Private Lessonsis the right fit if…
- Owners who want to be the one training the dog and want a coach who'll show them how.
- Dogs that don't need a full board-and-train but need expert coaching dialed in.
- Schedules that make a multi-week residential impractical — private lessons spread across months.
- Specific skills you want to nail: leash manners, place command, polite greetings, recall reliability.
It's not the right fit if…
- You are time-poor and need the dog trained without you doing the daily work — choose Day Training or board-and-train instead.
What to expect
Each session is 60–75 minutes with one of our trainers. We work the specific skills your dog needs, then send you home with homework. Most owners run a 4–8 lesson package over 2–3 months. Sessions can be at our HQ facility or in your home if it makes the training stick faster for your specific case.
What's included
- Customized training plan
- Address specific behavioral issues
- Train in your home environment
- Family involvement encouraged
- Flexible scheduling
- Homework assignments between sessions
Questions we hear about Private Lessons
How long until I see real change?+
Most owners see meaningful change within the first 2–3 sessions if they practice the homework between sessions. Real durable change takes the full lesson package — typically 2–3 months of consistent work.
What if I can't make the homework happen?+
Then private lessons are probably not the right path for you and your dog right now. Day Training or board-and-train get the dog trained without daily handler practice. Tell us honestly on the consult call and we will recommend the right tier — we are not trying to upsell you to private lessons if you will not stick with them.
In-home or at your facility?+
Depends on the case. Generalization-of-behavior cases (the dog acts up specifically at home) often need at least the first few sessions in your house. Skill-building cases (recall, place, off-leash) usually go faster at our facility where the environment is structured for it.
Can I bring more than one dog?+
Yes. We charge per session, not per dog, when the dogs are together as a household. We'll structure the sessions so each dog gets meaningful work — typically by rotating focus.
