Discover the power of individualized learning with one-on-one sessions, customized to your unique needs and goals. Whether you are welcoming a new puppy or seeking solutions to behavioral challenges, we are ready to help you understand and communicate with your pet so they become a loving member of your family and an active participant in all of your household activities. Let our experiences and knowledge fast-track your learning, answer your questions, and bring joy and harmony to your home.
During a private session, you decide what you want to focus on or tell us your goals and we can customize an agenda for you. For example, we can work together on:
Obedience Commands - We can do an introduction to frequently used basic obedience commands or work on advanced techniques by adding distance, duration, and distractions.
Behavior Modification - If you are having any behavioral issues from jumping on guests to leash reactivity, we can work together to solve the problem.
Proactive Education - Whether you need assistance deciphering your dog body language or teaching your children how to safely and respectfully interact with dogs before any issues arise, I can be your guide.
All Dogs Welcome - We work with dogs of any size, breed, age, and temperament.
Flexible Locations - Meet in the comfort of your home, at a nearby public park, or inside of our training facility.
Post-Session Summary - After each session, you will receive a personalized email with key takeaways, action items, and suggestions to reinforce your progress.
