On average, dog training near you in Detroit, MI costs $13.80 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 Detroit, MI 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 Detroit, MI depends on the individual needs of your pet and how quickly they progress through their training program.
