I owned a Rottweiler female. I trained her by myself on how to walk on the line, to sit, lay, bring stuff, even in case of fire she knows how to open doors. I owned two cats also who learned if I say no that they can't go there where they wanted to.

FAQs for finding dog training near you in Merrick, NY

On average, dog training near you in Merrick, NY costs $20.00 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 Merrick, NY is an excellent opportunity to invest in the health and happiness of your furry best friend.

The rate at which you should visit a professional dog trainer near you in Merrick, NY depends on the individual needs of your pet and how quickly they progress through their training program.
