A customer asked me how much it cost to have their dog trained like this....
I answered him, " $10,000."
He said, "So expensive for this job!"
I asked, "How much do you think it would cost you?"
He answers me, "$1000 maximum... That's a pretty simple job right?"
I Stated, " For $1000 I invite you to do it yourself."
He says, "But.... I don't know how to."
Okay, I said, "For $2000 I'll teach you how to. So, besides saving you $2000, you'll get the knowledge for the next time you want it.
That seemed right to him and he agreed.
But then i said, "But to get started you’ll need gear: collars, leashes, toys, a bite suit, a crate, supplements, I have a complete list. You'll need about $3000."
His mouth drops, and he says, " But I don't have that money nor do I know where to buy all this equipment and I can't buy all of these for one dog."
So, I then said, "Well then for another $1500 more I'll rent my stuff to you so you can do it."
- Okay, he says.
Then I said,"Okay! Tuesday I'm available for you to start doing this!
He says," But I can't on Tuesday I only have time today."
Then I say, " I'm sorry, but I'm only available Tuesday to teach you and lend you my stuff, other days are busy with other customers."
He says, "Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Tuesday and take the day off."
Oh, I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the nonproductive factors and they are Bureaucratic, tax, vat, security, insurance, fuel etc.
Oh and I say, "It’s also the summer time, so we need to get up early to beat the heat! So let’s start at 6am."
He then shouts, "At 6??? Nope! Too early for me! I used to getting up later..You know, I've been thinking. I'd rather pay you the $10,000 If I had to do it, it wouldn't be perfect and it would cost me a lot more!

*********When you pay for a job, especially dog training and other trades, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Wear and tear on the body
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Professionalism
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Patents
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
- Payment of tax obligations
******Critiquing the work of others based on pricing is not fair. The fees I would charge for a similar task are considerably higher than what is indicated here, but the emphasis lies in the principle rather than the specific amount.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.

PART 4 OF 4 VIDEO OF PLACE COMMAND end video.
The question was why does he test the placement boundaries... ***Trainer...thinks 🤔💭 in her mind, goes back to the antecedents, what's happening before-hand, the environment, the other factors by looking at the whole picture, the trainers answer .. "he's a shepherd with long hair, it's hot out, he's working up energy by training, how about replacing the bed with a cooling mat?
***watch the difference in dog and the placement of the dog on the last video.
***Take away: look at the whole picture before judging the dog.

PART 2 OF 4 VIDEOS:
A peek into a clients "place" command training videos that they send me for homework 🥰 I love my job. (Husband and wife working together 👍)
*Ps. This is Maverick 🥰 and in the beginning videos the client asked me," why does he test the boundaries by only laying a little off the bed everytime?"
*** Notice the question and how the owner automatically thinks the dog is either doing it "out-of-spite" or "testing the boundaries".
