Board and train in Washington — FAQ
How many board and train programs are there in Washington?
This directory lists 97 board and train programs across 68 cities in Washington, including Tacoma, Vancouver, Seattle. 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 Washington?
Expect roughly $1,500–$6,000 for most Washington 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 Washington 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.
