When local families in Westfield, Indiana need lasting obedience and real behavior change, they turn to our Board & Train program at Big N' Small Paws 317.
From leash-pulling and reactivity to complete off-leash reliability, our structured approach transforms chaos into calm. These stories come straight from right here in Hamilton County — real dogs, real progress, and real results.

What Makes Our Westfield Board & Train Program Different

Many board and train programs focus on temporary obedience.
At Big N' Small Paws 317, we focus on transformation — reshaping mindset, confidence, and communication between dog and owner.

Each dog in our care receives:

A personalized training plan based on temperament
Daily obedience and socialization sessions
Real-world field trips for public focus work
Structure, rest, and mental balance every day

Our goal? When your dog returns home, they don't just "know commands" — they understand calm behavior.

Real Stories, Real Change

Koa — From Unfocused to Reliable Recall

Koa, a young Doddle from The Village of WestClay, came to us with zero recall and a love for running off.
After a 3-week board and train, Koa now recalls instantly, even around distractions. Her family can enjoy leash-free park time with complete confidence. "We never thought Koa could listen off-leash. Now we can take her anywhere!" — Westfield, IN

Brutus — From Chaos to Confidence

Brutus, a Rottweiler who struggled with impulse control, went through our Real-World Board & Train program.
We introduced balanced structure, desensitization, and public exposure work. Now Brutus confidently heels through downtown Westfield without pulling or barking.
