The training is $90 for 7 weeks of basic obedience (and unlimited phone support), the first intermediate class is also $90, and after that, it's $45 per 7 week session. Classes are about 90 minutes; intermediate classes are about 45 minutes of agility and the rest of the class is offlead sit/stay/heel/etc.
The trainer slips in a lot of freebie classes that any intermediate student can attend. He also sponsors a flyball team, a parade drill team, and the freestyle team. The drill team is free to join, I don't know about the flyball team, and the freestyle is $40 for 5 2-hr sessions (spread over 10 weeks)and is run by another trainer (who also offers unlimited phone support).
I've worked with the primary trainer before, with a different dog, and I think he does a great job. The difference between him and the freestyle trainer is really interesting to me -- I am learning a lot, and it's a ton of fun to work with Demi, because she picks up on everything so quickly.
I've had dogs my entire life, but Demi is a real stand-out. |
