Why We Don't Charge by the Hour
Hourly dog training bills you for time. Package training charges you for an outcome — a defined set of commands your dog actually learns, with a turnover session so the results transfer to you. That's why every package above lists what your dog will know at the end, not how many minutes you bought — and why we can publish every price with nothing hidden behind a "call for a quote."
What Drives the Price Differences?
- Immersion. Board & train ($1,600–$2,800) costs more because your dog lives with a Pro Trainer and trains every day.
- Where the lessons happen. In-home training ($1,000–$1,500) includes travel and on-site work in your household.
- Specialization. Aggression work ($1,000) pairs obedience with structured desensitization; therapy development ($950) adds evaluation and certification prep.
- Entry points. The $375 starter lesson and $100 puppy consultation keep the first step affordable.
