Private lessons are a great opportunity for owners and dogs seeking one-on-one, individualized help. Private lessons are 30- 60 minutes long and can be customized to assess problem behaviors, make up missed class exercises, or create a training plan for a certain sport. We will be able to cover 1-2 skills in a 30 minute private lesson.

Customized Training Plans: Each dog is unique, and so is their training plan. During private lessons, your trainer will assess your dog’s specific needs and tailor each session to address them. Whether it’s enhancing obedience, improving leash manners, or addressing behavior challenges, we focus on the skills that matter most to you and your dog. With flexible scheduling, you can find a time that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Controlled Learning Environment: Training in a private setting allows us to minimize distractions and create a space where your dog can focus. This controlled environment helps to reinforce positive behaviors and allows us to build your dog’s skills in a way that encourages consistency and long-term success. Our sessions are available seven days a week, making it easy to find a time that works for your schedule and keeps your dog’s training on track.
Access to Professional Training Tools: Our facility is equipped with specialized training gear—ranging from agility equipment to enrichment tools. Your trainer will incorporate the right tools for your dog’s development, using equipment that aligns with your dog’s training goals and enhances their learning experience. Flexible scheduling makes it easier to maintain consistency in your dog’s progress.
Guided Progress & Homework Support: Our trainers are committed to ensuring you and your dog progress between sessions. During each lesson, you’ll receive personalized exercises and guidance to practice at home, allowing you to reinforce the skills learned during training. Follow-up sessions can be scheduled as needed to address questions or challenges, helping you feel confident in applying training techniques and supporting your dog’s learning.
