Most boarding facilities provide your dog with a place to stay while you're away.

Lifetime Boarding gives you something more: a familiar place your dog can return to whenever you need it.

After completing Sigma K9's 2-Week Board & Train Program, eligible dogs can enroll in Lifetime Boarding and receive a set number of boarding weeks every year for the life of the program.

Choose the option that fits your needs:

1 Week • 2 Weeks • or 4 Weeks of Boarding Every Year

Use your boarding time for vacations, work travel, holidays, or whenever life requires you to be away from home.

Your dog already knows us.

We already know your dog.

That's what makes the program different.

Lifetime Boarding is designed for owners who want more than a one-time boarding solution.

Once your dog completes the required Sigma K9 training program and enrolls in Lifetime Boarding, your selected boarding allowance is available every year for the duration of the program.

You don't have to start over with a new boarding facility every time you travel.

Your dog has an established relationship with Sigma K9, and we already understand their training, routine, temperament, and individual needs.

Train once. Build the relationship. Keep coming back.

Lifetime Boarding is available in three options:

Receive up to 1 week of boarding each year.

Ideal for owners who only need occasional boarding but want the security of having a familiar place for their dog to stay.

Receive up to 2 weeks of boarding each year.

A flexible option for owners who travel periodically or want more than a single annual stay.

Receive up to 4 weeks of boarding each year.

Designed for owners who travel frequently or want the maximum amount of annual boarding included in their Lifetime Boarding plan.

You can use your available weeks when you need them, subject to availability and advance scheduling.

Your weeks may be used together for one longer stay or divided between multiple stays throughout the year.

Lifetime Boarding begins with training.

Every dog enrolled in the program must complete Sigma K9's 2-Week Board & Train Program before their first Lifetime Boarding stay.

This gives us the opportunity to:

• Get to know your dog
• Establish a training foundation
• Learn your dog's individual personality and needs
• Establish clear routines and expectations
• Evaluate how your dog handles different environments
• Build familiarity and trust between your dog and Sigma K9

By the time your first boarding stay arrives, your dog isn't meeting us for the first time.

They're coming back to a place they already know.

Lifetime Boarding isn't designed to be a high-volume boarding service.

Your dog's stay takes place within the same structured environment and expectations established during their Sigma K9 training.

While boarding, we reinforce the foundation your dog has already developed, including:

• Obedience
• Impulse control
• Place and settling
• Leash manners
• Calm behavior
• Household structure
• Appropriate social behavior
• Previously established training expectations

The goal isn't to turn every boarding stay into another formal training program.

It's to maintain the standards you've already worked to establish.

Every boarding experience doesn't have to begin with a new facility, new staff, and a completely unfamiliar routine.

With Lifetime Boarding, your dog returns to Sigma K9.

We already know their:

• Training history
• Temperament
• Routine
• Obedience level
• Individual needs
• Established expectations

And your dog already knows the environment, the people, and the structure.

That familiarity can make the boarding experience simpler and more predictable for both you and your dog.

Your need for boarding isn't always predictable.

Maybe you're taking a vacation.

Maybe work requires you to travel.

Maybe you're visiting family for the holidays.

Or maybe something unexpected comes up.

Lifetime Boarding gives you an established boarding relationship you can rely on.

Instead of searching for a new boarding facility every time you leave town, you already know where your dog will stay—and your dog already knows where they're going.

When available within the Sigma K9 service area, concierge pickup and drop-off can be arranged for Lifetime Boarding clients.

That means less coordination for you and a smoother transition for your dog.

Transportation arrangements can be discussed when your boarding stay is scheduled.

Lifetime Boarding is intentionally limited so that Sigma K9 can maintain familiarity with the dogs enrolled in the program.

Lifetime Boarding clients receive priority consideration when scheduling their boarding stays, subject to availability and advance notice.

Because the program remains small, we can continue to provide the level of individual attention that makes Lifetime Boarding different from traditional boarding.

Lifetime Boarding is available to dogs that have completed, or are enrolled to complete, the Sigma K9 2-Week Board & Train Program.

All dogs must complete the 2-Week Board & Train Program before their first Lifetime Boarding stay.

This requirement isn't simply about eligibility.

It's what makes the program work.

Before your dog ever stays with us, we've had the opportunity to train together, establish expectations, understand your dog's individual needs, and build a relationship with them.

Once that foundation is established, your dog can become part of the Lifetime Boarding program.

The idea behind Lifetime Boarding is simple:

Train once. Build the relationship. Come back whenever you need us.

Your initial Board & Train program establishes the foundation.

Your Lifetime Boarding plan gives you a familiar place to return to year after year.

And because we already know your dog, each stay starts from a place of familiarity rather than introduction.

It's not just a place to leave your dog while you're away.

It's a long-term relationship with a trainer who already knows them.

Start with the 2-Week Board & Train Program.

Once your dog completes the program and is approved for Lifetime Boarding, you can choose the 1-, 2-, or 4-week Lifetime Boarding option that best fits your needs.

Feel free to inquire about the different Lifetime Boarding options, and we'll discuss availability and which option makes sense for you and your dog.

Every dog is different, and some require a little more customization.

When you inquire about Lifetime Boarding, we'll discuss your dog's individual routine and any additional care you may want during their stay.

Depending on your dog's needs, a la carte care options may include:

• Home-prepared meals
• Raw-food transition and feeding
• Medication administration
• Individual exercise and enrichment
• Additional one-on-one training
• Special feeding schedules
• Other individualized care arrangements

These options are discussed and priced separately based on your dog's needs and the length of their stay.

Tell us what your dog needs, and we'll build the boarding experience around them.
