What shapes the price of a stay
- Length of the stay, since each added week means more daily care and more training time.
- Whether the dog lives in the trainer's own home or in a kennel-style building, and how many dogs share the space.
- How many one-on-one sessions happen each day and how long they last.
- Whether the owner handoff lessons are part of the price or billed separately.
- The goals involved: basic manners usually cost less than a long list of habits that need rebuilding.
- Extras such as daily photo updates, a written practice plan or follow-up check-ins after the dog is home.

Good questions
Before you begin.
What does a normal day look like during a stay?
It varies by trainer, but most days mix short training sessions with exercise, meals, rest and quiet time. Ask for a sample schedule so you can see how much of the day is real training and how much is rest.
What should I ask before choosing a program?
Ask where your dog will sleep, how many dogs the trainer handles at once, what methods and equipment are used, how you will receive updates and what the handoff lessons cover. Ask for the full price and the cancellation terms in writing.
Can I visit during the stay?
Policies differ. Some trainers welcome a scheduled visit, others prefer a quiet period so the dog can settle. Either approach can be reasonable, as long as the trainer explains it up front.
What happens when my dog comes home?
Plan for a handoff lesson, a written practice plan and a few weeks of steady, consistent practice. Skills fade when the household stops using them, so the first month at home matters a great deal.
