Hallo Pluto!
Do you really mean that the price is different for different kind of breeds.
So stupid, I never heard about that.

I had to stop training my dogs , i have a really bad shoulder and i cant train without getting alot of pain in it.
But i can still tell alot about it and love it to bits.

I was training at a regular dogschool , there are many like that overhere , with about 12 to 20 members.
We paid a yearly fee of about € 125,00 per year for two times a weeks training , without a winter or holiday stop.
I think that is about the average prize for a nbg club in holland.

Puppy and obedience classes are mostly done by other kind of schools , but that is where they get more money for short lessons for a shorter period of time - and often a second class ..from a to b and etc etc ... GG1 GG2 etc
