Tailored Training That Respects Every Dog—and Every Human
In-Home Private Lesson
Each session lasts one hour, with an additional 15 minutes offered at no extra cost for questions, practice, or just extra support.
Sessions are designed to be hands-on and collaborative:
I begin by working directly with your dog to introduce and reinforce the desired behaviors.
Then, I guide you through the same techniques, ensuring you feel confident and capable.
Finally, I observe your practice with your dog, offering real-time feedback and adjustments.
At the end of each session, you’ll receive customized homework to reinforce progress between lessons.
No two dogs are the same. That’s why your dog’s training program is always customized to meet your dog’s unique personality, history, and home environment. Whether you’re looking for help with foundational obedience or need support addressing specific behavioral issues like anxiety or reactivity, I’ll create a training plan that fits your goals and your lifestyle.
As your dog and you demonstrate readiness and solid foundational skills, we will begin to focus on more advanced training:
Exposure to specific and controlled distractions (e.g., food, toys, movement)
Introduction of advanced obedience commands and increased difficulty
Gradually working through more stressful or stimulating situations
Sessions conducted in public settings. Improving your dog’s focus, confidence, and reliability outside the home including parks and dog-friendly retail locations, or even your place of work if you want to be able to bring your pup along.
Structured work around other dogs
