What affects trainers prices
Qualifications
Trainers accredited by bodies such as the ABTC, IMDT or APDT usually charge more, and their methods are assessed.
Group or one-to-one
Group classes spread the trainer's time across several dogs, so they cost far less per hour than home visits.
Travel
Home visits often include a mileage element outside the trainer's usual radius.
