Train Fido for less

You’d like to take your pup to obedience classes, but they all seem so expensive—one hour-long session with a professional trainer can cost up to $100! A little-known secret? Local shelters often offer discounted obedience group classes for a fraction of the cost of one-on-one training (for example, $50 for four weekly one-hour sessions). Bonus: If you adopted your pal from the shelter, the classes might even be offered for free!
