I have grown up with two dogs, one being a super huge bermastiff, and a small heeler. I am experienced in training dogs, and I trained my own as well. I don't mind multiple pets, or just a single pet. I am not scared by big pets or little pets! I'd describe my personality as caring, outgoing, and determined.

FAQs for finding dog training near you in Shelby, NC

On average, dog training near you in Shelby, NC costs $9.00 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 Shelby, 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.
