Chris V. says, "Andie did an excellent job helping us with our “very” stubborn ridgeback puppy. Andie is always prepared, always very calm and always in control. She works on training both puppy and humans, which we also needed. Our puppy has made great progress in the very short time Andie has been with us. My wife and I highly recommend Andie services. Well worth our time and effort and all of Andie’s training and time with us in our own home has definitely paid off! Give Andie a call. I assure you she can help with your dog training." Read more

I’ve been pet & house sitting for 6 years now. I love taking care of other families animal’s while they are away so they don’t have to be in a kennel all the time. I will stay at your house while you are away. I’ll look after your pets, water the flowers, get them mail and if your baby needs medicine I can give that also.

I love meeting all the different personalities, shapes & sizes of dogs & cats! It's bizarre too me that each & every individual is different in their own way. I have been pet sitting for close to 10 years now & it has become my profession! I'm hoping to go to school to be a veterinarian one day! :)

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.

Reviews for Mesquite dog trainers

Recent success stories from people in the Mesquite area.
Lee S.
Andie is an absolutely incredible trainer! I interviewed several people over the phone but she stood out above them all from the very beginning. She came incredibly prepared with a book of training guidelines for us to study. In addition, she brought treats, dog toys and gave us tips on the types of food that were best suited for our breed. She immediately identified certain attributes and of the breed that we were totally unaware of! Her knowledge helped us tremendously. She even introduced us to games for our dog to help with his high energy! She shared her training philosophy with us then went to work with our dog Dexter. Within about 20 minutes I was literally crying with tears of joy at his responsiveness to her techniques. It was a real turning point for us in our relationship with our dog! I can’t say enough good things about Andie! We will be continuing with her until we get all of his behaviors in a good place so that we can enjoy him to the fullest!
