Board and train in Hawaii — FAQ

How many board and train programs are there in Hawaii?

This directory lists 16 board and train programs across 11 cities in Hawaii, including Honolulu, Kailua, Haiku. Listings are verified against each business's own website; the directory grows as new programs are added and confirmed.

How much does board and train cost in Hawaii?

Expect roughly $1,500–$6,000 for most Hawaii programs. Metro-area trainers and those keeping only a few dogs at a time charge more; rural kennel-based programs tend to be cheaper. Behavior modification for aggression or severe reactivity runs highest, often $4,000 and up for a four-to-six-week stay.

Is it worth traveling within Hawaii for a board and train?

Often, yes. Because your dog stays with the trainer, you only make the trip at drop-off and pick-up — so a two-hour drive to a trainer who specializes in your dog's specific problem usually beats a nearby generalist. The main reason to stay local is the follow-up lessons, which are easier to attend if the trainer is close.
