Analyze your training budget. It may be possible to get some dog training services for free of charge from volunteers depending upon where you live. There are also the more pricey services, which can run as high as $100 or more per hour-long training session. The charges will vary depending upon the trainer's skill, your location and the type and duration of the program. Group programs are inclined to be less costly than personal programs.

Training your dog will take time, patience and energy. But there is no way to escape doing it and still have a obedient and well-adjusted dog. If you cannot do it yourself you should probably go ahead and engage a professional, but do be aware that that option will end up costing you quite a bit more cash.
