Dog mom to Duke, my 5-year-old Shih Tzu, who I potty trained and raised from puppyhood. I know how to keep pups happy, safe, and loved -- whether they're playful puppies or gentle seniors. Every dog I walk gets the same care I give Duke.

FAQs for finding dog training near you in Boston, MA

On average, dog training near you in Boston, MA costs $17.00 per hour. That being said, training your dog can range from group classes to individual sessions with a professional and the average cost will depend on various factors, such as where you live, the type of training you receive, home training or board and train, the intensity level and the method used.

Hiring a dog trainer near you in Boston, MA is an excellent opportunity to invest in the health and happiness of your furry best friend. A professional animal behavior specialist will be able to customize a training program tailored to you and your pup's lifestyle, from crate training to advanced commands.
