It varies on if you do a full program or if you have specific issues etc. It' was worth every penny for us. It's board and train only with human training sessions at the end of the board and train.

We left our Golden Retriever puppy with Natalia and Melody for the board and train program. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. They’ve done an incredible job! Her walks are now a breeze, and she’s a well-behaved puppy overall. Her Golden nature hasn’t changed at all. Not only did they train her, but they also loved and took care of her. After the board and train program ended, they provided us with a two-hour lesson. Melody even came to our home for a follow-up session. We’re always welcome at the facility for any additional sessions.

I've had both Natalia and Grace train dogs for me and both have done a WONDERFUL job. I got constant texts, photos and videos. Natalia trained our blind, 2 yr old Great Dane (Rolex) and Grace trained our 8 mo old Great Dane pup, Poppy. We just got Poppy back from Grace after 4 weeks and she is a different dog. MUCH more responsive, especially with the recall, which was a HUGE issue prior to training. Most importantly, she retained her happy-go-lucky, sweet baby girlness. It is very clear to me that dogs LOVE their trainers.
