I have cared for animals in my neighborhood since I was a kid. I absolutely love all animals, and often foster from the local humane society. I have references available. I can work in-home, including exercising, bathing, and light training (dogs). I have my own car and am willing to travel.

I have had dogs my whole life. I also have extensive experience volunteering with rescues. Our family has gone through training programs with our own dogs, so we are familiar with dog behavior & personality traits. I have also had cats before but unfortunately my husband is allergic so I cannot have one now.

FAQs for finding dog training near you in Athens, AL

On average, dog training near you in Athens, AL costs $14.00 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 Athens, AL 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.

The rate at which you should visit a professional dog trainer near you in Athens, AL 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.
