Private Lessons

Private Training

Some dogs need more individualized instruction than we can provide in a group class, and that's okay! Whether your dog is reactive around other dogs, has specific behavioral issues you need to address, or you just can't find a group class that fits your schedule, private lessons are a great option. These one-on-one sessions allow you to work with a trainer at length to discuss and address the needs of your dog. Please check out our FAQ for help on what to bring and more details on what we can cover.

We require payment for your appointment at the time of booking.

Aggression:

We do not work with aggressive dogs and they are not allowed in the facility for liability reasons. Please contact a behaviorist to help with aggression. We do work with frustrated greeters and fearful dogs in private lessons only.

In-Home Training

For our In-Home Private training, you will have access to one of our qualified trainers to work with you and your dog with either basic training or problematic behaviors like resource guarding, dog reactivity, house destructive behaviors, separation anxiety, pottying issues, etc. We do not work with people-aggressive dogs. Your first lesson will involve your trainer assessing any issues, basic obedience, and your GOALS. Your trainer will help create a plan to better tailor to you and your dog’s needs and lifestyle. These in-home training programs can cover everything from puppy issues like potty training and nipping to behavior modification such as separation anxiety. Have a shy or nervous dog? We can work on that, too! For more problematic behaviors, management techniques that better fit your lifestyle will be given to help create a more relaxed and positive environment for not just your dog…but you and your family as well! During lessons, you will learn the knowledge our trainers provide to our dog owners to better have an understanding to practice on their own in between sessions. Congratulations, you're back in school! Homework is a necessity to seeing PROGRESS! 

Pricing:

$135 for one 60 minute session
$500 for four 60 minute sessions

In-home lessons more than 10 miles from the facility will be subject to a $1/mile travel fee.
