Training options

Certified trainers teach group classes that typically run six weeks with weekly meetings, suited to puppies, first-time owners and dogs practicing focus around distractions. Manners 1 and Manners 2 cost $215 each. Private sessions take place on-site, at $125 for one dog, $155 for two and $175 for three, or in-home, at $150, $170 and $190, with a $25 consultation before the first lesson and the owner present. Daycare and train lets a dog play before it learns. Goals range from potty training to passing the Canine Good Citizen test, and training serves Dallas County and Collin County.
