Based on what the business publishes about itself
JStoutco. Dog Training operates a small, home-style facility in Elk Grove, CA, limiting capacity to about six dogs at a time. According to their site, this smaller scale allows for more individualized attention during training.
Their primary offerings center on board-and-train programs. The longer option runs 4-6 weeks and covers commands like sit, stay, down, place, and heel, along with kennel manners. They also offer what they call a "6-Week Ultimate Pup Training Program" that adds real-world outings to stores, dog parks, and restaurants. A shorter 4-week program focuses on basics but, as they note, requires consistent follow-up practice from owners to maintain results. Their site indicates these programs require prong collars, with e-collar training available as an option for off-leash work.
One emphasis throughout their materials is owner involvement. Rather than training dogs in isolation, they describe wanting clients to participate in sessions, particularly in later weeks of board-and-train stays, so owners learn the techniques needed to reinforce behaviors at home. Private one-hour lessons are also available at the facility, at a park, or in-home. Beyond training, they offer boarding and daycare services, with training available as an add-on during boarding stays.
Board and train runs from a 2-week basic program at $2,000 up to a 6-week intensive at $4,500, with a 4-week option in between. JStoutco. Dog Training also offers private lessons at $100 each (or $500 for six), plus boarding at $75/day and daycare at $50/day. All board and train programs require a prong collar, with e-collar available for the longer option.
$50 per day
The dog stays in care for the day, generally between 7am or 8am and 6pm, for a flat daily rate. Alternative scheduling can be arranged if standard hours don't fit the owner's needs.
The dog is dropped off and cared for at the facility for the day and picked up in the evening.

In this shorter stay, the dog is briefly introduced to commands and manners, gaining only a general sense of them. The site indicates the dog may struggle to perform or remember the training unless the owner continues practicing it. A prong collar is required.

This four-week stay gives the dog an initial introduction to core commands and manners taught in the broader board and train curriculum. The site notes retention may be limited unless the owner keeps practicing after pickup. A prong collar is required for this program.

$4,500
Over six weeks the dog lives with the trainer, working through sit, stay, down, place, heel, distance heel, kennel training, and calm manners like no barking or jumping. The dog also gets socialization outings to stores, dog parks, outdoor restaurants, and pet stores to practice commands in real settings. A prong collar is required, with e-collar training offered for off-leash work.
The dog stays under the trainer's care for the full six weeks, and owners are invited to join training sessions during weeks 3 through 6.
Best for: Owners wanting their dog to reach full command mastery and off-leash reliability, willing to use a prong collar (and optionally an e-collar).

The dog is housed and cared for at the facility overnight, with optional add-on training hours available.
Requirements: Training can be added for an extra $50 per hour; boarding itself includes no training
Focus: Basic obedience
