In the summer of 2008, we conducted a survey of businesses offering services similar to ours in the East Bay.  Our current prices are based on what we found out, as well as the fact that we provide convenience by going to our clients. and the fact that our founder, and main services provider, is a professional who has been in the business for over 15 years.

Although we have no intention to lower our prices,  as we need to set prices that allow us to make a living, we understand that the economy is bad.  We, above all else, want to help those who need our help.  If you feel that our prices are beyond your means, please talk to us, and we will do our best to find a way to make it work for you.

SILVER LINING DOG TRAINING

Our normal hourly rate for all dog training services is $125.

Initial behavior consults normally run 2-3 hours. We charge a flat rate of $125 for this consult.  This fee is often waved, if a contract is signed for further services.

Day Training and Canine Aggression Treatment Services are sold as package deals, with a discount off of the normal hourly rate. The prices of these packages are determined by the extent of the training needed.  The more training needed, the more the discount.
