Good to know

What is the difference between group classes and private lessons?

Group classes help dogs learn to focus around real-world distractions alongside other pets, making them ideal for basic commands and socialization. Private lessons offer one-on-one attention tailored to specific behavioral issues, reactivity, or unique household routines. Private sessions often take place at your home, while group classes are typically held at a facility or public park.

How much do dog training sessions usually cost?

Group obedience classes typically run between $150 and $350 for a multi-week series. Private single sessions or in-home consultations often range from $75 to $200 per hour. Immersive board-and-train programs are more costly, frequently ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the duration and scope.

What should I ask a trainer before hiring them?

Ask about their core training philosophy, credentials, and what tools or equipment they require you to use. It is also helpful to clarify their policy on family participation so everyone in your household uses consistent commands.
