Your dog lives and trains full-time with Aaron, then comes home knowing the commands. You get a detailed video after every session and a hands-on handoff, so the training holds at your house, not just his.
Board and train is the fastest way to reset a dog that has gotten out of hand. Your dog comes and lives with Aaron for the length of the program, trains every day in real situations, and comes home knowing the commands. You get a detailed video after every session, and a hands-on handoff so you can run the same handling Aaron does.
Board and train fits dogs whose owners have run out of runway: high energy that never settles, pulling so hard that walks stopped being fun, barking and lunging at other dogs, a dog that ignores every command the second something more interesting shows up. If you have tried to fix it on your own and it is not sticking, full-time training gets you further, faster.
Your dog is not sitting in a run waiting for a training slot. Aaron works your dog through short, clear sessions across the day, then takes the training into the real world: the neighborhood, stores, public spaces, and situations with other dogs and people. Bishop, a board and train graduate, trained in places like Home Depot and Busch Stadium. After every session you get a video showing exactly what changed.
No. During board and train your dog lives and works with Aaron, not warehoused in a kennel run. Marmon Family Dog Training builds the training in real environments, the home, the neighborhood, stores, and public spaces around other dogs, and sends a detailed video after every session so you see exactly where your dog trained.
Aaron builds the handoff into the program on purpose. When your dog comes home he walks you through every command in person, and you keep the session videos for reference. You get the same handling Aaron used plus follow-up support, so the training holds in your house and on your walks, not just at his.
Board and train length depends on the dog and the goal, so Marmon Family Dog Training sets it during the free consultation once Aaron sees what your dog needs. Some programs run a few weeks, others longer. Knox’s owner sent him for six weeks and was glad he did. Aaron gives you a straight timeline before anything starts.
Aaron runs board and train for families across Fairview Heights, Belleville, O’Fallon, Shiloh, Swansea, Collinsville, and Edwardsville, so a proven program is close by. Tell him what your dog is doing and he will tell you straight whether board and train is the right call.

Two board and train graduates, straight from Google. Named dogs, named results.
We sent our Weimaraner, Bishop, for the board-and-train program and could not be happier. The daily videos of Bishop training in places like Home Depot and Busch Stadium gave us so much confidence. Bishop is awesome on and off leash and we feel confident taking him anywhere.
Aaron did a fantastic job with my dog Knox. Sending him away for 6 weeks was tough but I’m more than glad I did it. He helped me as a dog owner better understand what I was doing wrong. I just wish I reached out sooner.
Your dog lives and trains with Aaron 4 to 5 hours a day, comes home with a hands-on handoff and three in-home follow-ups, and the training is guaranteed for life. Financing available with next-day approval.
Lifetime guarantee on the training, in writing, from the man who did the work.
Start with a free consultation. Aaron will tell you whether board & train is the right program for your dog, what it takes, and how long the stay runs. No sales pitch.
