Extended area service fee — your questions
Straight answers on how the $85 extended area service fee works for Brooklyn and Queens — and why it still adds up to great value.
Why do Brooklyn and Queens appointments include an $85 extended area service fee?
PJH Dog Training is based on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The extended area service fee isn’t a travel charge — it’s a door-to-door service. Your certified trainer comes to your Brooklyn or Queens block on a reserved weekly slot, so you train where your dog actually lives instead of commuting to Manhattan. It’s added transparently at booking and applies per appointment.
What do I actually get for the extended area service fee?
A reserved door-to-door visit from a PhD-level, CPDT-KA certified, force-free trainer; training in your dog’s real home, building, and neighborhood where the behavior actually happens; and a protected weekly slot on our outer-borough route. You get the exact same program our Manhattan clients get — delivered to you.
Is the class price plus the fee still less than other NYC trainers?
In most cases, yes. Even with the extended area service fee added, the all-in cost for a PhD-level, CPDT-KA certified, force-free program typically remains competitive with — and often below — other in-home trainers in NYC, many of whom charge premium rates without the same credentials. See training prices for the full breakdown.
Can I come to Manhattan instead to skip the fee?
Yes. Sessions at our Manhattan locations, and in-home visits within Manhattan, don’t carry the extended area service fee. If you can come to Manhattan — or you live here — you book at standard rates. The extended area service fee only applies when we bring the program to you in Brooklyn or Queens.
Does the extended area service fee apply to virtual sessions?
No. Virtual training is available any day of the week with no extended area service fee, from anywhere. It’s a great way to start sooner, handle handler-skill work between visits, or work with us regardless of borough.
Why are Brooklyn and Queens visits limited to one day a week?
Brooklyn and Queens in-home visits run on a dedicated weekly route so we can serve them well without diluting Manhattan availability. Only a small number of outer-borough slots open each week, so booking early is the reliable way to secure your preferred date.
