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 just bought a Germen Shepherd pup after all he’s shots I’m looking to place him in puppy school. Is this place meant for pups?
Yes, great place for pups. And it's good to start them young. You'll be pleased with results the first day.

I came to Bob Smith K9 Associates because I was struggling with behavior and aggression issues with my pit bull. From the moment I explained my situation, he was incredibly understanding, compassionate, and willing to help, even knowing I am low income. He truly cares about both the dogs and their owners. He has been patient, kind, and supportive while helping me work on improving my dog’s behavior. I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a caring and knowledgeable dog trainer.
