Hire A Professional Dog Trainer or Do It Yourself?

The decision to train a dog is smart and very beneficial to you and your dog.  Most people are already aware of the importance of training a dog.

The problem is many are not sure if they should hire a professional dog trainer or train their dog on their own.

Hiring a professional dog trainer means you won’t have to learn how to train your dog.  The professional will do all the training for you.  Once trained you will just need to continue the training to reinforce what your dog has learned.

Professional dog training can be costly.  Individual private training can cost on average $240 – $600 for 6 weeks of training. Group classes anywhere from $40 – $125 for 4 – 8 weeks.
