Can my dog stay longer than two weeks?

If the team can arrange extra nights, their order matters. Nights placed before the program act as settling-in time: your dog learns the suite, the routine and the playgroups before any training begins. Training placed last ends close to your return, so the go-home lesson follows the final training day rather than a week of plain care. Reverse the order and the freshest work sits idle while you are still away.

Worked example, from published prices: a three-week trip. The first week is an ordinary overnight stay, 7 nights at $78, or $546, with playgroups by day and 24/7 monitoring; the Dogtown Classic bundle would add $10 a night and the Deluxe $15. Advanced then covers the last two weeks at its quoted price, and the lesson falls the day after you land. Whether the nights can run straight into the program is confirmed at the consult.

Dogtown's longer programs keep your dog at home at night, and that is the point. Canine Campus is hybrid day training with pick-up and drop-off: Freshman runs 2 weeks with about 10 training and adventure days, Dean's List 4 weeks with about 20 sessions, and Graduate 6 weeks with about 30, each with daily reports, homework and an end-of-program lesson. For dogs with big feelings, React Less, Relax More runs 8 weeks and 16 sessions, and Polished Pup 10 weeks and 20.

These are slower than a stay by design, because they space the learning out and put you inside it. One sensible sequence is a stay to build the basics, a few weeks of practice at home, then a hybrid or session-based program if something specific remains. Gabriella Pope sets the order at the consult. If you are thinking about a second stay later on, ask about it then, because refresher terms are not published.
