Professional Dog Board and Train Programs in Mumbai
I don't just teach tricks. My residential program focuses on behavior modification, impulse control, and rebuilding the relationship between you and your dog.
**(Hero Media)** This is Mogambo, a rescue mix with a high prey drive. Here, we're working on impulse control, teaching him when to switch on and off. This kind of focused training is essential for building a reliable and calm companion.
Training the dog is only half the job; training the family is the key to long term success. Our program includes crucial training transfer sessions where I teach you everything your dog has learned, ensuring you can confidently maintain the progress at home.
This is me with Raja, a Belgian Malinois, and Sky, a Husky, after their training. Raja had a history of aggression towards people, but after our program, he can walk calmly past strangers. We handle complex behavioral cases, no matter the location.
People often ask why we use individual kennels. It's about safety, structure, and preventing issues like resource guarding. This approach ensures each dog gets personalized attention and crucial downtime in a secure space.
This is the incredible team behind Mitali's Board and Train. We are a growing group of passionate, dedicated trainers who ensure every dog receives professional and compassionate care around the clock.
Once you graduate from our program, you become part of the MBT family. We host monthly pack walks and beach meetups, providing a safe and structured environment for dogs to socialize and for you to connect with other owners.
I started Mitali's Board and Train because I saw a need for more intensive, immersive training for dogs with serious behavioral issues. This video explains my journey and the "why" behind our unique program.
Training isn't just for big dogs with big problems. Here, we're gently desensitizing Matty, a Shih Tzu puppy, to grooming tools. Starting early with positive experiences is key for a lifetime of stress free care.
About Featured
You might think sending your dog away is just about them learning obedience, but it is really about me training you. My board and train program ends with mandatory transfer sessions where I teach you exactly what your dog learned. I do not believe in handing over a fixed dog and walking away; I believe in giving you the tools to keep that progress alive at home.
When you bring your dog to my facility in Chandivali, Powai, you are opting for a program that prioritizes stability over quick tricks. My team and I handle complex cases—ranging from severe leash reactivity and aggression to puppy toilet training and anxiety issues—by creating a structured environment that resets the dog's behavior.
Why the Board and Train Model Works
Every dog is genetically and temperamentally different. Because of this, we avoid the chaotic, unsupervised group play common in many kennels. Your dog gets their own individual kennel, their own set schedule for naps, meals, and play, and specific attention from our trainers. This environment allows us to address root behavioral issues like resource guarding or prey drive without the risk of dog fights or unnecessary stress.
The Human Element
The most crucial part of this process happens after the dog leaves. I require all owners to participate in extensive coaching sessions. We practice commands and real-world scenarios together until you are confident handling your dog's new habits. We also host monthly pack walks and beach meetups for graduates, ensuring you have ongoing support.
