Why visit prices differ
- Drive time, since a trainer coming from across the metro may add a travel fee.
- How long the visit lasts and how many people in the house take part.
- Whether a written practice sheet is left behind after each visit.
- How many visits are bought together, because bundles often lower the price per visit.
- A written plan for the week so the whole family can follow it.

Good questions
Before you begin.
What happens during the first home visit?
Most trainers begin by watching how your dog behaves at the door, in the living area and on a short walk. Then they teach you one or two skills and leave a simple practice plan. Every home and dog is different, so use this as a starting point and ask the trainer about your own situation.
Does everyone in the house need to be home?
It helps a great deal. Dogs learn faster when every adult and older child uses the same cue words and the same house rules.
How should I prepare my home?
Put away chew items you do not want in play, have treats ready and keep the dog on a leash or behind a gate when the trainer arrives. Write down your top three annoyances.
Is a home visit worth it for a small apartment?
Yes. Hallways, stairwells and building entrances are real-life practice spots, and a trainer can use them.
Where do I find more detail on pricing?
The programs page lists every range side by side, and each range is a general estimate. Always ask for the full cost in writing.
