Does Your Dog Need a Trainer? 

We call them a man’s best friend, but our canine companions aren’t always little angels. Whether they’re only weeks old or a long-time member of the family, your puppies behaviour might not always be up to scratch. A puppy & dog trainer will be able to create positive habits and improve their obedience. Find Dog Training Classes near me.

A trainer doesn’t just teach your dog a cool new trick - they’re highly specialised in confronting a number of behavioural problems, however minor or major. From teaching puppies basic habits to tackling aggressive behaviour, a dog trainer knows how to deal with those stubborn problems that have you going around in circles.

  • Training type 

Class type - private or group dog training  

Most puppy& dog trainers provide private and group sessions - it’s up to you to choose which type is best for your dog. For particularly shy or disobedient pups, private training ( 1-1 dog training ) might be a better option initially. You can always move to dog training classes once your dog has gained more confidence. 

Group classes are normally more cost-effective, as the instructor can train multiple dogs at once.

Average cost (per session) £45
Minimum cost (per session)£20

Age

Dog training isn’t just for puppies - it’s important to tend your dog’s physical and mental fitness throughout their lifetime. Puppy training tends to be cheaper, as it’s easier to teach positive habits to younger dogs. 

Dog training type 

Like humans, dogs have individual needs and requirements, so training needs to be tailored to each dog. The most common types of dog training and their average costs are:

How to keep Dog Training costs to a minimum 

Dog training can be pricey, but don’t panic! Here are our top tips and tricks for keeping costs down:

  • Enquire about price packages- Most trainers offer discounts on packages of multiple training sessions, minimising the hourly rate. 

  • Consider travelling to the trainer - If it is feasible for you to travel to the trainer, the rate may be reduced as they won’t need to factor in travel costs. 

  • Go online - With so many physical activities moving online, why not give it a go? More trainers are now offering online dog training sessions, which tend to be cheaper than face to face sessions.
