Sounds reasonable for training?
A private trainer is going to come to our home once a week for 5 weeks. Her sessions are around an hour. She wants $450. She came highly recommended to us.
DH thinks he can train the dog himself for free...so asked him when he plans to start doing that  Our dog is already 8 months old.

I would go to a puppy kindergarten somewhere else. In home training is crazy expensive plus they don't get the socialization they would get at a group class. Around $130 for 6 classes.

umm I'm not sure how much ours was. We used Matthew from Beyond Pet Sitting... I think it was like high 200s , low 300s... Tell DH he'll still have to train the dog, once a week is not a cure!

Re: Sounds reasonable for training?
that sounds "market rate" for private sessions. is your dog a rescue? some trainers give discounts for rescues.
as for going to a group class, i agree if you're looking to learn basic obedience. 8 months is probably too old for a puppy class. they usually are only up to 5 or 6 mos. old.

When I did my puppy class there were dogs up to a year old in there.

my mom took her dog to a class at dr. gurtman's vet office in hauppauge. it was excellent and cheap - i think just 100 bucks per dog for a five or six week class - once a week, for one hour.
the trainer was excellent.
teddy really responded so well.

there's the page - if you click on the link to see pics of the graduates you will see my mom's dog TEDDY in the second round of pictures - little black dog, white markings.
they photo shop in graduate caps on them!!!
really, this facility is the best. i'm so happy - i take my dog there for EVERYTHING!!!!
