Dogs do have the capacity to remember their owners after a board and train program. While some dogs may initially appear disoriented upon reuniting with their owners, they often quickly recall familiar scents, voices, and routines. It's important for the owner to reinforce the bond through positive interaction and consistent reinforcement of the training received during board and train. With time and patience, most dogs will reestablish a strong connection with their owners despite being away for a period of time during training.
