Most programs in the San Antonio area fall between $1,500 and $6,000. The spread comes down to three things: how long your dog stays, how many dogs the trainer handles at once, and whether you need behavior work or just obedience. A two-week obedience program sits at the low end; four to six weeks of behavior modification for reactivity or aggression sits at the top.
Ask every trainer the same question — what's included? Equipment, the go-home lesson, and follow-up sessions are sometimes bundled and sometimes billed separately, which can move the real total by several hundred dollars.

Board and train programs in and around San Antonio, TX generally run $1,500–$6,000 depending on length and intensity. Two-week obedience programs sit at the lower end; multi-week behavior modification for reactivity or aggression sits at the top. Several of the 17 programs listed here publish pricing, but most quote after an evaluation — request quotes from two or three to compare what is actually included.
Visit in person before booking. Ask how many dogs the trainer takes at once, who will personally handle your dog, where dogs sleep, what methods and equipment are used, and how many follow-up lessons are included. Ask for references from clients with a dog like yours. A trainer who welcomes a facility tour and answers method questions plainly is worth more than one with a slicker website.
Some do, particularly for clients within a metro radius, and a few include transport in the program price. Others require you to drop off and pick up yourself — which many trainers prefer anyway, since the pick-up visit doubles as your go-home lesson. Ask when you request a quote; it is listed inconsistently on trainer websites.
Board and train is one of the few dog training services people routinely travel for, precisely because the dog stays on site — you make the drive twice rather than weekly. It is common to use a trainer one to three hours away, and some programs draw clients from neighboring states. Widen your search to the state page before settling for a program you are unsure about.
