Dog Training Prices in NYC — Clear, Honest, and All-Inclusive
Compare private in home training, concierge programs, reactive dog programs, virtual coaching, and group classes without hidden fees, vague packages, or last-minute surprises.
What Dog Training Actually Costs
Not every dog needs the same level of support. If your dog needs customized real-world behavior work, private training is the place to start. If you want structured enrichment at a lower per-session price, group classes may make more sense.

Consultations
Every new client starts with a consultation. It's the fastest way to understand what's going on and what's actually worth buying.
Virtual Consultation
- Behavior intake and history review
- Program recommendation
- Lower upfront commitment
In-Home Consultation
- In-home behavioral assessment
- Stronger plan accuracy from day one
- Best for reactivity, household issues, apartment life
Virtual Training Sessions
For clients who want coaching without an in-home visit. Best when the work is owner-handler skill building, structured plan check-ins, or households that already have a behavior plan in motion.
Private In-Home Dog Training
We work in your apartment, hallway, elevator, and neighborhood. Best fit for obedience, leash issues, household manners, and behavior that doesn't improve in a generic setting.
