Why owners choose this
One trainer. Your dog. Real results.
We do not refer owners to franchise training chains. In our view, they lean on less experienced staff and indoor facilities instead of real-world training.
Good questions
Before we begin.
What is a typical price for board and train?
A two to three week program often costs $1,500 to $2,500, and longer programs can run up to $4,000 or more. Your trainer sets the real price.
Is a deposit normal?
Many trainers ask for one to hold a spot. Ask about the refund policy before you pay.
What should the price include?
Ask whether daily training, boarding, the handoff lesson and follow-up are all covered, and whether any fees are extra.
Are there extra costs?
Possibly. Examples include food, medications, extended stays or a vet visit. Get these in writing before the stay starts.
