What moves the total
- The length of the stay, since each extra week adds boarding and training time.
- The goal, because household manners usually take less time than dependable distance work or help for an anxious dog.
- Whether follow-up lessons after the handoff come with the price or cost extra.
- The setting, such as a home with a few dogs, a purpose-built building or a one-dog arrangement.
- Add-ons like transport, a bath before pickup or giving medication.
- Deposits, cancellation terms and what happens if hurricane season changes plans.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Why is the total larger than for private lessons?
You are paying for boarding plus daily training. Private lessons are generally estimated at $75 to $150 each, so a stay costs more up front.
Is the lowest price the best value?
Not automatically. Compare what each price includes, from updates to the handoff lesson.
What belongs in a written agreement?
Dates, total cost, what will be taught, update schedule, handoff lesson, aftercare and cancellation terms.
Are these figures quotes?
No. They are general estimates that vary by trainer, dog and market.
