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 WOULD NOT recommend taking your little pup here for training. One of the most terrifying experiences I have ever seen. Bottom line, choking your baby until he cannot breath, eyes bulging, tucked tail, my baby looked uncomfortable and terrified, choking until your dog listens. Definitely no positive reinforcement here. We just did the evaluation and it was so uncomfortable for myself and my family to watch our dog go through what he went through.
