Pricing

Honest, plain-spoken pricing.

We don't bury rates behind a PDF. Below is what every service costs and a quick read on why ranges land where they do.

What it costs

Pricing by service.

Every new dog starts with a $40 trial day. After that, ongoing pricing depends on cadence — daycare regulars and occasional boarders are priced differently.

Boarding & Daycare

Every dog starts with a trial day so we can meet, do a quick behavioral check, and get them comfortable in the space.

  • Trial day (required)
    Minimum one trial day before regular bookings.
    $40
  • Full-day starter pack — 5 days
    Per household.
    $210
  • Half-day starter pack — 5 days
    Per household.
    $150
  • Ongoing rates after starter pack
    Rates depend on cadence — daycare regulars and boarding-only stays are priced differently.

Why these ranges? Starter packs let you try us at a friendly rate. After that, ongoing pricing is matched to how often your dog comes.

At-Home Training

A trainer comes to your home so we're working in the environment your dog actually lives in.

  • Pay-per-session (90 min)
    $130 – $300
  • Basic package
    $285 – $575
  • Comprehensive package
    $700 – $1,200
  • Specialized package
    $900+
Why these ranges? Ranges reflect intensity, your dog's size and breed, and the goals you're working toward — basic obedience is different from reactivity work.

Board & Train

Your dog stays with us full-time while we work with them every day. Best for clear behavioral goals on a real timeline.

  • 1 week
    $1,475 – $1,900
  • 10 days
    $1,900 – $2,300
  • 2 weeks
    $2,000 – $3,250
  • 3+ weeks
    $4,400 – $6,200+
Why these ranges? Board-and-train pricing scales with the depth of the training plan, not just the calendar — we build the plan with you before the stay.

Grooming

Grooming is offered to current boarding and daycare clients. Familiar dogs make for calmer baths.

Pricing is reviewed periodically. If you've been a client for a while and your invoice changes, we'll always tell you why.
