Good questions
Before you begin.
What is the lowest-cost way to start?
A single private lesson or a short puppy package is usually the least expensive first step. It gives you a plan and a feel for the trainer.
Is board and train a good fit for a young puppy?
Many households prefer to start with lessons at home, because puppies bond and learn routines in the home they will live in. Ask any trainer how they handle a puppy's age.
Why do trainers quote different prices?
Experience, travel, session length and what is included all differ. Compare what you get, not just the number.
Are these prices exact?
No. They are general estimates. Ask for the full price and inclusions in writing.
