I understand that every dog is unique, and training is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why I offer personalized, private training sessions designed to meet your dog’s specific needs and your goals. Whether you want to work on basic obedience, advanced / competition training, or you’re dealing with behavioral issues, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
What to Expect from Private Training:
One-on-one sessions tailored to your dog’s personality, learning style, and progress.
• Customized Training Plans: No two dogs or families are alike, and neither should their training plans be. I’ll assess your dog’s behavior, environment, and your goals to develop a plan that works.
We begin at your home, yard and neighborhood, I also include meetings in public settings such as: parks, around town, pet friendly stores or events to give a well rounded education and lots of exposure.
• Flexible Scheduling
Common Training Areas Covered:
• Puppy Basics – Setting your pup up for success teaching good manners, proper social skills and starting them on the basic Trade Skills™
• Obedience Training – Teaching essential Trade Skills™ based on the 3D's (Duration, Distance, Distraction) which includes working at a distance.
• Advanced Training – Working on more complex tasks, adding complexity to the 3 D's, advancing Trade Skills™ for people who want more.
• Behavioral Rehabilitation – on a case by case basis dealing with the most common behavioral problems. *Please note: I no longer work with human aggressive dogs.
Ongoing Support: Support doesn’t end with the session. I offer continued guidance through follow-up communication to ensure lasting success. I am available for phone calls / texts and video review between meetings, and encourage students to communicate in between our lessons.
Whether you’re starting from scratch, wish to advance you and your dogs skills, or need help with specific behaviors, private training is an effective option and an excellent precursor to group classes, giving you better odds of getting the most out of a group class having already laid a solid foundation of relationship and expectations.
