Pros of a Dog Board and Train

If you find that you lack the knowledge or confidence to train your dog yourself, or if you find yourself with a dog that is exhibiting undesirable behaviors such as aggression, then a dog board and train might be just the ticket. 

The staff at these facilities are licensed dog behavior professionals. They can teach your dog simple things like training them to walk on a leash.

They will also spend some time training YOU, so that you know what to do once you get your pet back home! So they do offer a complete service. 

And having your dog board at the facility means that:

  • Your dog can focus fully on their training, without getting confused.
  • You don’t have the inconvenience of having to drop them off and pick them up each day.

 

Cons of a Dog Board and Train

One con of a dog board and train is that your dog has been taught manners by a professional. Once your dog returns home, a lot of effort is required to maintain its training. Unless you have the motivation to keep up the hard work, you may have wasted your money.

Speaking of money, the expense of these facilities may be prohibitive for some people. They are not cheap. But this is not surprising when you consider what they offer you and your dog.

This leads to the question…

 

How much is Dog Training at a Dog Board and Train?

The answer to this question is – it varies. You may be looking at a base rate of $35-50 per day just for the boarding. This boarding may be pretty basic, or it might be quite luxurious. Boarding fees will also depend on whether or not they provide food for your dog.

The training element of the facility comes at an extra cost. You could be looking at $35 dollars per hour for training – base rate – up to as high as $100, depending on the qualifications and experience of the trainer. It’s not uncommon for a three week board & train to cost between $3000-5000.

 

Do Your Research!

It pays to do a quick Google search on “dog board and train near me”, to check out the prices, qualifications, and the fine print of what each establishment offers. Ideally, you should aim to find a facility that offers a combination of experience and value.

Which facility you choose will also depend on the age of your dog. Do you have a young dog that you’d like to go to puppy school? Or do you have an older dog that may have learned some bad habits over the years that needs some re-education?

It is very important that you do your research. Be sure to check out as many reviews as you can from previous clients. This will help you make the most informed decision about your particular needs, circumstances, and budget.

If you do decide to invest in a dog board and train, you want to ensure that your fur kid gets the best experience possible, and comes home to you happy, healthy, well-trained, and ready to go for that polite leash walk!
