Dog Training

PRIVATE LESSONS

We will design a custom training/behavior package tailored to you and your dogs specific needs. Private lessons offer valuable one on one, individualized training and can be customized to the training and/or behavior issues that are most important to you. They are also more convenient, giving you flexibility rather than attending scheduled classes. Dogs with "issues" such as dog to dog aggression or dog to human aggression would not be suitable for group instruction, therefore making private training the only option at first. Even with private lessons, distractions and socialization are recommended to shift the context of the training. Your dog may be well trained at home but what happens when you leave your house? Private lessons are more costly than group classes.
