Board and Train Dog Training in Chattanooga, TN
Two Structured Programs Built for Real Results
Anvil K9 offers two structured board and train programs in Chattanooga, a 4-week program for dogs 16 weeks and older, and a 6-week program for puppies starting at 12 weeks. Both are built around daily, hands-on training that develops reliable obedience and manners that hold up at home and in public.
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 single day, building reliable obedience, correcting problem behaviors, and developing the kind of manners that make daily life easier.
This program covers everything from foundational commands to behavior modification. Whether your dog struggles with leash reactivity, not listening, jumping, anxiety, or aggression, the 4-week program addresses it all 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 want lasting results from professional dog training in Chattanooga, this is the most direct path to getting there.
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, one session a week isn’t enough to build reliable habits.
With board and train, your dog works with a professional trainer every single day. That daily repetition changes behavior faster and makes commands hold up when it matters most.
Your dog stops guessing and starts responding reliably.
