Private Dog Training Lessons for Real-World Results
Our Private Lessons program gives you the personalized guidance you need to create a well-mannered, reliable dog at home and out in the world. These sessions are designed to help you understand how to work with your dog, build clear communication, and create habits that last.
Whether your dog needs structure, better manners, or stronger obedience, private lessons help you get hands-on coaching and individualized support—without the overwhelm.
What are Private Lessons?
Private lessons are one-on-one training sessions held either in your home or out in public. You and your dog learn together, step-by-step, with clear instruction and weekly goals.
This approach is ideal for owners who want to be directly involved in the training process, want to understand how to maintain the results, and prefer real-world practice in their dog’s everyday environment.
Note: We do not work with aggression cases. Dogs must be current on Rabies and DHPP.
Private Lessons Programs
Below are the structured training programs we offer for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs needing better manners, stronger obedience, and reliable real-world behavior.
Before starting any program, a consultation is required so we can assess your dog, understand your goals, and build a plan that makes sense.
Consultation Fee: $150
Applied to Your Program: If booked within 2 weeks of your consult.
The consultation ensures you’re choosing the right program, your dog is a good candidate, and we’re setting you up for success from the start.

What to Expect During Your First Lesson
Your first lesson begins after your consultation and jumps straight into hands-on training. We’ll start building new habits right away and show you how to practice them throughout the week.
During your first lesson, you can expect:
Introductions to your dog’s first core skills
Clear demonstrations so you know exactly how to train at home
Coaching on timing, leash handling, and communication
A structured homework plan for the week
Practical exercises based on your dog’s age, needs, and program
Guidance on tools and equipment used during training
Your first lesson is all about learning the how — how to handle your dog, how to reinforce good behavior, and how to start seeing results from day one.

Real-World Training
From your living room to parks, stores, patios, and busy walking routes—we train where your dog actually needs the skills.
Flexible Scheduling
Weekly sessions allow enough time for practice and progression without overwhelming you or your dog.
