In-Home Reinforcement: Costs and Value After a Stay

New habits fade without reinforcement. A visit at your address reminds the dog and the household what the rules are. Estimates around New York run from $100 to $200 per visit, and distance, parking and building access can shift the total.

  • The trainer explains why each exercise works.
  • There is time to troubleshoot what went wrong since the last session.
