One-on-One Sessions

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.

Topics we can cover

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

Is this a good fit?

Lessons are not meant for serious Behavior Issues

We work with integrity, so we want to be upfront about what kind of work we specialize in. We no longer accept cases of aggression, anxiety, or reactivity as we discontinued Behavior Consultations in 2022. If you're not sure, please reach out.

FAQ

  • How much are Private Lessons?

    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.

  • How much is the Travel Fee?

    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.

  • Can you help me with more than 1 dog?

    Yes, but working on multiple things with multiple dogs may require multiple sessions to cover everything.

  • What is your availability?

    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.

  • Do you work on serious behavior issues?

    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.
