Most of my clients for obedience or behavioral modification average 4-6 lessons. Service dogs, given their high level of training, require more, generally around 20 from start to finish. All that said, every dog is an individual; if your dog already knows how to sit and stay, but is struggling with leash manners, I won&#8217;t waste your time or money on classes for sit and stay. Likewise, some service dog clients come to me with a dog who is already mostly prepped for the job, but needs a little help with a specific task. I will only ask for the lessons you and your dog truly need; this is why the evaluation is always the first step, to learn what you really need from me, and leave out the rest. While &#8216;packages&#8217; are becoming increasingly common (and increasingly expensive) among many other trainers, I will always hold firm to the truth that every dog and every human are individuals, and deserve individual care and attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-default\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\"><strong>March Special: To celebrate my 37th birthday, all new<\/strong><br><strong>student<\/strong> <strong>evaluations are $37 through March 31st!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-default\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\"><strong>In-Person Lessons<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">New Student Evaluation, single dog: $100<br>New Student Evaluation, two dogs: $150<br>New Student Evaluation, three dogs: $200<br>Private lesson, single dog: $85<br>Private lesson, two dogs: $125<br>Private lesson, three dogs: $165<br>No-Show fee: $50 per canceled\/rescheduled appointment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-default\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\"><strong>Video Lessons<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">New Student Evaluation, single dog: $75<br>New Student Evaluation, two dogs: $110<br>New Student Evaluation, three dogs: $145<br>Private lesson, single dog: $55<br>Private lesson, two dogs: $85<br>Private lesson, three dogs: $110<br>No-Show fee: $50 per canceled\/rescheduled appointment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\">Boarding &amp; Board and Train<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">Boarding is only available to students who have completed their evaluation and at least one lesson.

Combinations of boarding and board and train in a single stay can be done, but must be discussed prior to your dog&#8217;s stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-default\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\"><strong>Boarding<\/strong>*<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">Daily: $35<br>Weekly: $240<br>Four Weeks: $950<br>Additional dogs: 50% of single dog fee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-default\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\"><strong>Board &amp; Train<\/strong>*<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">Daily: $65<br>Weekly: $450<br>Four Weeks: $1,800<br>Additional dogs: 50% of single dog fee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\">Other Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-default\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\"><strong>Private Groups (4-6 dogs)<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">New Student Evaluation: $50 per dog<br>Private lesson (1hr): $40 per dog<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-default\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\"><strong>Litter <\/strong>Temperament Testing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">Per puppy: $25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">*Additional fees apply for pickup\/drop off, food and supplies that must be purchased, etc. Please visit the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/k9kaliber.com\/index.php\/boarding-board-and-train-prep-and-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\">Boarding Prep Page<\/a> for a complete list of requirements and fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">A quick note: I sometimes get asked why my rates are so low, especially while it feels like everything is becoming so expensive and everyone is raising their prices to make ends meet. People with less than a year of experience, or no experience at all, frequently charge 50% more than I do. It&#8217;s simple: I believe that training should be affordable for anyone. Increasingly, people shy away from training because they believe it&#8217;s a luxury item. It&#8217;s only expensive because, frankly, trainers made it expensive out of pure greed, and the lack of oversight on the industry means that a lot of people get into it to make a quick buck without any concern for the dog or their owner. Training isn&#8217;t for those who can afford it, it&#8217;s a necessary part of responsible pet ownership, and my commitment to making sure that anyone can have it is unwavering. While I know my own value, I know the cost of making training unattainable. Dogs deserve better. People deserve better. Greed has no home with me, never will. If I can no longer afford to maintain my humble lifestyle, I will need to raise my rates&#8230; But until that day comes, my morals forbid me from doing so. They have stayed the same since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#cbb2c0;color:#cbb2c0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#995f87\">Payment Methods<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\">Cash or Zelle preferred.<br>PayPal or check available if no other payment method is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#503347\"><em>Updated 02.20.2026<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Referral Program Help save independent dog training, and earn yourself a $40 credit towards any future service as a thank you for every new client you refer!
