Typical range£40 to £80per lessonEstimates, not quotes. Real prices depend on the trainer, the dog and the area.
Why the price differs
- Lesson length, which runs from half an hour to a full hour or more.
- Whether the trainer comes to you, meets you at a park or uses their own space.
- Buying one lesson against a block of several.
- Written notes, videos or message support between lessons.
- The skill itself: a first sit is quicker to teach than a calm walk past other dogs.
- Travel in London: some trainers add a charge for crossing boroughs or for peak-hour journeys.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Should the whole household come along?
Anyone who gives cues should see them taught the same way, so partners and older children can usually join in.
What should I ask before booking?
Ask how the trainer teaches, what happens if your dog gets overwhelmed, whether the plan comes in writing and what the cancellation terms are. Reward-based methods are a sensible thing to look for.
Is there a licence for dog trainers?
There is no single legal licence for dog training in the UK, so ask about qualifications, insurance and membership of a professional body.
Can lessons happen in a park?
Often, yes. Ask the trainer which park they prefer and what happens if the weather or the crowds make it unworkable.
