Private In-Home Board & Train
for Puppies & Adolescent Dogs in Tampa, FL
The Sabbatical is a private, one-on-one in-home board and train program in Tampa, FL designed specifically for puppies and adolescent dogs under 2 years old.
This immersive stay allows training and skill-building to happen naturally within a real home environment — not a kennel or high-volume facility. Whether your pup is building foundations, working through teenage chaos, or needing extra structure during a challenging developmental phase, support is adjusted in real time based on your dog’s needs, environment, and capacity.
Unlike traditional board and train programs that rely on rigid schedules and facility living, The Sabbatical prioritizes realistic routines, fulfillment, and practical life skills that transfer home.
This is not a shared boarding environment.
No rotating groups. No facility stress. Just individualized support tailored to your puppy, your routine, and the obstacles you’re currently navigating together.
The Sabbatical is a strong fit for guardians who are:
Traveling
Feeling overwhelmed
Looking for a reset
Ready for more intensive support during puppyhood or adolescence
All programs include in-home follow-up sessions to help skills transfer smoothly once your dog returns home, along with continued support after.
If your dog needs a safe place to rest their head with a behavior-savvy professional — but not full training immersion — you may prefer my Safe Haven service.

Safe Haven
In-Home Boarding & Supportive Care for dogs of all ages
A private, one-on-one stay for dogs of all ages who will thrive with individualized care, thoughtful activity, and a dog-savvy home base while their people are away.
Each Safe Haven visit is customized to support the dog staying with me. Some dogs benefit from more movement and carefully chosen outings. Others do best with quieter days, familiar routines, and staying closer to home. Plans adjust accordingly.
This option is well-suited for alumni clients, sensitive dogs, dogs who don’t thrive in traditional boarding environments, or dogs who would simply benefit from a behavior savvy professional to provide them with consistency and informed care without a formal training agenda.
All stays are private and one-on-one, allowing for regular communication and updates so guardians can travel without worrying about how their dog is coping.
