How much does Cali K9 Los Angeles Dog Training cost?

The Consultation evaluation costs $27. Current Board and Train pricing includes $997 for a one-week returning-client program and $6,997 for the four-week Elite program on the active checkout page; a two-week option is advertised but its price is not exposed on the page reviewed. In-person packages are $1,497 for 12 sessions, $2,497 for 24 sessions, and $4,997 for VIP. Online programs cost $497 or $997. The dedicated in-person program and checkout pages currently list the Elite In-Person package at $2,497, while Cali K9's shop homepage still displays $1,997 for an Elite In-Person package. Because the dedicated program and checkout pages agree at $2,497, that is the stronger current price, but the live-site discrepancy should be noted.
