DOG TRAINING WHILE BOARDING : BRK & SK9A

Enhance your dog's boarding stay at Bell Reed Kennels with purposeful training options like our Bronze, Silver, Gold training packages.
Choose daily enrichment, focused on site coaching and real-world proofing, all provided by Sussex Canine Academy while your dog is already on site.
Enjoy less wasted energy and more useful structure with training that seamlessly fits into the time your dog is spending away from home.
With a SK9A training add-on, some of that time can also be utilized effectively. For one dog, this might translate into daily cooperative play and engagement, while for another, it could mean focused loose lead work, similar to what we cover in our Silver training package.
For a dog with stronger foundations, it might involve recall practice and real-world proofing away from the kennels site, much like the exercises included in our Silver or Gold training packages. You select the level of input that suits your needs. At Sussex Canine Academy, we manage the dog training while your dog stays at BRK.
This means no extra drop-offs, no need to squeeze in another appointment during your busy week, and no feeling like your dog’s education has to pause just because you’re away. With options like the Gold training package, you can ensure your dog receives the best training experience possible.

The Gold training package encompasses everything from the Silver training package, but also includes two off-site dog training sessions.
This allows us to begin proofing behaviors in real-world environments.
Recall practice off-site will take place in a secure rented dog field to ensure safety. Meanwhile, proofing of leash skills can occur in diverse settings, such as rural and urban locations, and if preferred, a secure rented field can be arranged.

Bronze, Silver, and Gold training packages add professional training to a BRK stay. These programs can enrich your dog's routine, help develop a specific skill, and provide owners with useful momentum.
Please note that these training packages are not full board and train programs.
A full board and train experience involves a more comprehensive training plan, a longer minimum stay, and greater owner training transfer. Currently, due to high business demands, we are not accepting new full board and train clients. This service will only be available to our current and previous clients who are struggling to meet their training needs.
If your dog requires behavior modification, the Bronze, Silver, and Gold training packages will not suffice, and we recommend looking into our Reactivity boot camp program.
Additionally, please be aware that training sessions are not filmed; however, occasional clips may be captured for our SK9A and BRK social media. We encourage you to follow both accounts but remember that sharing specific clips is not guaranteed nor can it be requested.


Cameron’s expertise in dog training is truly unparalleled, making a significant impact in managing the training of two dogs. Thanks to the structured program and excellent advice provided in the Bronze training package, we achieved outstanding behavioral improvements in just four sessions. The results are substantial; no more pulling, reactivity towards other dogs has vanished, and I now enjoy reliable recall, allowing me to safely transition to off-lead walks. This capability is a massive quality of life improvement after four years of strict on-leash training, and I can’t wait to explore the benefits of the Silver, Gold, and Platinum training packages in the future.

I cannot recommend SK9A highly enough. Four weeks ago, the thought of having our over-excitable, slightly dog-reactive dog off-lead in public seemed impossible. However, after completing the e-collar package, we’re now able to take her off-lead around other dogs, which has been a remarkable change. The entire training process was tailored to our needs and it has been incredibly satisfying, instilling a lot of confidence in us. We previously worked with many trainers, but I can confidently say that Cameron stands out as the most knowledgeable. He prioritizes the dog's wellbeing and enrichment in every training session, whether it's part of the Bronze training package, Silver training package, Gold training package, or the Platinum training package. Cameron is also super approachable; he never makes you feel silly for asking questions and clearly enjoys the training process. I highly, highly recommend SK9A!

"Oh wow. Tobi has improved immensely with the help of the Bronze training package...I’m in awe!"
"Tobi astounds me; his intelligence is pretty amazing. He has learnt so much in such a short space of time through the Silver training package that his transformation is incredible!"
"Every time I see him, my heart lights up and I can’t stop smiling. He’s having an amazing time thanks to the Gold training package, and we can’t 'thank you' enough!"
"Oh my... that’s Tobi’s first trip to the seaside! Look at him; he's loving it! That’s incredible—he feels like a new doggie, all thanks to the Platinum training package!"
