Do you mean for you to learn to train the dog or to get the dog trained? I don't know the norm but to send a dog with a good trainer around here (they keep the dog and train it) it runs around $400 a month. But most people train their own dogs, in that case you would need to take lessons which can run from around $35 or more an hour for privates, or $10 or so per hour for group lessons. I don't know anyone around here that does group lessons in Schutzhund though, I have trained and shown my dogs in obedience for over 20 years (gads I feel old! ) so mainly just needed to learn the Schutzhund exercises which I did by training with friends which didn't cost anything...so basically the most common way for someone starting out would be to join a club, get some private lessons and in between get together to practice with other club members.

(RUN Mahkayla, Dad has plans for you LOL!)
