QUESTION: What does obedience training ussualy cost

Answer
It all depends on where you live and what's available.  I have seen classes from $80 to $150 for 8 weeks.  I have also seen classes where you just show up at $6 per class.  

Trust me, spending $150 for a class now may seem like alot but don't you think it would be worth it to save your $500 mattress, or next time when she chews your new $80 shoes, or when you need to spend $1000 to get an obstruction removed from her stomach.

Call around...Petsmart and Petco have classes, so cities have community programs, and there are also independent dog training places.  What city and state are you in?  Google "dog training" and your city, and see what comes up.
