Private Lessons Tailored to You
Looking for personalized training that fits your schedule and your dog’s unique needs? Our private lessons are the perfect solution. Whether you’d like a trainer to come to your home, prefer one-on-one attention, or need help with specific behavior challenges, we’ve got you covered.
We offer a range of flexible options to support you and your dog—right where you need it most.
Training Consultations
Every dog is unique—and their training should be too. That’s why we start with a 60–90 minute consultation to get to know you and your dog. During this session, we’ll evaluate your dog’s behavior, discuss your goals, and identify any challenges you're experiencing. Whether you're looking for help with basic obedience or mild behavior issues, we’ll work together to create a personalized training plan tailored to your dog's age, needs, and learning style.
Our consultations are also a great time to ask questions, learn about our approach, and determine which training package is the best fit for your dog.
Consultation Fee: $65
Private Lessons
Our private lessons are ideal for pet parents who want focused, one-on-one support right in the comfort of their home or a local training space. Each session lasts a minimum of one hour, and we’ll work on the training goals or behavioral concerns that matter most to you—whether that’s basic obedience, leash manners, crate training, or common issues like jumping, pulling, or overexcitement.
We also work with dogs showing mild reactivity (such as excitement-based or environmental reactivity), and can help with management, confidence building, and real-world exposure. However, we do not accept cases involving human or dog-directed aggression. If you’re unsure where your dog falls on this scale, we recommend scheduling a consultation first.
We offer flexible lesson packages to meet your goals and schedule:
-
3-Lesson Package
-
5-Lesson Package
-
7-Lesson Package
Need more support? Packages can be renewed, or custom plans can be created on a case-by-case basis for more complex needs.
Single Lessons available on request
* Depending on the training issue, one lesson will not be enough to fix the problem and a one off lesson will not be available for those issues
