Private dog training offers a tailored approach that addresses your dog’s unique needs, behaviors, and your specific goals as an owner. Unlike group classes, private sessions focus on one-on-one guidance when and where you want to focus, allowing the trainer to fully assess and adjust techniques to suit your dog’s and your learning style. You also get the personalized feedback and immediate correction you need to keep progressing session after session.

Everyone has different goals, and we can help you meet yours in a variety of ways. We work with owners pursuing a wide range of outcomes. Some are looking for simple obedience, others want a more comprehensively well-mannered dog, and we help those seeking to address more acute behavioral challenges. By teaching you to understand and train your dog, we make you an integral participant in the process and ensure longer-term success.

After completing obedience training, our Alumni are invited to join us for regularly scheduled Group Classes, where we continue to refine leash handling skills, advance training, take the opportunity to socialize our dogs, and meet other passionate dog owners.

Training begins in the home, where distractions are limited and we can focus on building foundational skills. From there, we take training outside and into real-world environments to address the types of distractions you'll encounter daily. No controlled facility or sterile environment—our training is designed to work where you and your dog live your lives!

We would be happy to talk to you about your situation and how we can help. We have experience with behavioral issues ranging from mild suspicion to consistently aggressive behavior. We have successfully taught owners like you the skills necessary to create an environment where they and their dog feel safe.

Don’t let the saying fool you – you can teach an old dog new tricks! We do want to be sensitive to the reality that training can increase stress as dogs age. If your dog is older and you have doubts about your dog’s medical fitness for training, consider discussing this with your veterinarian before starting a new program.

At this time, we do not offer Board and Train programs.
