Private Puppy Training

Puppy training can be a very difficult task. To properly train your puppy, it would be ideal to take a few weeks off of work to get a puppy accustomed to house living and teach them all of the various aspects that being in a home entails. In reality, training your puppy in this way is nearly impossible. The result is having a puppy that you care for, but are ultimately unable to train properly. A viable solution for this problem faced by puppy owners everywhere is private puppy trainers. Regardless of where you live in the country, there are private puppy training services available to you.

Private puppy trainers can offer a variety of services. Some services take pride in the "come to you" aspect of their service. In cases such as these, a dog training professional can come to your home at your convenience and create a precise training regimen that is perfect for your dog. They determine this regimen with tried and true methods for your puppy's breed and by analyzing your puppy's unique temperament through proven temperament tests. These private home services include house training your puppy. They can also focus on specific issues such as unwanted behaviors or teaching your puppy to be become comfortable with the leash. Private puppy trainers also offer services that help to train your puppy to stay obedient in social settings. These dog "socializing" classes are group lessons that usually take place in parks, where your puppy can both learn and have an enjoyable experience.

Private puppy trainers can vary in cost depending on the service and provider that you choose. For complete basic training packages, the cost of 4-6 private hour sessions between the training and your dog can cost around $300. This can be a little more or less depending on the company that you are dealing with. There are often price breaks when private lessons are done with a friend or with more than one of your puppies. Other training packages are offered that provide a guarantee for teaching your puppy a variety of tricks and commands. An example of a private dog training package would be teaching your dog to heel on a leash, sit, sit and stay, lie down and come. The same package could also include solving problems such as jumping up, pulling the leash and stopping your puppy from going on the furniture. Socialization and group classes can be less expensive and cost around $175 for a six week program with one hour long meeting per week. Some private trainers prefer to act on an hourly rate, which can be as much as $100 an hour to train your puppy.
