Our Private Lesson Programs
Initial Consultation & Evaluation (90 mins):
Our 90-minute Initial Consultation & Evaluation is the best first step if you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior and feeling overwhelmed. During this in-depth session, our experienced trainer will meet with you and your dog to assess their temperament, observe current behaviors, review their history, and discuss your specific challenges and goals. We’ll provide honest feedback and create a fully customized training plan tailored to your dog’s needs and your lifestyle. Whether you need help with reactivity, anxiety, manners, or more advanced training, this consultation helps us determine the most effective path forward — whether it’s private lessons, board & train, or another program — so you finally get the results you’ve been looking for.
In Home Consulation & Evaluation (2 hours):
Our In-Home Consultation & Evaluation is a personalized, in-depth 2-hour session held directly in your home, offered on a case-by-case basis with limited availability. This service is ideal for new puppy or dog owners wanting to prevent bad habits before they start, or for those dealing with ongoing house manners, multi-dog dynamics, or specific home environment challenges. During the visit, we’ll assess your dog in their everyday setting, discuss and implement practical house rules, teach you how to reinforce desired behaviors, and create a customized plan tailored to your household’s routine and lifestyle. You’ll leave with clear, actionable steps you can start using immediately to build better manners and a more harmonious home life with your dog. Because of the high level of customization and travel involved, spots are limited — contact us today to see if an in-home consultation is the right fit for your situation.

Important Notes for Private Training
Private lessons are recommended when dogs struggle in group settings due to reactivity, aggression, fearfulness, or other challenges. Weekly video submissions (via YouTube) are required between lessons so we can provide feedback and keep you on track. Upon completion of your program, we’ll discuss next steps, including transitioning to group classes when appropriate.
