Private Training

Problem solving based one-on-one training either in your home or in our schoolhouse for your dog and you! Some behaviors are best addressed in private settings. Or, perhaps you feel more confident with one-on-one guidance. We are here to help! These sessions are with the trainer, the dog, and the whole family to ensure everyone is on the same page. This is a great option if you have small children or multiple family members who would benefit from a dedicated session with the trainer.
