Large properties give dogs room to roam, which makes recall the number one skill. Practice on a long line with a high-value reward, and never let a dog off leash near a road. Long driveways need a firm wait at the gate.
Horses, livestock and wild animals share the space. Teach your dog to ignore them by rewarding calm looks from a distance. Keep dogs on a leash or inside fences near animals, and be aware of snakes and other wildlife. Spend time on gate training: dogs that bolt through an open gate are a common problem on large properties.
Because properties are far apart, trainers may travel a long way. Ask about mileage and fees. Home visits are commonly estimated at $100 to $200 per lesson, and advanced obedience at $500 to $1,200. A trainer who understands rural property will plan around heat and insects.
Estimates for planning only. Prices vary by trainer, dog and market.
