I’m trying to train a German Shepherd to be a good guard dog.
P.S live in FL

Depends on what kind of training, the location, and who you take them too. You may be looking at $150 or you may be looking at $500. Your best bet would be to look in your phone book and do some calling around, or ask your vet for a recommendation.
My suggestion, let the dog be a pet and get a home security system with either Brinks or ADT.

To train for being a guard costs quite a lot more than basic training. Also a German Shepherd is so smart that they are already a guard dog. They are smart enough to know good from bad people. Usually when a person tries to make their dog more aggressive they end up wishing they hadn’t. Especially when the dog attacks the mailman or a kid because its trained to be that way.

For basic group obedience classes, I paid $150 for each set of 6 sessions.
If you want private sessions, it will cost more.
If you want specialized training, it will probably cost a LOT more.
A GSD will be a great WATCHDOG without any special training … he’ll bark a loud, healthy warning if a stranger or intruder approaches. Do you really need more than that? Probably not.

Dog training courses costs different. It demends on what you want your dog to learn.
Example:Learning their name
$100 for 1-2 hours.
I have a pet store by my house and they have training courses there for dogs.
