I had a boxer for 15 years named Jake. He was my best friend until he passed last year. I was very crucial to his training as a puppy and helped out a lot. Over the years I have helped dog sit for families. I love all kinds of friendly dogs!

FAQs for finding dog training near you in Southington, CT

On average, dog training near you in Southington, CT costs $17.00 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 Southington, CT 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. They have the knowledge needed to train your pup out of any behavioral issues, and to teach them new skills that will help them for years to come.

The rate at which you should visit a professional dog trainer near you in Southington, CT 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.
