If you would like to work with us through Private Lessons we always begin with an initial consultation. This consultation is where we discuss what you are wanting to work on with your dog, outline a training plan, and decide which lesson package will be the best fit for you and your dog. The initial consultation typically lasts 60 - 90 minutes.

A great fit for most dogs looking to work on basic obedience skills or puppy skills.

A great fit for those looking to work on more in depth skills or work through behavior issues like reactivity.

​In the Neighborhood tutoring sessions are great for everyone. These sessions may be inside your home (as long as you are comfortable), your yard, or wandering around your neighborhood. This is a great starting point for all dogs include our baby puppies and reactive dogs. These sessions also naturally build towards Out & About sessions, especially if that's your goal. 

These sessions are scheduled for an hour of training time.

Out & About tutoring sessions are great for those who are looking to generalize their dogs skills and be able to take them to local parks, stores, or restaurant patios. These tutoring sessions are scheduled for 2 hours, allowing up to 30 minutes of driving time each way and guaranteeing a full hour of training time. Your trainer will select the exact location of each session based on your goals, the weather, and your dogs abilities. 

These sessions are also great for our reactive dogs who are working towards getting their skills into more public places. We do recommend that reactive dogs start with In the Neighborhood sessions to set a foundation of skills before moving Out & About.

This program is designed to be an intensive on getting your dogs loose leash walking skills on point. Over the 6 weeks we will take your dog from dragging you down the street to walking nicely at your side.

​

Each program begins with a private lesson where we get our gear set up properly and start with a few exercises for you to do to help them learn. For the next 4 weeks your trainer will come twice a week to take your pup for 30 minute training walks. This helps take some of the heavy lifting off of your plate, and speeds your pups training along as we start generalizing the skill straight away. At the end of those 4 weeks you will meet for another private lesson to check in on progress and do some trouble shooting as a team.

​

The next two weeks your trainer will come to take your pup out once a week for a field trip to a nearby park to practice taking their new leash walking skills to a new environment. Those field trips are followed by another private lesson to check in, then another one two weeks later to make sure that you and your dog are feeling confidence in your new skills. 

​

This program includes:

4 Private Lessons

8 30 minute Training Walks

2 Out & About Tutoring Sessions
