What moves the price
- The length of the stay, since more days of care and training add up.
- How much one-on-one time your dog gets each day compared with time spent resting.
- The number of dogs the trainer looks after at once.
- Whether handoff lessons and follow-up support are part of the total or sold separately.
- Extras such as daily video updates, special diets or medication handling.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Is $1,500 a realistic starting point?
As a general estimate, yes. Prices below that may mean a shorter stay or fewer inclusions, so ask what the total covers.
Do I pay everything up front?
Practices vary. Some trainers take a deposit and the balance later. Ask for the payment schedule and the refund terms in writing.
Are there costs beyond the stay?
Possibly. Follow-up lessons, vaccination records, boarding extensions and travel for handoff visits can add to the total. Ask for every fee up front.
Is a cheaper private lesson package a better value?
It can be, depending on your goal. Lessons teach you directly, while a stay gives daily focused work. Compare both for your dog.
