Let's discuss your needs

Why are board & trains so expensive?

They're not! Here's why...

You may feel a little initial "sticker shock" when considering a Board & Train program for your dog. The cost may seem pricey, but when you break it down, it's a really good deal!

The cost (for one dog) goes like this: A two-week program is $2600 for 14 days which is about $185/day, the training maintenance boarding for 13 days is $60/night. This leaves only $125/day for training throughout the day. A regularly priced one hour private session is $130/hour! The included exit session basically gives you a free day of training during the program, and you also receive a 30 minute follow-up check-in via phone or virtual meeting!

Is there a discount if I enroll two dogs at the same time?

It's actually a lot more complicated to effectively work two dogs from the same household. They need to be trained separately, THEN they have to be put back together and worked at the same time to make sure all the training sticks. It's equivalent to working three cases at once!

Why is a one-week program more costly than a two-week program?

It takes a day or two for the dog to adjust and for me to build a relationship with your dog before any training can begin. This leaves only a few short days for us to work as a team and is not as effective given the short duration. Therefore, a one-week program is only available for one skill or issue that you need help with.
