Private Dog Training

How it works

Our 1:1 Private Lessons are perfect for pet parents who have the desire, time, and energy to be heavily engaged in the training process alongside an expert trainer.

We start with an assessment to understand your dog and how they respond in a structured environment. From there, your trainer creates a personalized plan tailored to your dog’s unique needs.

The first sessions will take place at our facility, where we can minimize distractions and set your dog up for success while learning new behaviors.

As progress is made, we’ll gradually introduce new environments such as our outdoor training areas, a local park, or pet-friendly stores.

Sessions are available Monday through Saturday and run 60–90 minutes.

Your dog will learn things like:

  • Basic obedience like sit, come, and stay.

  • Socialization skills around dogs and people. come, and stay.

  • Focus in distracting environments.

  • Behavioral solutions to problems like biting, chewing, and barking.

  • Walking on the leash without pulling.

"Can’t wait for our next session to see how my dog progresses. Highly recommend this place, they know what they’re doing!"
