How long does your Board & Train program last?

How much does your Board & Train program cost?
Our premium Board & Train programs range from $2,500 to $5,500 depending on the severity of the behavior and length of training required. We discuss exact pricing after evaluating your dog.
Is my dog too old (or too far gone) to be trained?
No. While early training is ideal, dogs of all ages can learn with the right structure and consistency. We’ve successfully worked with older dogs and those with long-standing behavior issues by creating clear boundaries, rebuilding confidence, and implementing a consistent training system.
