Typical range$1,500 to $2,500+for 2 to 3 weeksGeneral estimates only. Prices vary by trainer, dog and market.
Why two stays can differ by hundreds of dollars
- Length of the stay, since a third week adds daily work and daily care.
- How many dogs one trainer handles at the same time.
- Whether your handoff lessons are inside the price or billed separately.
- The goals on the list: basic manners cost less than a full leash and recall rebuild.
- Extras such as vaccination checks, supplies, photo updates and pickup or delivery.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Is $1,500 the floor for a stay?
It is a general starting point for two weeks of structured work, not a rule. Some programs sit below it and some well above, so compare what each price actually includes.
What should the written price list show?
Length of stay, number of handoff lessons, what is billed extra and the refund or change policy. If any of that is verbal only, ask for it in writing.
Does a higher price mean better training?
Not automatically. A higher price may reflect fewer dogs per trainer or a longer stay, but method and communication matter more than the number.
Are deposits normal?
Many trainers hold a spot with a deposit. Ask when it becomes non-refundable and what happens if your dog is sick on the start date.
