If you're searching for a board and train dog program in Carmel, Indiana, you want more than just a few lessons. You want a full immersive stay where your dog lives, learns, and transforms. At Big N' Small Paws 317, we serve Carmel, Westfield, Fishers, Noblesville and the surrounding Hamilton County region with a program designed for lasting results.
Board and train programs are ideal when:

• Your dog needs consistent 24/7 training & supervision.
  
• You have a busy schedule and can't commit to multiple weekly sessions.
• You want fast results that last and a trained dog you can bring home confidently.
• You live in Carmel (or nearby) and want local convenience and trust.

At Big N' Small Paws 317 we've crafted our program based on the best practices in the industry and tailored for our Carmel-area clients. Here's what your dog will experience:

From basic commands (sit, down, stay, come) to advanced leash skills, off-leash reliability, and greeting manners, we build a strong foundation for your dog's success.

While staying with us, your dog gets lodging, enrichment, socialization (if appropriate), and supervised field practice (facility-based) so behaviors generalize beyond the training room.

Training doesn't stop when you pick your dog up. We provide two follow-up sessions to ensure you and your dog stay on the same page and maintain the results at home.

Because many clients in Carmel and Westfield prefer a local provider rather than traveling far, we emphasize our proximity, convenience, and community trust.  We offer pickup services.

When comparing options in Carmel, you'll notice some differentiators:

• Local focus: We know Carmel and surrounding neighborhoods and tailor our pickup/drop-off to minimize hassle for you.
  
• Transparent progress: You'll get updates, videos, and clear milestones.
• After-care support: Many programs leave you after drop-off; we stay engaged (ongoing email, text, and phone call support).
• Behavior corrections: Not just manners—if your dog jumps, pulls, barks at the door or is reactive, we address root causes.

This board and train program is ideal if:

• You live in Carmel, Westfield, Fishers or Noblesville and want a local provider.
  
• You're short on time, but want professional training.
• Your dog has ingrained habits that haven't responded to standard training.
• You want a jump-start with your dog and are committed to follow-through.

1. Schedule a free consultation: We'll assess your dog's needs, discuss goals, and explain our program.
2. Select your program length: 21, 30, 45. Depending on your dog's age, behavior, and goals, we tailor the stay.

3. Bring your dog in: Your dog begins their training journey at our facility (convenient for Carmel clients).

4. Attend the weekly 1-on-1 training sessions: Meet with our trainer, get the debrief, and receive your follow-up plan.

5. Maintain the results: Follow our guidance to keep your dog's new skills sharp at home.

Depending on your dog and objectives, we offer varying durations (21, 30, 45 days) to achieve meaningful behavior change.

No — our board and train model focuses on structured training, not large kennel environments.

You'll receive two follow-up sessions, written instructions, and our ongoing email, text, and phone call support to help you maintain success.

Yes, we can accommodate dogs with more advanced behavior issues, but we'll confirm suitability during your evaluation.

Because we combine local convenience (serving Carmel and Hamilton County), professional training, follow-through support and real results.
