NOTICE:
This service is now limited to returning clients due to a reduction in our capacity
with an experienced professional dog trainer
Two Private Lessons are included with all of our Board & Train Programs, but you may want to add more down the road... These are the best option if you need help with something specific, you live far away (and need to meet virtually), if you/your dog are too sensitive for group classes, or if your dog may not be a good fit for our programs.
through lessons include:
Obedience and Manners
Proper Socialization
Puppy Prep and Play Biting
Crate and House Training
Litter Evaluations - Temperament Testing
AKC Dog Conformation
Specialized Service Dog Skills
Troubleshooting Oddities
Help with Dog Sports
Lessons are not meant for serious Behavior Issues
Individual Lessons start at $75/hr
Best for introductory training and teaching specific skills
Best for multiple-dog households and basic obedience & manners
Best for getting a lot done... multiple skills, troubleshooting problems, etc.
2023 lessons are $75/hour + $.60/mile ($5 min.) travel fee if applicable. Packages are available that can make them as low as $72/hr. Starting on January 1st, 2024, lessons will be $85/hour.
The 2023 travel fee is $.60/mile ($5 min.) So, for example, if you live about 1.25 hours away, it would be about $81 in addition to the base lesson cost. Your fee would be calculated upon booking.
Yes, but working on multiple things with multiple dogs may require multiple sessions to cover everything.
Our availability depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the type/location of the lesson... usually, we schedule lessons at least 1 week in advance, typically on weekdays between 10AM-3pm.
No, we no longer accept cases of aggression, anxiety, fears/phobias, resource guarding, interhousehold issues (dogs fighting), or reactivity. It would require Behavior Consultations and we discontinued that service in 2022.
