Costs

Dog Learning Zone is a small, friendly training centre run by professional Instructors and Behaviour Practitioners who have trained long and hard to gain the necessary qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience to help you with your dog. This is reflected in the costs.

We do offer excellent value for money given the investment you have already made in buying your dog, its food, vets' bills, boarding kennel costs during holidays etc.

Joining Fee for Dog Learning Zone
There is a one-off joining fee of £10 to join the centre. This covers all family members and all dogs in the household. Benefits of joining are listed below. Even when your training has finished you can continue to come along to our organised events (see events page).

Behaviour Improvement

To reflect the intensity of the work involved, and that extra resources are often needed, the behaviour improvement sessions are £45 for the first session. This includes diagnostic work to identify the root cause of the issues, a report and our recommendations to modify the behaviour.

Subsequent sessions are charged at £45 if two behaviour practitioners are needed (if we have to use a stooge dog for example), or £35 for one behaviour practitioner. Mileage is applied for home visits.

If a prolonged programme is necessary (several months) the sessions will reduce to £40 for two practitioners and £30 for one. We do this so the owner can commit to the programme and we can achieve the desired result.

Tellington Touch

The initial Tellington Touch session lasts one and a half to two hours and is charged at £50. This includes handouts detailing the touches applied and a full intervention plan for continuing the work.

Subsequent sessions last one to one and a half hours and are £45 if two behaviour practitioners are needed or £35 for one.

If a prolonged Tellington Touch programme is required (more than six sessions) the cost reduces to £40 for two behaviour practitioners or £30 for one. We do this so the owner can commit to the programme and we can achieve the desired result.
