Private Lessons
Just you, your dog and me focused on your training needs
Are you excited to learn alongside your dog?
Are you prepared to practice?
Are you ready for homework?
Then private lesson dog training on your schedule is the answer!
Ready, Set...Go!
For my private lesson clients, I'm looking for someone who can follow along as we go through the nuts and bolts of dog training. It will take longer because you will be learning together and so your dog will not be perfect until you are perfect (we call this the messy middle). You will learn why we do what we do, how it affects your dog, what we can change, what is just your dog's quirks, and how to set achievable goals. You also need to be committed to working with your dog at least two times a day to get him trained (more is better) as well as incorporating the training into you everyday life routine. Your dog will not get "trained" in class but rather through your repetition - practicing the same thing over and over and over again in various places just like a dog in residency but instead of me doing the heavy lifting, and you get to do work at your own pace.
Still ready to work?
