Dog Health Questions: Would it be feasible to charge people to train their dogs to do tricks?

I am not very interested in obedience, but I love to do agility, flyball and especially trick training. Without the obedience classes, would a dog training center still be feasible? Would you go?

What Is The Best Approach To Dog Training?



Recommended Answer:
i would think so

Dog Training and Obedience


  • I wouldn't, no.
    But I would think for sure some people would.

  • My trainer's facility offers agility courses...he charges for them.
    I know some other facilities charge for "tricks courses" as well.

    My thing is, I have no problem paying for that kind of stuff (if I wanted to - but google is free when it comes to dog tricks) but that facility better be teaching obedience classes as well. So at least I know that these trainers are reputable.

    As far as flyball - I was under the impression that flyball people usually do things as a "club" (free of charge) until they go to competitions than each owner has to pay for their own registration.

  • some places specialize in agility etc, so yes, that's feasible- but most people don't make enough money at it unless they are very, very good- both as competitors (winning national level competitions) and also good instructors and business people. Consider offering tricks classes for a shelter, or another obedience school or training club.
