Most 6-week sessions of group classes are $255, sales tax included. Taking more than one class, or training more than one dog? Packages and multi-class discounts save you up to $55 per class.
Sales tax is now included. The Washington State Department of Revenue now requires us to collect sales tax on dog training classes (but not private lessons). The current sales tax for our Kent location is 10.4%. Our 6-week class sessions and packages now include sales tax. Read the law.
