If you're looking for a dog trainer in York, one of the first questions you'll probably have is: how much does dog training actually cost?

And, well, the short answer is that it depends on the type of training your dog needs, how much support you require, and whether you're looking for group classes, 1:1 training or more specialist behaviour support.

One of the biggest factors I find holds clients back when considering whether to invest in dog training is the cost.

And yes, I totally get it.

Money doesn't grow on trees, and with the cost of living forever rising, the amount of cash sitting in people's bank accounts at the end of the month has been dropping.

Dog training can get expensive.

However, if the impact of your dog's behaviour is affecting your life so much that you're desperate for things to change, then surely it's worth the price?

For some people, that might mean finally being able to enjoy a walk without being dragged down the street. For others, it might mean being able to have visitors over without worrying about their dog's behaviour, or simply feeling confident enough to take their dog out and enjoy life together.

But price isn't the only thing worth considering. The right training should give you practical skills that you can continue using long after your session has finished. The right trainer for you will make a lasting impact on both you and your dog. And most importantly, the right advice and training plan should give you the tools to create the change you're looking for.

And that is exactly what Be More Monty Dog Training aims to offer every single one of our clients.

BMMDT Services & Our Pricing:

At Be More Monty Dog Training, we offer a range of services to cater for the needs of all our clients, with an understanding that everyone (and every dog) works differently. We’re here to support that.

🔹 1:1 sessions - £70 - £400

Our 1:1 training ranges from an individual assessment session through to our multi-session packages. Depending on what you and your dog need, our options include:

Package of 3, 5 or 7
Puppy Package
Rescue Package
Ecollar Package

1:1 training is a great option if you want training tailored specifically to your dog, your lifestyle and the challenges you're experiencing.

Rather than trying to make your dog fit into a generic training programme, we can focus on the things that matter most to you.

🔹 Group Classes - £20 - £30

Our group classes range from £20 - £30, depending on the type and length of class.

Group training can be a brilliant way to teach your dog new skills while also helping them learn to focus and work around distractions.

It's also a great opportunity for you to practise your handling skills in a slightly more challenging environment.

🔹 Day Trains - £120

For £120, your dog gets to hang out and learn with an experienced trainer ALL DAY!

Day Trains are perfect if you feel a bit stuck, aren't sure where to go next with your training, or simply want your dog to have a fun day out at their own version of school!

Your dog gets dedicated training time, enrichment and plenty of opportunities to practise their skills - while you get the benefit of an experienced trainer working with your dog.

And no, they don't come home with a gold star. But they did come home, tired, fulfilled and with even more training progress made!

🔹 The Monty Method - £789

The Monty Method is our largest training package, specifically designed for dogs struggling with reactivity.

It's much more than simply a handful of training sessions.

The package includes a whole range of resources and support, including:

1:1 training sessions
Virtual support
Group class access
Shadowing availability
Ongoing guidance and resources

Reactive dog training can be a long and sometimes frustrating journey, so having the right support around you can make a huge difference.

The Monty Method is designed to give you that support and help you understand your dog's behaviour, rather than simply telling you what to do.

What's more, it's built around the methods that helped Monty through his own reactivity journey, alongside my personal experience of owning, training and living with a reactive dog.

So you're not just getting a training plan pulled from a textbook. You're getting the benefit of the things I've learned through working with Monty, understanding his triggers, figuring out what worked for him and, perhaps most importantly, experiencing first-hand what it's like to live with a reactive dog.

Is Dog Training Worth The Money?

In my opinion, absolutely. But only when the training is focused on helping you understand your dog and build skills that you can use in real life.

And when you, as the owner, actually complete your homework!

Because here's the thing: your dog trainer isn't going home with you.

I can teach you strategies, show you what to do, help you understand what's happening and give you a training plan. But you're the person who gets to practise it every day. Good training isn't about having a dog that performs a perfect sit for a treat. It's about making everyday life easier.

It's about:

Being able to enjoy a walk without being dragged down the street
Being able to call your dog back
Helping your dog cope with distractions and their triggers
Having visitors without your dog launching themselves at the front door
Understanding what your dog is communicating with you
Learning how to communicate more effectively with your dog
Feeling confident in your ability to handle different situations

And most importantly, it's about building a relationship where you and your dog understand each other better. Those things can make an enormous difference to life with your dog.

If you'd like help with your dog, get in touch by emailing imogen@bemoremonty.com or message me on 07960 189794 to find out how I can help your dog.

The aim isn't simply to train your dog. It's to help you understand each other better, and to Be More Monty 💫
