I really want to get a Weimaraner puppy next year, and I’m seeking for excellent puppy training. Approximately $600 for basic training and up to $1800 or $2800 for more advanced instruction is what I perceive as attractive in the area. I’m prepared to spend this much because I value quality, particularly when it comes to my dog. Is that excessive? Insufficient? About correct?
Depending on the cost of living in your location, a decent group lesson that involves attending 40- to 1-hour sessions once a week for 6-8 weeks with your puppy typically costs between $100 and $200. That’s the thing you ought to be searching for!
The more expensive ones include boarding with a personal trainer. The most costly one I’ve seen includes all of that and requires the dog to return for additional training after six months. Not much has been published about boot camp. It feels like I’m working with the dog while boarding with a trainer.
What kind of instruction are you seeking? Ordinary obedience class for puppies?
Compliance. simple instructions. Come, heel, sit, roll over, remain, and paw. Socialization. Take the training off the leash.
Are you considering puppy school, or are you thinking of sending your dog away for training? If it’s the latter, I’d strongly advise against it.
Look into regular puppy schools in your area—they’re usually affordable. Make sure to check reviews and, if possible, visit the school in advance to see how it operates, so you know if it’s a good fit for you and your pup.
Remember, you’re the one doing the training. No amount of money can buy you a perfectly obedient dog—it all depends on how committed and consistent you are with the training.
Good luck!
