Dog Training Price Overview
$75 to $2,500+depending on the program
Typical Knoxville dog training prices start around $75 for one private lesson and climb past $2,500 for a multi-week board and train.
- The format you pick: single lessons, a lesson package, in-home visits or board and train.
- How long the plan runs, since a longer program spreads the cost over more hands-on time.
- Your dog's age and starting point, because a young puppy and a dog with years of habits need different amounts of work.
Board and Train Prices
$1,500 to $2,500+for a 2 to 3 week program
A board and train is the most hands-on option and carries the highest price tag, with two to three weeks typically running about $1,500 to $2,500 and longer programs reaching $4,000 or more.
- Program length, commonly two to three weeks, with longer plans costing more.
- Daily one-on-one work with a single trainer rather than a rotating cast of staff.
- Practice in real-world places like sidewalks and parks, not only indoor spaces.
Private Lesson Prices
$75 to $150per lesson
Private lessons are the simplest way to price out training.
- Lesson length and how often you meet, since weekly spacing gives you time to practice between visits.
- Package size: four to six lessons usually cost less per visit than paying lesson by lesson.
- Whether the lessons happen at a park, a training spot or your home.
Puppy Training Prices
$150 to $350per lesson package
Puppy training is often the lowest-cost way to get ahead of problems, with packages typically running $150 to $350 per lesson package.
- Your puppy's age, since younger puppies need shorter lessons and simpler goals.
- Which habits you want first: potty routine, mouthing, crate comfort or leash walking.
- How many lessons are in the package and how often they are spaced.
In-Home Training Prices
$100 to $200per lesson
In-home lessons typically run $100 to $200 each.
- The trainer's travel time to your address, which is why visits cost more than a park lesson.
- Teaching the whole household in one sitting instead of passing instructions along afterward.
- Working on the exact spots where problems happen, like the front door or the kitchen.
Obedience Training Prices
$500 to $1,200per package
Obedience packages typically run about $500 to $1,200, depending on how many lessons you need and how reliable you want the skills to be.
- How many skills you want, from basic sit and down to a dependable recall and heel.
- Whether lessons move out to busy places where reliability gets tested.
- Package length, which usually comes to several lessons over a few weeks.
Behavior Training Cost
$600 to $1,800per program
Behavior coaching for things like leash reactivity, barking and fearfulness typically runs about $600 to $1,800 per program.
- Each plan is built around one dog's triggers and learning pace.
- Sessions are slower and often happen in controlled real-world settings for safety.
- The coaching includes you, since your handling is a big part of the progress.

A low price per lesson can still add up. Compare the total for the full plan, not the first figure you see.
Ask what is included
Handoff lessons, follow-up support and written practice plans can change which option is the better value.
Match the program to the problem
Everyday manners rarely need a board and train. A simple package may do the job for less.
Practice is the real cost
Short daily practice does more than extra lessons, so build time for it into your week.
Keep one trainer
Staying with the same trainer avoids paying to repeat the basics with someone new.
