This depends on the goals you have for your puppy and your overall lifestyle. The board and train is a great training option for owners who 1) want to send their puppy directly to us from the breeder before they come home, 2) you live a busy lifestyle, 3) you are leaving town, or 4) you may have some physical limitations. A puppy board and train will provide a comprehensive training experience. However, it will be crucial that upon return, you work with your puppy and follow the regimens for their training, especially for housebreaking, to ensure it transfers nicely to your home environment.
