Boarding & Training Services in Northern Virginia

Located in Vienna VA, Dog University has provided Boarding and Training (Boarding School) to Northern Virginia since 2010. We believe that every dog deserves the best care, love, and training to thrive in a happy and harmonious environment. 

With our professional dog boarding and training services, we provide a haven where your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional needs are met. Whether you’re going on vacation or seeking professional training, our dedicated team is here to ensure your dog’s well-being and transformation.

OUR SERVICES

Dog University Boarding School

The dogs that come to Dog University for training range from puppies learning basic obedience to dogs (of all ages) with aggression issues, and everything in between. Because we tailor our training curriculum to the specific needs of your dog rather than a set list of expectations, we recommend a behavioral evaluation before scheduling training, so we have an opportunity to come up with the best training program that we can for you and your dog.

WHY CHOOSE US

Be Confident in Your Northern Virginia Dog Boarding & Training Team

Leaving your beloved dog in unfamiliar surroundings or struggling with their behavior can be a source of worry and stress. We understand these concerns and have built our dog boarding and training services to address them head-on. We help alleviate separation anxiety and behavior issues as our experienced trainers work closely with your dog to create a positive and supportive environment. You can have peace of mind knowing that your furry friend is in the hands of dedicated professionals.

We employ a reinforcement training methodology that focuses on rewarding desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones. Our trainers use proven techniques to reinforce positive behaviors and foster an environment of trust and cooperation. By understanding the unique motivations of each dog, we create a safe and enjoyable training experience that enhances their learning abilities and encourages consistent progress.

OUR PRICING

How Much Does Boarding & Training Cost?

One of our most popular training options! Your dog will get to stay at Dog University and work with us one on one. They will have their own crate for mealtime, relaxing, and sleeping overnight. 

Dogs will be able to build social skills, spending their free time in our daycare playgroup, and our boarding school programs also include field trips where your dog may go out to pet stores, Great Falls Park, Reston Town Center, or other areas near Dog University for off-site training to test their skills.
