The Pinnacle of Behavior Modification in Central PA

True transformation requires consistency and a deep understanding of canine psychology. Our York County Board and Train program removes your dog from their normal triggers, placing them in a structured, professional environment where they can focus entirely on learning without the distractions of home.

Comprehensive Immersive Training for York County

Attempting to fix severe behavioral issues during a chaotic workweek is incredibly difficult. Our York County Board and Train service is the ultimate fast-track to clear communication. We handle the heavy lifting, teaching your dog foundational obedience, advanced impulse control, and critical boundary manners using low-stress, science-based methods. But we don't just train your dog in a bubble. We generalize these new skills by taking them into public environments, ensuring they know how to behave whether they are in your living room or walking through a crowded York park. Once the heavy lifting is done, we dedicate extensive time to transferring those skills back to you, so you know exactly how to lead your newly trained dog.

The Stateline Experience: How It Works

We maintain total transparency so you know exactly what is happening during your dog's educational vacation:

1. The Temperament Evaluation

We start by meeting you and your dog to understand the exact behavior modifications needed to reach your goals.

2. The Tailored Blueprint

Relying on our philosophy, we create a scientifically backed training plan specifically suited to your dog's drives and personality.

3. The Immersive Stay

Your dog moves into our secure facility, receiving daily intensive, motivational training. We send you regular progress updates and videos!

4. The Transfer of Leadership

During graduation, we don't just hand over a leash. We conduct a thorough turnover lesson, ensuring you understand exactly how to issue commands.

5. The Lifetime Support

If you ever struggle with a command down the road, our ongoing support and free refresher lessons are always available to you.

Serving York County and the Surrounding Pennsylvania Communities

While our headquarters is easily accessible, we proudly welcome dogs from all over York County, including Shrewsbury, Red Lion, and downtown York. We know that Central PA pet owners want a dog they can confidently take to local breweries, state parks, and family gatherings. Our immersive Board and Train program is specifically engineered to make that dream a reality, generalizing obedience so your dog is a perfect gentleman or lady in any environment.

I can’t begin to explain how helpful and wonderful all the staff and trainers were to me and my boy Gunner. I came in with a puppy that had no manners and all around wild child, hated to admit it but I needed help. After the 4 week day train program I was left with a better mannered pup and all the tools needed to continue to have the best possible relationship and well mannered dog in the future. Everyone was very kind, patient and understanding with me and my wild fur child. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better experience for me and my boy Gunner. Thank you again everyone that worked with me and Gunner, continuing with what me and him were taught you guys gave me the perfect stepping stones to having a well mannered pup in the future.

We take our GSD to Stateline in Hanover. First, we could not ask for a better team to work with our dog. They are always friendly, understanding, patient, and happy. I honestly can say the staff is always happy to assist, answer questions, and are there every step of the way. They take care of our dog during the day just like I would want for my children. When she has had accidents, they bathe her. When she has an upset belly, they tell us. When we had to reschedule, they worked with us without a problem. When we are doing training, they are able to also laugh with us & dont make us feel “dumb”. Its only been 3 weeks and its like I have a new dog. I have more confidence from their support and our life has started to become easier for all of us. We will forever be grateful for Stateline & all of the staff.

I wanted to share how amazing Austin the trainer is. He did a fantastic job with our 2 year old Cane Corso Ellie Mae. We were at our wits end. She wanted nothing to do with the mussel. Within an hour he had mastered it. It was unbelievable. I would highly recommend Austin and the team at Stateline Canine.

Can’t say enough good things about all my experiences with Sateline. As a new dog owner I was extremely nervous to make sure I was doing all the right things. They were extremely helpful during and after training. The end result is the perfect adventure buddy. She went from a bit of unpredictable puppy to a fun companion and I feel very grateful I took the leap. Stateline gave me the tools needed to maintain everything Wayland learned along the way and it’s been a massive bonus to have a trusted place to board her. I think sometimes she doesn’t even want to leave when I pick her up lol. Shout out to Naomi and all the other professional trainers for their help and great care of Wayland. Great investment and your little one is in good hands with Stateline. Thanks again!

I recently attended a Janet Edwards seminar, and it was truly life-changing. The amount of experience, knowledge, and valuable information she shared was incredible. I left with so much to think about and apply, and it was one of the most impactful and educational dog training experiences I’ve had. I’ve also attended Shawn Edwards seminars, and those were amazing as well. Both bring so much experience, insight, and real-world knowledge to the table, and it’s clear how much they have to offer the dog training community. I have also previously used State Line for other seminars and events, and every experience there has been excellent. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and set up really well for dogs and handlers. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming, and it’s absolutely a place I would trust with my dog anytime. If you’re looking for a professional dog training facility, high-quality dog training seminars, and experienced people who truly know dogs, I would absolutely recommend State Line.

Great place for training. We took our shelter rescue staffy mix here for boarding and training. After 3 weeks of training she was ready to come home. The staff was great throughout her training. We received numerous phone calls and text messages about her during her training. On pick up day we never felt rushed by the staff and they were great with going over all the commands with all 3 of us. I would highly recommend them to anyone who's looking for a great service at a fair and reasonable price
