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!

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.

Your commitment to working with your dog for twenty minutes twice daily, as well as incorporating the training into your lifestyle will ensure your success.

Your dog will show measurable weekly progress toward your goals as you continue to practice in various places with interesting distractions.

Well Mannered Dog Basic Obedience

Designed for the family who would like their dog be well mannered, to walk politely, AND have their dog chill out while they eat dinner, have company over or go to an outdoor event or restaurant. Investment: $750

  • Eight on leash commands: Heel, Sit, Down, Place, No, Off, Break & Come

  • Six private lessons to teach you and your dog the behaviors

  • Problem solving and advice specifically for your dog and your goals

Off-Leash Training Advanced Obedience

You've finished the Well Mannered Dog program, and now you're ready to take your dog off-leash and enjoy some adventures. An approved E-collar and diligent practice are a must. Number of lessons is directly impacted by your training diligence.  I do lesson by lesson here as most people need very few after completing the Well Mannered Dog Program.  This allows us to set the lessons up as needed in various locations to work on specific goals.  Investment: $125 per lesson
