When you need a safe place for your dog to stay, our dog boarding and training facility offers complete peace of mind. We require a two-night minimum for all boarding stays to ensure a stable, stress-free routine for every guest.

Our board and train dog program is the core of what we do. We address a wide variety of needs, focusing on basic obedience skills to help adjust dog behavior by establishing a common language  that is easy for owners to understand:

  • Basic Obedience and Advanced Obedience
  • Puppy Development
  • Scent Detection and Search and Rescue
  • Service Dog Training and Police Service Dog Training
  • Utility Training and Retrieval
  • Bite Work
  • Breed Identification and Kennel Management

A Facility Designed for Safety, Structure & Performance

Effective dog behavior training requires the right environment. We have invested heavily in a property that maximizes safety, comfort, and training potential for every dog that walks through our doors.

In-Home Environment with 24/7 Professional Care

Our property features an in-home environment where dogs receive round-the-clock care from our professional dog trainers. The perimeter is fully secured with commercial-grade 2×6 high-strength horse wire fencing, backed by a CPI security system with constant camera monitoring.

Our 24-run kennel is meticulously designed to accommodate all types of dogs. It features six runs specifically equipped to handle escape artists, 12 runs with inside and outside fight guards for nervous or reactive dogs needing extra privacy, and six separate Rhino kennels for dogs requiring a quiet space. The kennels utilize guillotine doors with safety locks, extra-secured D-ring doors, central heat and air conditioning, and top-of-the-line indoor and outdoor lighting. We also maintain a premium Waggz electric grooming tub and a dedicated LG washer and dryer exclusively for dog bedding.

Training Barn & Performance Equipment

Our 16×36 finished training barn serves as the ultimate classroom. This climate-controlled space mimics a home-style setup, complete with a seating area and a Samsung refrigerator for storing dog food and medication.

To support our advanced dog obedience training, the barn is fully stocked with premium equipment. We utilize Dog Runner Pro treadmills, Dog Trotter slat mills, full agility equipment, and specialized scent boxes. We also integrate Martin System and E-collar technology to ensure precise communication during training sessions. Interactive toys, bite pillows, and spring poles keep the dogs engaged, motivated, and physically fulfilled.

Why Choose Refined Canines

We view training as a lifelong journey rather than a quick fix. Because we want you to succeed long after your dog comes home, graduates of our board and trains receive access to a free group class twice a month. This exclusive benefit helps you maintain the skills your dog learned and ensures smooth, long-term success in the real world.

Testimonials

When i adopted Buddy (Dachshund mix) three years ago, I almost gave him back. He had very bad fear and leash aggression. He had already bit someone and tended to nip when people came into the house. Darin took him for a week of intense training. Buddy came back a different dog. He now knows all his commands and listens to them. Although he still has fears, he doesn't react like he did because his focus is on me. I highly recommend Darin for anyone having issues with their dog. I'm so glad I had Darin to train Buddy because its made my life easier and Buddy's too.

I have a new Westie puppy, Shamus, who needed to be trained in sitting, staying, coming and to drop things that were in his mouth. Darin worked with Shamus in these areas and also gave me great tips so I could continue to train him every day. We started with the clicker method with treats, and Shamus is doing very well with his training. We also worked on "heal" when walking, and Shamus responds well to this instruction also. Thanks to Darin and his great training, I believe Shamus will continue on a path for following commands in the future.
