What Affects the Cost?

Pricing depends on the trainer's qualifications and years of experience, the specific behavioural issues requiring attention, and whether training is group-based or personalised. Location within Galashiels (urban or rural), travel time to your home, and the intensity of the programme all influence costs. Trainers using modern, reward-based methods may charge more than those using traditional techniques. Board and train stays and intensive one-to-one sessions command premium rates.

Money-Saving Tips

Book group classes instead of one-to-one sessions to reduce costs by up to 50%. Many trainers offer discounts for six or eight-week packages paid upfront. Start with a behaviour assessment to address root causes and avoid unnecessary extended training programmes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a basic obedience class cost in Galashiels?

A typical six-week group obedience class in Galashiels costs between £90 and £150 depending on the trainer and class size. One-to-one sessions are more expensive, ranging from £40–£70 per hour.

Are board and train programmes worth the cost?

Board and train programmes cost £1,200–£2,000 for four weeks but provide intensive, full-time training. They're valuable for serious behavioural issues or dogs needing rapid progress. However, follow-up work at home is essential for lasting results.

What's the difference between puppy classes and general obedience training?

Puppy classes (£75–£120 for 4–6 weeks) focus on socialisation and early learning in a safe environment. General obedience training costs £90–£150 for six weeks and teaches established commands. Puppy classes suit dogs under six months; obedience training is for any age.
