Your dog stays with us. Trains daily. Comes home transformed. Pack Protocol's board and train program is the fastest path to a reliably obedient dog in Miami-Dade and South Florida.
A board and train program, sometimes called a dog boot camp, is the most intensive and effective form of dog training available. Instead of weekly sessions where progress can stall between visits, your dog stays with a professional trainer full time for an accelerated, immersive program.
At Pack Protocol, your dog lives in a structured environment and works daily with trainer Kristopher Fonte, who has over 20 years of experience working with dogs across Miami and South Florida. Every day is intentional. Every session builds on the last.
The result is a dog that doesn't just know commands in a controlled setting — but a dog that responds reliably in real life. At home, on the street, around guests, at Bayfront Park, on the Brickell sidewalk, in a Coral Gables neighborhood.
We finish every board and train with a full owner handoff. You learn the system your dog learned, so the results hold long after the program ends.
Multiple training sessions every day. Not one hour a week. Full immersion drives faster, deeper results than any other training format.
From puppies to adult dogs. From Goldendoodles in Coconut Grove to German Shepherds in Kendall. The methodology works across the board.
Pulling on leash, jumping, aggression, reactivity, ignoring commands. We address the root behavior, not just the symptom.
You learn everything your dog learned. The system transfers to you so results don't disappear when your dog comes home.
We talk through your dog's behavior, your goals, and whether board and train is the right fit. Honest assessment, no pressure. We serve all of Miami-Dade and South Florida.
Every dog gets a tailored plan. Your dog's breed, age, behavior history, and your lifestyle all factor in. No cookie-cutter programs.
Your dog stays with us and works daily under a structured protocol. You get progress updates throughout so you're never out of the loop.
Before your dog comes home, we do a full transfer session with you. You learn the commands, the markers, and how to maintain everything your dog learned.
High-rise living requires a different kind of trained dog. Elevator manners, leash reactivity on crowded sidewalks, staying calm around scooters and foot traffic. We train for your real environment.
Quiet tree-lined streets, neighborhood walks, and social gatherings where your dog needs to be reliable. We work with the premium expectations that Coral Gables and Pinecrest families have.
Suburban families with busy schedules and dogs that need to hold their training around kids, other pets, and the distractions of daily South Florida life.
If your dog lunges, snaps, or makes walks stressful, board and train is the most effective intervention available. We evaluate every case honestly.
Start right. Puppy board and train builds the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior. The earlier you start, the easier everything else becomes.
If you don't have time for weekly sessions or can't maintain consistency at home, board and train delivers results without depending on your schedule.
