Here it all depends on what group you go to. My group doesn't really run any classes but the majority of us went to the same training centre that charges $20 per class the classes running anywhere from 6-8 weeks in other words you end up paying $120-160 for a set of classes...and if you ask me it's well worth it considering that the teacher is a world class competitor.
As for the group we charge a fee of $100 to join which we put in a bank account for equipment repairs and other such things. After the first year the membership fee for the group is $30 per person but we also have a family rate and a junior handler rate. Our drop-in fees are $5 per person, but once again that money is put towards the group or building rentals.
The group I'm in also runs a Just For Fun house league out of a barn south of the city, for that we charge $60 for one dog and $20 for every other dog with a limit of 3 dogs per handler. It seems like a lot of money but it's worth it as the dogs are constantly improving every week.
