An important part of making this work possible is telling the stories of the people and pets we work with, and showing what we are doing in our community. We don't need to know personal information like your finances or details about your dog's behavior. We want to focus our storytelling on how working with Free Dog Trainers makes you and your dog feel.

For example: "Free Dog Trainers has helped me feel empowered to..." or "Free Dog Trainers has changed the way me and my dog connect with each other by..."

Of course we've gotta have merch. If you're the type who loves talking about Free Dog Trainers, our apparel is a great conversation starter.

If you're an artist who wants to donate some art for future apparel, we'd LOVE to collaborate. We'll even send you a free piece of merch as a thank you!
Email Devan@FreeDogTrainers.org to get the conversation started!

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we rely on your donations to keep the lights on. 

$25: One New Client

People have to find out about Free Dog Trainers somehow. That means we pay for advertising in a variety of formats, online and physical print media. On average that marketing and advertising costs us about $25 per client.

$50: One Session With Free Dog Trainers

We do our best to keep our operating costs as low as possible, but we employ a team of skilled professionals. Those professionals need to be paid a living wage, and we have to maintain systems that keep them employed. Total costs for every one-on-one session with a Free Dog Trainer averages about $50. 

$100: Average Client Cost Per Month

About half of the people who book first appointments with Free Dog Trainers end up becoming regular clients. Half of our clients just want to meet with a trainer to see if they're on the right path, then check in with us as needed. Some clients meet with us once a month, others meet once a week. All things considered, the average cost of our work is about $100 per client per month.

$250: One Session with Comparable Services

Dog training is expensive! When you're running a small business alone, you have to cover tons of overhead costs like insurance, licensing fees, buying, renting, and/or maintaining a facility, health benefits, etc. All of that adds up quick! So for services comparable to what we offer, (one-on-one consultations with a certified trainer,) the average cost is around $250. Free Dog Trainers provides that for free!
