Yacht Residency is the most expensive dog training program in the world — and the only one of its kind. A private, at-sea residency where your dog lives and trains aboard a luxury sailing catamaran, this experience combines elite behavioral integration with a lifestyle most humans will never touch. Only one dog is accepted at a time, and entry is strictly by personal invitation.
Living aboard the yacht removes the noise and habits of land life, allowing uninterrupted focus on shaping behaviour, sharpening responsiveness, and integrating your dog into a completely new lifestyle. Every detail — from daily structure to environmental challenges — is customised to your dog’s temperament, your personal handling style, and the realities of your life.
During training, your dog will also explore uninhabited islands — places only a select few humans ever see, let alone dogs. These excursions become living classrooms, where your dog experiences the unparalleled freedom of running off-leash in pristine, distraction-controlled environments, while maintaining complete accountability and connection.
Training aboard is not limited to the water. Ports, marinas, and shoreline towns serve as real-world testing grounds for distractions and variables, ensuring your dog can perform with precision both in the controlled environment onboard and in unpredictable public spaces.
This is not simply a Board & Train. It is a complete reset conducted in absolute privacy, combining the discipline of the Trained for Life™ system with the seclusion and focus only a yacht can provide.
