How to compare
Price the outcome, not the week.
A one-week stay installs structure and a loose leash. Two weeks adds place, impulse control and the manners most families call about. Three weeks is where reactivity and aggression get worked in public and where unlimited lessons afterwards make the result hold. Six weeks is complete off-leash reliability with the e-collar taught to you at home. The free phone consultation exists to tell you plainly which one your dog needs, including when the cheaper one is right.
Questions
About the prices.
How much does dog training cost at Best Dog University?
Board and train runs from $1,500 for the one-week Silver program to $10,000 for the six-week VIP program, with Gold at $2,500 and Platinum at $3,750. Private lessons are $160 at the Cypress training home or $220 in your home. The Puppy Development Bundle is $550 in Cypress or $750 in-home. Every price is on this page and nothing is quoted differently on the phone.
Is there a deposit, and does it come off the price?
Yes. A $250 reservation deposit holds your dates on the calendar and is applied to the program price, so it is not an extra fee. Checkout is by GoDaddy Payments on the reserve page and our team confirms the dates by phone or text.
What does transportation cost?
Door-to-door pickup and return is $250 and includes the first lesson in your home, so the go-home session happens where the training has to hold. It is included in the VIP program.
Are there hidden costs, add-ons or equipment to buy?
No. The program price covers the stay, the training, the updates, the go-home session and the follow-up that program includes. Our team advises on equipment on the free call and you do not need to buy anything in advance. The Mini-Educator e-collar is included in VIP.
Which program is the best value?
For most adult dogs with real problems, the three-week Platinum program: it is the only one under $5,000 with field trips, behavior modification and unlimited private lessons afterwards. For a puppy under four months the bundle is the right money, and for a single manners problem a private lesson or two is.
Do you offer payment plans or financing?
Ask our team on the free phone consultation. Prices, deposit and what each program includes are fixed and published; how you pay is a conversation.
