PRIVATE TRAINING SESSIONS
One-on-One Private Training Sessions provide hands-on guidance from the trainer as we work through training your dog to achieve your goals in the comfort of your own home.​
These sessions will help YOU to obtain the skills you need to provide effective training between the (typically) weekly formal training sessions as well as maintain the behaviors following the training program.
​​
** PLEASE NOTE: This training path requires management and self-discipline from you.
While "homework" is typically only a total of 15-30 minutes per day, to be successful, it is so important to be consistent in completing the daily training!​
​​
In-Home Private Training Sessions are scheduled in 30, 45, or 60 minute sessions.

So how many training session hours does your dog need?
The length of training depends on your dog AND you...
The dog's age, maturity, aptitude for learning, innate drives, prior experiences and training, and mental state
AND
Your training goals for your dog, your learning abilities related to dog training, and most importantly your ability and consistency in implementation and adherence to the training regimen as instructed.
Goal specific training programs are listed below.
These program are effective when owners are consistent in following the training plan, consistently implementing management interventions and strictly adhere to the structured daily training exercises between the private training sessions. **
