Honest pricing for honest work. No hidden fees, no upsell traps, no franchise pricing games — just what each program costs and what you get for it.
San Antonio dog training pricing ranges from $50 group classes to $5,000+ board-and-trains. The spread reflects real differences in trainer experience, methodology, time invested, and outcomes. Here’s where our programs land.
$800 – $1,800
4–6 weeks of structured sessions. Sit, down, place, recall, leash manners. In-home or facility-based.
$700 – $1,400
Foundation work in the 8–16 week window. Crate, potty, socialization, early manners. Tailored to puppy age and breed.
$2,800 – $4,200
14-day immersive stay. Your dog comes home knowing the work — we transfer it to you with handoff sessions.
$1,500 – $3,500+
Reactivity, aggression, severe anxiety. Custom assessment, longer timelines. The cases other trainers send to us.
$200 group classes work great for some dogs. They don’t work for the dogs that end up in our facility — reactive, anxious, or dogs whose owners need a real protocol they can follow at home. If you’ve already done two rounds of cheap classes and you’re still where you started, that’s the signal you need a different approach.
Our reviews aren’t from people who didn’t have other options. They’re from owners who’d already tried the cheap path and came to us because it didn’t hold.

Because the work itself varies wildly. A puppy class at PetSmart isn’t comparable to a 14-day board-and-train with a balanced behavior specialist. You’re paying for outcomes and follow-through, not hours.
It usually doesn’t — but the trainers who do balanced work well typically have deeper case experience. You’re paying for results that hold outside the kitchen.
Yes — group classes from $200, online courses for less. They work for some dogs. They don’t work for reactive dogs, serious behavior issues, or owners who need a real plan.
Yes — for board-and-train and behavior-mod programs. Ask during your consult.
All training sessions, written plan, handoff sessions where we transfer the work to you, and follow-up check-ins. Boarding costs are included in board-and-train.
We guarantee the work — not the dog’s behavior in your absence. If the program protocol isn’t being followed at home, no trainer on earth can make it stick.
Free consultation. We’ll tell you what your dog actually needs — not the highest-tier package by default.
