Not every dog needs the same level of support. This section helps you self-sort quickly. If you already know your dog needs highly customized real-world behavior work, private training is usually the right place to start. If you want structured enrichment at a lower per-session price, group classes may make more sense.
Where most people land
Comparison shoppers usually want two answers: “What’s the real price?” and “Which option is actually for my dog?” Here’s the clean version.
| Option | Best For | Typical Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | assessment, planning, next-step clarity | $55–$110 |
| Private In-Home | obedience, leash issues, apartment behavior, household manners | $165–$1,225 |
| Reactive Training | barking, lunging, fear, threshold issues | $185–$1,695 |
| Group Classes | enrichment, focus, confidence, sports foundations | $395–$450+ |
Consultations
Every new client starts with a consultation. It is the fastest way to understand what is actually going on, what is worth buying, and what is not. That saves you time, money, and random guesswork.
Virtual Consultation
Best when you want initial guidance, behavior triage, or a starting plan before committing to in-home work.
- Behavior intake and history review
- Program recommendation
- Lower upfront commitment
In-Person Consultation
Best for dogs whose behavior makes more sense once seen in the home, building, hallway, or neighborhood.
- In-home behavioral assessment
- Stronger plan accuracy from the start
- Useful for reactivity, household issues, and apartment-specific challenges
Private In-Home Dog Training Prices
Private training is where most real-life improvement happens because we work in the apartment, hallway, elevator, sidewalk, and neighborhood routes your dog actually knows. This is the best fit for many obedience goals, leash issues, household manners, and behavior problems that do not improve in a generic setting.

Reactive Dog Training & Reactive Resilience Therapy™ Pricing
Reactive dogs usually need more than a few tips and a handful of obedience drills. These cases tend to require better assessment, a structured plan, repetition, and real-world threshold work. That is why the pricing and package logic are different here.

Group Classes & Enrichment Pricing
Group classes are usually the more affordable route when you want enrichment, confidence building, sports foundations, or structured skill practice. They are great options for many dogs, but they are not a substitute for customized private behavior work when the main problem is reactivity or serious real-life breakdowns.
