, obedient dog you can confidently take anywhere.

These are the only programs we offer because they work.

If you’re looking for a board and train program that delivers reliable obedience and real-world results, this is how it’s done.

PAWS-ITIVE REVIEWS

Jake is an amazing trainer! His expertise (and experience with Cane Corsos) made a huge difference with our puppy, Storm. She’s still a playful pup, but now so much better behaved. With our 2 young kiddos, we knew we wanted her professionally trained, especially with her being a Corso. Jake did not disappoint! He also stayed in communication with us throughout the process with videos and pics.

I did Board and train with Jake for my 3 dogs. It was so worth it and really has made such a huge difference for them and for me. I work from home and it’s so much easier to manage my pups. People are always surprised how well behaved my pups are. Jake was super easy to work with and flexible, and did a great job training all of my very different dogs.

– Jennifer U.

Jake is an incredible trainer. He uses gentle methods to handle and correct unwanted behavior in our fur family. It’s amazing to me how quickly he develops a real connection with the dogs and this just confirms his ability to deliver real results.

– Carolyn C.

Jake trained our Boston Terrier / Pit mix. I was very skeptical since she was 6 years old at the time, but my wife and I have been amazed at how well the training worked (and still works 2 years later). We are so happy with all the work that Jake did with our dog. I cannot recommend Jake enough.
