Hi folks:

I'm a very experienced dog owner (multiple dogs and fosters over more than 30 years) but rusty about new dog "onboarding," as my last adoption was a decade ago.

I just adopted a dog that has a few socialization issues, needing more than the basic sit, stay, heel stuff I'm comfortable doing alone. I consulted with a trainer who does a combo of "we train / you train." I like the approach they described, but I'm a little wigged by the price: The most basic package is close to a grand.

Do any of you know if this is the going rate for one-on-one dog training in the area? And while I like this outfit, I'm open to recommendations if you have anyone you really really like, preferably on the southern side of Wake County.

Thanks
