The challenges facing dog trainers
The behaviour assessment comes before everything else
No programme sells without it. It shares neither the duration nor the place of an ordinary session, and if it is not bookable on its own, online, it goes back to being a twenty-minute phone call at the end of the day.
One to one at home, group at the field
Two places, two formats, two prices in the same week. A diary that only knows one kind of appointment forces you to keep the other in a notebook, and that is the one you double-book.
Travel is not in the price
Twenty miles for an hour's work is not the same as a client who comes to the field. Charged afterwards, travel gets discussed; stated at booking, it does not.
Breed, age, reason: it all gets asked beforehand
An eight-month-old collie pulling on the lead and a seven-year-old crossbreed growling at visitors are not prepared for the same way. That information arrives by phone, out of order, and gets lost.
Six dogs on the field, not nine
The group class has a cap, and it is about safety as much as teaching. Counting sign-ups on a Friday evening means getting Saturday morning wrong.
The ten-session package gets used with no record
The client paid for ten and has done four — or five. Without history attached to their record, the count is held in memory, and memory always rounds the same way.

Practical guide: Dog trainers
- The behaviour assessment as the first service on the page, with its ninety minutes. It is the way into everything else.
- Separate slots for each format: one-to-ones at home in the week, group classes on Saturday morning. Each service only shows when it makes sense.
- Travel charges set by area: the client sees the amount before confirming, and you no longer have the conversation on arrival.
- A required "breed, age, reason for the enquiry" field. You prepare the session instead of discovering it.
- The group class with its cap: sign-ups stop by themselves at six dogs, without anyone counting.
- The package attached to the client record: the history says how many have been used, and nobody argues the count.
Frequently asked questions
How much does dog training cost in the UK?
Around £45 to £90 an hour for one-to-one training, £10 to £20 per session for a group class, and £120 to £300 for a full behaviour assessment with a written plan. Set your own prices.
Do you need a qualification to be a dog trainer in the UK?
No. Dog training and behaviour work are not regulated: no licence, no protected title, and anyone may practise. The Animal Behaviour and Training Council holds the register that vets, insurers and local authorities increasingly look for, with assessed standards for trainers and clinical behaviourists. Three legal points do apply. The Animal Welfare Act 2006 imposes a duty of care and makes causing unnecessary suffering an offence, which reaches training methods. Electronic shock collars are banned in Wales, and the position in England and Scotland has been the subject of proposed bans and guidance — check the current rule where you work. And if you also board or take dogs for day care, that is a licensable activity under the animal activities licensing regulations, whereas training alone is not.
Can I charge travel automatically?
Yes, by area, shown before confirmation.
Can I manage group and one-to-one classes together?
Yes, as separate services with their own places and slots.
How do I collect information about the dog at booking?
With required custom fields.
How do I track a ten-session package?
It attaches to the client record and the balance updates itself.
