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.

Wow!! My German shepherd started to display some very scary behavior issues, I called Mr Smith and he told me to come right on in. Within 2 hours he had my aggressive dog under control. We are by no means close to where we want to be, but I am 100% confident with Mr Smiths guidance we are going to be the best dog parents we can be. His staff was wonderful at helping me begin to rebuild my relationship with my shepherd. I cant wait to see what the future holds for us!

Definitely a place I recommend as often as possible!! Not only does Bob take care of every concern of yours, he makes you feel like family right when you walk in the door. Everyone that works there is so kind and warm it makes it fun every time we go. Not only is it amazing to see the growth of our own dogs but to witness dogs that have zero training pick up great behavior class after class.. is an amazing thing! Bob’s work and compassion truly shows while you’re present and there. Everyone I’ve referred there, that has actually went, was more than satisfied with what they’ve received back! 10/10 I recommend wether it’s behavior issues you’d like to work on, aggression training for protection, or simple commands!

Bob Smith helped me train my Rottweiler 25 years ago. She was fully police dog trained. Was great working with Bob. He trained dogs in the military for the MP's. I just visited Bob's school tonight. He hasn't lost his touch. He is the master.
