The results. In most cases the issue that I was called for is just the tip of the real problem. I educate my clients on dog behavior, communication, and positive reinforcement so that they can train their dog to be a member of their household. Most dogs will respond quickly to my preferred methods and my clients see the results within one to two sessions. In addition, I provide affordable kennel free boarding in my home for one family at a time. These dogs become a member of my household....

Your Dog Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much are dog training prices near me?

Professional dog training costs $30 to $50 per group class and $45 to $120 per private session. Dog obedience training schools cost $200 to $600 per week, and boot camp kennel training costs $500 to $1,250 per week. Get exact prices by contacting affordable dog trainers near you.

What do professional dog trainers do?

Local dog trainers teach dogs basic obedience, behavioral modification, agility, personal protection or guarding, emotional support, therapy or service dog training, show dog handling, puppy training, trick training, hunting training, police dog or K9 training, and other types.

Certified dog trainers offer group classes, private lessons, or come to your home for one-on-one training. The best in-home dog trainers also teach the owner how to train commands, use body language, and offer proper reinforcement guidance. Many dog trainers use positive reinforcement, which uses a reward (treats, praise, toys) for desired behaviors.

What is the best age to train a dog?

Puppies 7 to 8 weeks of age begin to learn basic obedience commands such as “sit,” “stay,” “stand,” and “down.” Professional dog training traditionally starts at 6 months old. By delaying training, behavioral patterns learned during puppyhood likely take longer to change.

Can you train an old dog?

Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks! Dogs can learn and be trained at any age. Older dogs have more self-control and are easier to train than young puppies. Continuing to train your dog as it matures is also important to help keep their mind sharp.

Is paying for private dog training worth it?

Private dog training helps correct your dog’s behavior, aggression, anxiety, socialization skills, and teaches them a commands list in a timely and cost-effective manner. Common commands dogs learn quickly are to stay, heel, and roll over.

Professional dog training is valuable because it teaches your dog not to jump or bite, to stop barking, to stay in the yard off-leash, potty training, to use a dog door, not to pull on a leash, hand signals, and much more.

Which dog breeds are easy to train?

The easiest dog breeds to train are an Australian Shepherd, Corgi, Bearded or Border Collie, Poodle, Miniature Schnauzer, Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and a Doberman Pinscher. Female canines of all breeds are also easier to train and housebreak.

Which dog breeds are hard to train?

The hardest dogs breeds to train are a Husky, Mastiff, Pug, Beagle, Bulldog, Weimaraner, Afghan Hound, Basenji, Basset Hound, Bloodhound, Chow Chow, Dalmatian, Fox and Kerry Blue Terrier, Irish Setter, Pekingese, Pit Bull Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, and a Rottweiler.

Debby has always been extremely helpful, professional & amazing. She helps me & my rescue with home checks, meet & greets & of course training. Debby is knowledgeable, works with all types of dogs & situations, she's a Godsend! I'm certain she is the reason why so many of my adoptions were successful. I recommend adopters work with her for training. I'm constantly referring her to others.🐾❤️. Thank you Debby for always helping!!

My puppy Zepo was becoming a little unruly. I searched for help and found lots for people who claimed to be dog trainer. I invested in a couple with no real change.I was almost ready to give u when Alyssa was recommended to me. Alyssa to Canyon State did everything she promised and more. My young dog is the wonderful companion that I wanted thanks to Alyssa. The important thins is that she got Zeppo started and gave us a foundation that we build on. I don't write many endorsements but is important to me to recognize when I get great service. Alyssa at Canyon state is a quality professional dog trainer.

Tom assisted in getting my golden retriever to respond more enthusiastically to basic commands. He had been home schooled for two years and needed a more precise reaction to commands. Tom put Jet on a training schedule that allowed the dog to quickly respond to commands and increased his fitness significantly. Thank you for all the great work, Justin Campbell

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value I can’t begin to express my gratitude for Thomas and his training expertise! I saved a 1.5 year old golden/Australian shepherd from the euthanasia list due to the extreme abuse he had suffered over his short little life, he became to a point he didn’t trust humans. For a year I had him in trainings, boot camps, and just everything I could think of to help him be a successful do in society. I met Thomas at our 3rd attempt of training, our second boot camp experience. Our first boot camp experience was awful, the dog I dropped off came back almost worst. Thomas was able to connect with Dexter in a way that no other trainers had. They developed a bond that he was able to listen and get Dexter to understand the behavior modification that was needed. The way Thomas could read Dexters social cues were on point. I had caught on to them because I was his foster mom, and he lived with me, but Thomas picked up on them in a day or two. In 10 weeks it went from Dexter needing 3 day introductions to new people, to 20 minutes. From learning his commands of place, quiet, off and needing minimal reinforcement. It was amazing to see a dog so close to being euthanized.. a dog who was fear aggressive now responding so well and able to even have strangers bath him and rub his belly (sensitive and normally reactive spots before). Thomas truly understands dogs and behaviors. He has a passion for this and uses that to make a difference in these dogs lives. Icing on the cake was when Dexter was due to be adopted Thomas went to go drop him off and do a training to the new family, there was an incident outside of Dexters control and instead of continuing with the day which would not have been the best thing for Dexter or his new owners, Thomas volunteered to let Dexter go decompress at his own house, and start fresh the next day. If this is not a 10 star service I don’t know what is! I am very thankful for Thomas as I don’t know that Dexter would be where he is at now without him! Every family who is training their dog needs a Thomas! So thank you Thomas! You have saved Dexter and imprinted on us forever! This is truly your calling!

My husband and I are very pleased and very satisfied with the obedience dog training course provided by Canine Authority. Our dog trainer Mr. Andy Luper is definitely the “top trainer and dog behaviorist in the field”! When he first met our dog T-Bone (a 2 year old Australian Shepard), T-Bone was very aggressive towards him, almost like a fear aggression. My dog would not let the trainer near him and he was trying to bite him. By our last lesson it’s like a miracle happened. Now our dog T-Bone actually looked forward with working with our trainer. T-Bone has changed totally. He doesn’t bark and give that aggressive look anymore at people he doesn’t know. He’s more calmer outside and I continually work him daily in his obedience commands to keep him in line. He’s a pet now that I can enjoy. Mr. Andy Luper indeed is most professional and a loyal pet lover.
