When Lessons at Home Beat a Stay

Not every problem needs a dog to leave home. Visits to your house commonly cost about $100 to $200 each as a general estimate and can tackle the exact doorway, couch or kitchen that causes trouble.

Good questions

Before you begin.

Do home lessons cost less than a stay?

Per visit, yes. Over many visits the totals can approach a stay, so compare the whole plan.

Will the trainer drive to my town?

This site cannot say who is available. Ask each trainer about travel areas and fees.

Can a visit address a lunging dog?

It can, with careful planning and distance from triggers. Ask how the trainer would approach it.

How many visits are common?

Often several, spread over weeks. Ask for a plan, not a promise.
