Immersion + Owner Transfer
Board & Train in Huntington Beach
Board & Train in Huntington Beach is an immersive program where your dog stays with professional trainers to jump-start obedience, leash skills, place, recall, and manners—then we transfer skills to you so they stick at home. Ideal for busy owners or tougher behavior patterns.
Board & Train is ideal for owners who need consistent daily reps and expert handling to jump-start obedience or resolve stuck behaviors, but can’t commit hours to training each day. Also right for tougher cases—reactivity, impulse control, unreliable recall, multi-dog households—or anyone who wants a fast, structured reset with clear transfer lessons and a simple maintenance plan.

When You Need a Faster Reset
1-Minute Checklist
Quick Checklist — Is Board & Train Right for You?
You want a fast, structured reset powered by consistent daily reps.
Your schedule makes it hard to train 30–60 minutes every day.
You want a professional foundation built first, then clear transfer lessons so your dog listens to you.
You’re comfortable with a short stay (1–4 weeks) to jump-start progress.
Board & Train is probably not a fit right now if: your dog has severe separation distress that makes boarding unsafe, or you can’t commit to post-program transfer and maintenance.
We See What You’re Dealing With
- Pulling, barking, reactivity, selective hearing
- Household chaos; no reliable settle
- Crate intolerance; vocalizing; no independent downtime
- Over-arousal in public; meltdowns on beach paths, bikes/scooters
- Door greetings blowups; jumping on guests; threshold rushing
- Potty accidents; inconsistent house training
- Handling sensitivity; grooming/vet intolerance; nails impossible
Want a fast, structured reset and calmer behavior at home and in public? Board & Train gives your dog daily pro reps, then hands the skills back to you with clear transfer lessons—if that’s what you need, this program is right for you.

Client Testimonials
Our clients come to us looking for clarity, confidence, and real change—and their results speak for themselves. These stories show what’s possible when the right training plan meets consistent, compassionate coaching.
We had an exceptional experience with the board and train provided by Alison. We encountered challenges with leash pulling, as my dog exhibited nervousness around other dogs and unfamiliar environments. However, we have observed a significant improvement after training with Alison. She now feels more comfortable around other dogs and enjoys her walks without pulling. Recently, we took her to the dog park, where she engaged with other dogs, displayed increased curiosity, and explored the park independently rather than being tethered to our hip. We received regular updates from Alison, and we were able to view our dog’s activities on Splash’s Instagram stories, which alleviated our own anxieties. We express our gratitude to Alison and the Splash staff for their exceptional service, which we highly recommend.
Alison has been my go-to expert for years now, and she has helped me with multiple dogs. Most recently, she helped me with my rescue, Lola, who was fearful and therefore dog aggressive. It had gotten to the point where we avoided taking her to anywhere we thought could be crowded or might trigger her. After working with Alison, we can now go out in public, enjoy a coffee shop, and even go to a vet visit without worrying about Lola barking and lunging. She is so much more comfortable with other dogs, and her life—and mine—is much fuller. I cannot recommend Splash highly enough!
We were traveling and found Splash to board our boxer. Then we discovered they also offer board and training, so we signed him up, and I’m so glad we did. He is now much more willing to pay attention, sits calmly for longer, and waits at the door until we allow him to cross. I was honestly surprised by how much he learned in just one week. Of course, consistency is key, so we’re also learning how to keep up with the training and support his progress. Allison, the trainer, was absolutely amazing. She sent us videos and pictures throughout the week, and it was clear how much she truly cared for him. He received such great care at this place. Thank you, Splash, for making our travel plans so much easier. It’s such a relief knowing there’s a place where he’s loved and well cared for.
Alison knows what my dog needed right away. They provided solutions to all of my concerns for my dog's training. They also took good care of my dog while boarding him.
Let’s raise a good dog—together.

I have a wonderfully sweet, yet full of energy and enthusiasm, 18 month old golden retriever. Toast came back from a weeklong board & train with Alison, and wow, is she on a transformation journey! Her walk is 100% better! Where she used to pull like a maniac, she is mindful and well behaved. She’s learned to sit when greeting people (mostly! lol). We are still is working on self self-control, but she is worlds better! I’m so happy. Alison took time to train me after the conclusion of the week so that I could practice and work on building her skills and until her next week session.
