Works well with large or stubborn pets, flexible availability, and welcoming to all! With my own dog, food motivation is a huge factor in her training. Let me know what your training style is, and I'll be sure to focus on that during my time with your pet! I'm also available for house sitting or any other chore you can't get to.

FAQs for finding dog training near you in Villanova, PA

On average, dog training near you in Villanova, PA costs $10.00 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 Villanova, PA is an excellent opportunity to invest in the health and happiness of your furry best friend.
