the best business to do is call “Bark Busters” and question them what they charge…. I’m sweet sure they’ll tell you.
I’m sure if you ring them they will tell you all you want to know!
Remember, having someone else train your dog is all excellent and well, but it is up to YOU to reinforce all the things that you BOTH get taught.
When I got my dog 31/2 being ago, and I hired a trainer previous to bringing the puppy home. I found a digit of people listed in the phone book. I did a phone interview and Bark Busters was one of them. Most charged $50.00 per hour visit. Bark Buster was different. They had a plot, that cost about $500.00 but I may be incorrect on the price. This covers everything.
I did not go with Bark Buster for two reasons: Initially I had a excellent puppy that my goal was to help her grow up. Second: With interviewing different people, I found other trainers who were more knowledgeable.
I really had a fantastic experience with Barkbusters. They charge a flat fee of $495 to teach YOU how to train your dog. They evaluate, come up with a plot of proceedings, teach you how to go about it, then give you homework. The whole thought here is that the Barkbusters guy isn’t vacant to be around forever. We all need to know how to train our own dogs.
They also give a lifetime guarantee once the training is over. If the same problems crop up again, or if new ones go up, they will come back at no charge to teach you some more.
My particular trainer was very knowledgeable about the breed I was having difficulty with. We questioned him many questions and found out these guys go through 224 hours of training themselves previous to they are allowed to train. I was very pleased with the results and would recommend them to any dog with issues.
The training lasted more than three months, and it took as many visits as we needed.
Just to give you an thought of my training needs, my girl was child aggressive and had dread-bit two people. She is now a very obedient and well-trained dog, and we continue to train her because we know how to handle her.
They also gave us a discount because our dog was a shelter rescue.
Edit: The whole thought behind the Barkbusters opinion is the dog belongs to you, not the trainer. You can send your dog out to be trained, but that is the bone idle way out, and if you don’t know how to continue the training, it will surely fail and you will be right back where you started. Training is not a one-time business. It is a upset that happens each day of your dog’s life. You need to be able to commit to doing that for your dog. Dog ownership is a priveledge and it involves work.
Anyone who counsels you otherwise is incorrect and probably does not have a well-trained dog.
I wouldn’t recommend Bark Busters unless you plot on doing a lot of the work. They will not come to your dog and train them for you. They will come to your house, tell you a proper plot of proceedings… show you what to do and then go on their merry way. You have to spend most of the time training them yourself. This isn’t automatically a terrible business–but does require that you be the one to implement the procedures.
We paid $695 for a lifetime guarantee. Then $195 for an additional dog. I would not recommend them personally–I would have very taken them to puppy training classes and spent the cash that way.
