Board and train in Illinois — FAQ

How many board and train programs are there in Illinois?

This directory lists 3 board and train programs across 1 city in Illinois, including Chicago. 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 Illinois?

Expect roughly $1,500–$6,000 for most Illinois 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 Illinois 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.
