Typical range$1,500 to $2,500+general estimate for a typical stayGeneral estimates only. Prices vary by trainer, dog and market.
What a stay usually looks like
- Your dog sleeps and rests in the trainer's care, in a home, a kennel room or a mix of the two.
- Training comes in short blocks spread across the day, with breaks for water, play and quiet time.
- Skills such as walking on a loose leash, settling on a mat and coming when called are practiced in several places.
- Many trainers send photos or short videos so you can see how the days are going.
- The stay ends with a handoff lesson, where the trainer shows you the cues, timing and rules your dog now knows.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Is a board and train stay the same as a boarding kennel?
No. A boarding kennel mainly provides care while you are away. A board and train stay adds a daily training plan and an owner handoff. Ask any provider to describe a normal day in detail.
How long does a stay last?
Lengths vary. Some stays run about two weeks and others run longer. A trainer should explain how the length ties to your goals before you pay.
Will my dog be trained for good when it ends?
Skills fade without practice at home. Think of the stay as a strong start, then plan to keep the routine going once your dog is back.
Can I visit during the stay?
Policies differ. Some trainers welcome scheduled check-ins and others prefer none, since visits can unsettle a dog. Ask before you book and get the answer in writing.
