"I was very pleased with the results of Bella's 3 weeks board and training. My main wish was for her to not be so reactive to other dogs. I brought her home a week ago and we went for a long walk. We saw three dogs and she was calm."

"Mo is the best dog trainer I've met. My dog had aggressive behavior and was not responding to commands. A four week program with Mo and I got a different dog back. Not only is his on leash behavior great but he's just as good off leash."

"I am so grateful to K9 Obedience Academy. I was at my wits end trying to tame my 2 year old German Shepherd Bruno. He is very protective. I couldn't take him anywhere. K9 Obedience Academy has worked with Bruno to show him what behavior is acceptable."

"Best training ever! I have used many others for my other dogs but none of them spent the time with us after board and train was over like K9 Obedience Academy did and still does."

"We cannot say enough about Mo and his team! Our dog was a rescue found emaciated and infected. She was afraid and anxious and used barking and biting to fend off anyone. Mo transformed her completely."

When You've Tried Everything and It's Not Working.

You've tried classes and nothing stuck

Perfect in class. Completely ignores you at home or on walks. Group classes can't build the consistency your dog actually needs.

The behavior is getting worse, not better

Pulling harder. Ignoring more. Jumping higher. Every month makes it harder to fix. You need real, focused work now.

You don't have time to train consistently yourself

You work. You have kids. You can't commit to daily sessions. Board & Train gets it done while you keep your life moving.

Your dog needs daily repetition you can't provide

Real change comes from hundreds of repetitions in the right environment. Two sessions a week isn't enough for some dogs. Daily immersion is.

You want the fastest possible results

Board & Train is the fastest program Mo offers. 2 to 5 weeks of daily work delivers what would take months in a once-a-week program.

You want results that actually last

This isn't about a patched fix. Every Board & Train ends with hands-on owner coaching and lifetime support, so the calm comes home with your dog.

Board and Train real-world proofing Rochester NY K9 Obedience Academy

Trained Where Life Actually Happens.

Your dog doesn't just need to listen in a training facility. They need to listen on a busy street, at a park, around strangers, with distractions everywhere. That's where Mo trains.

Every Board & Train dog gets proofed in real Rochester environments. Pittsford sidewalks. Fairport parks. Wegmans parking lots. That's why graduates hold their training at home and in public, not just during sessions.

Honest Answers to Real Questions

I'm worried about anything too harsh. Is your training balanced and modern?
Yes. Mo's methods are calm, structured, and balanced. Positive reinforcement to teach what's right, fair and predictable boundaries for what's not. No yelling, no fear, no "alpha" or "dominance" framing. Most clients are women who specifically wanted a trainer who wouldn't be rough with their dog. You'll meet Mo at the consultation and can decide if it feels right before you commit to anything.
How long is the Board & Train program?
Program length is customized to your dog. Typically 2 to 5 weeks. Foundation work is usually 2 to 3 weeks. More involved behavior work may need 4 to 5 weeks. Mo discusses the right length at your free consultation.
Can I visit my dog during Board & Train?
Mo generally recommends no visits during the program because it can interrupt the training flow and create setbacks. Daily video updates keep you fully connected to your dog's progress throughout the entire stay.
What happens after Board & Train ends?
You come in for a full graduation walkthrough where Mo personally coaches you on every command, every cue, and exactly how to maintain results at home. Lifetime support is included. Mo is always available after graduation.
What do you feed my dog during the stay?
You provide your dog's regular food. Mo maintains their normal diet and feeding schedule throughout the program.
Will the training hold up at home, with my family and other pets?
Yes. That's the whole point. Every Board & Train is proofed in the environments your dog actually lives in. Front doors, busy streets, family settings, other pets, parks. A dog that performs only in a training room isn't trained. Mo doesn't graduate dogs until they hold up where it counts.
Is Board & Train right for behavior modification?
Yes. Board & Train is the primary format for behavior work. The daily structure and consistent environment are what make real change possible. Day Training is better suited for dogs that mostly need basic obedience foundations.
Do you serve Pittsford, Victor, Brighton, and surrounding areas?
Yes. K9 Obedience Academy serves all of Greater Rochester including Pittsford, Victor, Brighton, Fairport, Penfield, Webster, Henrietta, Greece, Irondequoit, Gates, and Chili.
