About this directory

Board & Train HQ lists 258 dog board-and-train programs across 46 states and 164 cities. It exists because searching "board and train near me" returns review-site noise and paid ads, with no straightforward way to see who actually runs these programs in your area.

How listings get here

Listings are compiled from public sources and then checked against the business's own website. A listing is published only when that site loads and confirms the business genuinely offers board and train. Programs we can't confirm stay unpublished rather than padding the count.

Descriptions summarize what each trainer says about their own program. We don't rank by quality, rate trainers, or verify training outcomes — that judgment is yours, and the buyer's guide covers how to make it.

How this is funded

Standard listings are free and stay free. Revenue comes from optional featured listings at $30/month, which buy placement — a highlighted card above free listings in that city — and nothing else. Featured status is always labeled. It does not affect whether a business is listed, and we take no commission on any business a trainer wins through this site.

Quote requests are passed to relevant trainers at no charge to either side.

Corrections

Details change and businesses close. If a listing is wrong, out of date, or you'd like it removed, tell us and we'll fix it — no account or login required.
