My service stands out because unlike some trainers, I believe in positive reinforcement. Science proves this is the most effective training method and I 100% agree! Lots of love and rewards builds a stronger bond and creates trust between you and your fur baby! A bond between man and dog is unlike any other and it fills my heart with joy guiding them both into a healthy, happy, loving relationship. I love watching the light bulb go off in a dog's eyes when they understand what you're asking of them. The science behind a dog's mind and their way of learning is so interesting to me and I do my best to implement that into my training!...

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.

Sapphire J.
Ms Barb treats my baby Pitt like it is hers. She loves her dogs very much which are a great pack. They are very well trained. I loved that she sends me plenty of photos throughout the day with short details. I keep using Ms Barb who is very flexible with my schedule. Her prices are very manageble. I loved the report card I get about my dog's training status.

Our 2 maltipoos were picky eaters and also were obsessed with barking by the door whenever they heard any noise. We went through months changing their food and tries another trainer. The very next day after Alex helped us, they ate all their food perfectly and have so far. He showed us how to be a pack and with his methods, we were able to curb then eliminate the problem with the door. There's a lot that you get with just one session, not only the training. We are very grateful to you!
