How To Download A Book On Dog Training
Recommended Answer:
I do not know if it's standard price or varies depending on location, but I a paid $109 for an 8 week course (Puppy Education). My dog just graduated from Puppy Education and she did really well (which i'm surprised because she never sat still and paid attention to me in class).
I also signed her up for intermediate and I paid another $109 for another 8 week course with the same trainer.
The best way to go about this is to visit the store when there is a class in session, usually they have them posted up somewhere near the training area, to see if you like the trainer (which is key) and their methods of training. You also might want to talk to a trainer.
Personally I love my trainer. Their method is pretty good (clicker method); however, my dog did not respond to the clicker (she was scared of te noise), so they helped me find another method (mostly with treats). My trainer always emphasized that it's important "that as long as my dog is doing this at home." She just graduated Puppy Education (as I mentioned above), she knows how to "sit, stay, take it, leave it, (still working on come), off, down," perhaps a few more too.
I know Petco does training courses also, but I do not know the prices. I think they are very similiar to Petsmart Price.
When I looked into training courses at other places I found that the prices range in the $100's and the amout of time varied, mostly between 6-8 week courses. I found that for my area that Petsmart offered the best time (Saturday coruses) and for my money it wasn't bad either. Good Luck.

Private Classes
Not ready to commit to a six or eight week class? Or perhaps your dog's behavioral needs are targeted to one specific area? Maybe you and your dog prefer a more intimate one-on-one training session? Ask about our private classes – perfect for your busy schedule and training goals because they're personalized to your needs. - Our local club charges $50 but that's a bargain. Most places charge $100-$150 for classes. Thank you for including it in your list of perspective costs. That's a responsible pet owner!! I can make a huge difference in how your pet behaves and how you relate, also. Good luck!
P.S. Call your local animal shelter and see if they know of classes locally or if they sponsor a class. It may be less expensive than going through a pet store. - It really depends on the number of classes or the store that you go in. The best thing to do is to call ahead and ask about the different types of classes and how long they go on and then the price for the classes. But Petsmart is the best place to go. That is where we are going to send our dogs to be trained.

- My aunt has 9 dogs and she swears by PetSmart classes, they're really sweet and very well informed. I'm not positive about the prices, they may vary.
