Board and train in Louisiana — FAQ

How many board and train programs are there in Louisiana?

This directory lists 54 board and train programs across 33 cities in Louisiana, including New Orleans, Slidell, Baton Rouge. 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 Louisiana?

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