Dog Training Costs (and Why it’s Worth the Investment)
When you first bring home a dog, you may have all the best intentions of training them yourself. But each dog has their own personality and natural instincts, so a single or one-size training method may not work. Teaching a dog to obey commands or stop bad habits takes time, patience, and experience. And when DIY dog obedience training doesn't go as planned, you may start to consider hiring a pro.
