Board & train · Platinum · 3 weeks
Three weeks. Real transformation.
Platinum Board & Train. Our most recommended program for complete behavior transformation, reliable obedience and real-world results.
The program
3 weeks in Seth’s home.
Our 3-Week Platinum Program is our most recommended and comprehensive option, designed for dogs that need real transformation, not just basic obedience. This program builds on everything covered in our 2-week program, while taking your dog to a much higher level of reliability, control, and real-world behavior.
In addition to advanced obedience, we introduce down/stay and the heel command, strengthen impulse control, and focus heavily on behavior modification. This is our best option for addressing more challenging issues such as reactivity, aggression, and overall lack of control in stimulating environments.
To ensure your dog’s training translates into everyday life, this program includes real-world exposure through field trips, where we work through distractions and reinforce calm, obedient behavior outside of the training environment.
You’ll also receive unlimited private lessons and a comprehensive handover session to ensure you feel confident maintaining your dog’s results moving forward. This is the program for owners who want lasting change, reliable obedience, and a dog they can confidently live with and enjoy in any situation.

Professional photo and video updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so you see the progress as it happens.

What they say.
“Olive spent two weeks there and learned so much. Seth gave her a strong foundation that we can continue building on at home.”
“If you want a trainer who educates you as well as your dog, look no further.”
Questions
Good to know.
Where does my dog stay during a board and train?
In Seth’s home in Cypress, not a warehouse or kennel. That in-home environment is the point: real-world training in everyday settings, so the results transfer to your home.
Who actually trains my dog?
Seth Purdom, personally. Over 16 years of hands-on experience and more than 900 dogs trained. Best Dog University keeps a limited number of dogs at a time so every program stays customized.
Will I hear from you while my dog is away?
Yes. Professional photo and video updates go out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so you see the progress as it happens.
What happens when the program ends?
A go-home session where you’re shown exactly how to maintain and build on the results. After that, follow-up lessons and lifetime support. Platinum includes unlimited private lessons; VIP includes unlimited in-home lessons.
Do you offer pick-up and drop-off?
Yes. The $250 transportation service picks your dog up from home, returns them when the program is complete, and includes the first lesson in your home. Transport home is already included in the VIP program.
What if my dog only needs a refresher?
The 1-Week Silver Foundation Program is a short-term introduction focused on basic structure and foundational obedience. Seth will tell you on the free call if it’s the right fit, or if your dog needs the time and repetition of a longer program.
