Free Dog Trainer Quote Template
Dog trainers quote training programmes rather than individual sessions because consistent practice over 4 to 8 weeks produces lasting results. A package quote sets expectations on the number of sessions, the issues being worked on, and what homework the owner needs to do between sessions.

What should a dog trainer put on a quote?
A dog training quote sets out the planned sessions and the price before training starts, such as a behavioural consultation and a block of one-to-one sessions. List each session type, the time included, and any materials, and note that progress varies by dog. The figure stays an estimate until the owner accepts it.
Typical line items
- One-to-one training session (60 minutes)
- Behavioural consultation and assessment
- Puppy training programme (4 sessions)
- Block of training sessions (package)
- Training plan and written notes
- Travel to the client (if applicable)
- Follow-up support between sessions
- Estimated number of sessions
How the work is charged
Dog trainers usually quote a fixed price per session, with a discounted package for a programme. The number of sessions is an estimate that depends on the dog and the goals.
Payment terms and deposits
A quote often asks for payment per session or upfront for a package, sometimes with a deposit to book. The price holds for a stated period and is an estimate until accepted, so note what extra sessions would add.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number. Confirm the tax treatment that applies to training services where you work.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a dog trainer charge?
One-to-one dog training sessions cost €55 to €120 per hour. Puppy classes cost €20 to €45 per person per session for group training. A 6-session behavioural rehabilitation programme for a reactive or aggressive dog typically costs €500 to €800 for home visits. Board-and-train programmes run €600 to €2,000 per week.
What should a dog training quote include?
Specify the number of sessions, session duration, location (in-home or facility), the specific behaviours being addressed, whether owner education is included, what progress reports are provided, and the trainer's qualifications or accreditation (IMDT, COAPE, APDT). Without qualification context, clients can't assess the value.
Do dog trainers guarantee results?
No trainer can guarantee a dog's behaviour because outcomes depend heavily on consistent practice by the owner. A quote should note that progress depends on the owner implementing training between sessions. Setting expectations honestly leads to better outcomes and fewer disputes about results.
