A very small town on a high plateau.
- County
- Hamilton County
- From Chattanooga
- 4 mi southwest
- Main roads
- the mountaintop streets near Point Park
- Where dogs walk
- the lanes around Point Park
With a land area of roughly 1.3 square miles, the town is tiny. Streets are close together, so a barking dog or a lunging dog is noticed quickly. Owners often start by asking for quiet manners at home and polite walks. A few private lessons or an in-home visit usually fit that need, and a short obedience package covers the rest.
Because the town is small and high, a trainer from the valley may need extra time to reach it. Ask about the drive and any fee before you book. Some trainers set a minimum for travel. Packages that bundle several visits can bring the cost per visit down. Always request the total in writing.
The area around Point Park draws visitors, which means more people and more dogs on some days. A dog that stays calm in busy spaces is easier to take along. Practice sits at curbs, let the dog watch from a distance and reward relaxed behavior. Check posted rules for dogs at parks and trails before you visit.
General estimates: private lessons $75 to $150, in-home visits $100 to $200, obedience $500 to $1,200, behavior coaching $600 to $1,800. These are planning figures, not quotes. Names and rankings are left out of this page on purpose.
