*Board & Train pricing is personalized based on each dog’s behavior, care needs, training goals, and the length of stay recommended after the initial assessment. During your pup’s assessment, we will discuss their unique needs and create a tailored plan designed to give them the best opportunity for meaningful, tail-wagging progress. You will receive a clear overview of the recommended program, nightly rate, and total investment before booking.

Additional dogs from the same household are $75 per night, per dog, following an assessment to ensure a safe and comfortable fit for all pups. A 20% Holiday Paw-remium applies to each dog’s regular Board & Train nightly rate during select holiday periods. For example, a standard $150 nightly stay is $180 during a holiday period, and an additional household dog rate of $75 becomes $90 per night.

Board & Train Program Plans

For teaching solid foundational skills, a minimum stay of 3 to 4 weeks is recommended—enough time for your pup to learn new tricks and have them stick. Tackling more complex issues like fear or aggression often requires longer programs of 6 to 8 weeks to un-leash lasting emotional and behavioral changes. The first few days serve as a crucial sniff-around period for your dog to acclimate and get comfy with their new trainer and environment, as stress can slow down learning. Plus, consistent follow-up and active owner involvement ensure that the new paws-itive habits remain strong once your dog returns home. A thoughtfully designed board and train program that lasts at least 3 to 5 weeks strikes the perfect balance to fetch meaningful and lasting transformation for your furry friend.
