I adore cats and dogs; I have a spoiled dog of my own. Most of my experience comes from a combined service of Postpartum Care and helping with their pets. I am more than happy to feed, walk, and even train basic commands to pets (no formal pet training, but a well-trained dog at home).

I'd describe my personality as dependable, hardworking, and caring. I like working with animals because there's no more pure love in the world. I'm looking for a job that is rewarding. In my spare time, I like to walk my dog, read, and train CrossFit. One thing you should know about me is I love Star Wars.

FAQs for finding dog training near you in Apex, NC

On average, dog training near you in Apex, NC costs $10.00 per hour. That being said, training your dog can range from group classes to individual sessions with a professional and the average cost will depend on various factors, such as where you live, the type of training you receive, home training or board and train, the intensity level and the method used.

Hiring a dog trainer near you in Apex, NC is an excellent opportunity to invest in the health and happiness of your furry best friend. A professional animal behavior specialist will be able to customize a training program tailored to you and your pup's lifestyle, from crate training to advanced commands. They have the knowledge needed to train your pup out of any behavioral issues, and to teach them new skills that will help them for years to come.

The rate at which you should visit a professional dog trainer near you in Apex, NC depends on the individual needs of your pet and how quickly they progress through their training program. Generally speaking, it is recommended that you visit your trainer at least once every few months or so in order to continue reinforcing their progress. However if you feel your pet is struggling then more frequent visits may be necessary until their skills improve. Some trainers may offer board and train services, which would also impact the amount of time you'd invest in training.
