What people have asked about this business.
How much does the obedience classes cost on average ?
It does depend on your dogs age and what they already know. Where they’re at vs where you’d like them to be, every dog is different. Our basic obedience can range $900-$1500.

I spent weeks looking for a quality prong collar locally when I was told to call Bob. He took time on his day off to come in and help me out. Not only did he sell me the best prong collar money can buy at a great price, but he took the time to make sure I knew how to properly use it without hurting or scaring my dog! When it comes to experience, skill, and knowledge Bob smith is the man to call. Thank you again for taking time on your day off to make sure I had a happy puppy!

Hands down THE BEST trainer! He can read your dog and teach you the most effective way to train or modify your pet, specific to its temperament. The results are beyond impressive! He has taken my Corso from skittish and timid to being courageous. She has earned her Canine Good Citizen certification and is working on her protection skills! I can take her anywhere on or off a leash, and she behaves and responds wonderfully.

Bob knows what he's doing. Not cheap, but they are effective lessons from a pro. If you're investing in your yourself and your dog, at least go in for an evaluation.
