Board & Train pricing
Each dog's nightly rate is individually evaluated and ranges from $200 to $360. At The Wild Fern, we are committed to keeping our prices as low as possible while ensuring that we’re able to provide detail-oriented, thorough board & train programs. As a result, your dog's per-night rate is tailored specifically to them.
For transparency, we invite you to take a peek at our process in determining rates. You can find the baseline rate for your dog's age and neuter status on this page. From there, you'll find a comprehensive (but non-exhaustive) list of the factors we consider when determining your dog's rate.

Other Determining factors
Below is a non-exhaustive list of other factors that are taken into consideration whenever deciding the final daily rate given the above baseline price.
For example, a neutered adult male dog may have a higher rate if they are not crate trained or experience separation anxiety. An intact female puppy may pay less if they are already fully potty trained and reliable off leash.
