Hi! My name is Grace, and look forward to helping with your pets! As a kid I grew up with two big dogs, an Airedale Terrier and a Bernedoodle. Both are very high energy so I learned how to train big, crazy, and energetic dogs. I am very comfortable with new dogs and look forward to meeting you and your pets!

FAQs for finding dog training near you in Great Falls, VA

On average, dog training near you in Great Falls, VA 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 Great Falls, VA 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 Great Falls, VA 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.
