Is Your Dog Making Every Day a Battle?

You love your dog β€” but the constant stress is taking a toll. These are the exact problems we solve every single day at Ignition Canine.

"I've tried everything. YouTube videos, treats, commands β€” nothing works. I'm exhausted, embarrassed, and I don't know what else to do."

Why Owners Choose This

The Board & Train Difference

When your dog lives and trains with us full-time, results are completely different from weekly lessons. Immersive daily training builds new habits at a neurological level β€” habits that stick for life. Your dog comes home transformed, and we coach you on exactly how to maintain it.

Don’t take our word for it β€” here’s what San Antonio families say after training with Ignition Canine.

Our German Shepherd was dangerously aggressive toward strangers and other dogs. We were terrified to take him anywhere. After the Board & Train with Ignition Canine, he's a completely different dog. We can walk him past other dogs, have guests over, and take him anywhere β€” without fear. Worth every penny and more.

We tried three other trainers before Ignition Canine. Nothing worked. Our Lab had severe separation anxiety and would destroy the house every time we left. Within two weeks of the Board & Train, our dog was calm, structured, and completely different. This team is the real deal.

My rescue pit bull had terrible leash reactivity β€” she'd lunge at anything that moved. Ignition Canine did the behavior modification program and I can now walk her past dogs, bikes, and kids without any issues. A year later and she's still perfect. Best investment I've ever made.

We got a puppy and wanted to start her right. The puppy Board & Train was the best decision we ever made. At 4 months old she came back knowing sit, down, stay, place, heel, and recall. Starting early was the smartest move and Ignition Canine made it effortless.

My Doberman would jump on everyone who came in the door. After private lessons with Ignition Canine, he knows his boundaries and greets people calmly. The trainer taught me how to be consistent and now I actually enjoy having people over.

I was honestly considering rehoming my Malinois because of his aggression. Ignition Canine was my last attempt. He's now off-leash reliable, calm around people, and an absolute joy. I'm so glad I made that call.

Common Questions

Answers to Your Top Questions

Most Board & Train programs run 2–4 weeks depending on your dog’s current level and goals. During your free consultation, we’ll assess your dog and give you a specific timeline. Some dogs with severe behavioral issues may benefit from longer programs, which we’ll discuss openly with you.

We work with dogs of all ages β€” from puppies as young as 10–12 weeks to senior dogs. Puppies benefit enormously from early training, but it’s never too late to start. An older dog absolutely can learn new behaviors with the right approach and consistency.

Yes β€” aggression is one of our specialties. We’ve successfully rehabilitated hundreds of dogs with human and dog aggression. During your consultation, we’ll assess the severity and be completely honest with you about what’s realistic for your dog’s specific situation.

We don’t just hand your dog back and wish you luck. We provide full owner transfer coaching β€” hands-on sessions where we teach you exactly how to handle your dog, maintain the training, and continue building on the foundation.

Absolutely. We’ve trained everything from Golden Retrievers and Labradors to German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Pit Bulls, and Dobermans. We understand breed-specific traits and adjust our approach for the best results.

Pricing varies based on the program, your dog’s needs, and duration. We believe in pricing based on what your dog actually needs, not a generic package. Contact us for a free consultation and we’ll give you a transparent quote with no pressure.

Yes! We serve San Antonio and the surrounding Texas Hill Country including Boerne, New Braunfels, Helotes, Schertz, Stone Oak, and more. For Board & Train programs, location is less of an issue since your dog stays with us.
