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.

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.

What Sets Hyped Hounds Apart

Personalized Training for Your Dog

Every dog learns differently. Private lessons allow us to address your dog’s behavior at the source and customize training to fit their needs—not a generic checklist.

Hands-On Coaching for Owners

You’ll learn how to communicate clearly, reinforce good habits, and handle your dog confidently in daily life.

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.

What Our Clients Have to Say

  • Hands down the place to take your pup to daycare or a board and train! Katie is phenomenal at what she does and is the only person I trust my pups with!! If you don’t take your pups there you’re really missing out!

    Chow D.

  • Katie and Josh are the best! We have been taking our dog to them for years. Our little guy trained with Katie over the span of 4 weeks, it was the best decision we could've made, he is so well behaved. I would highly recommend any of their services.

    Raven A. and Banner

  • We are OBSESSED with Hyped Hounds!! They were amazing with our dogs. We started with daycare and kept coming back for more. We took both of our dogs for training and they came back as brand new well behaved dogs! Katie made the process so simple. She trained them well and gave me the tools to continue their training at home. I have highly recommended them to all of my fellow fur parents!!! You will not be disappointed!

    Jordan B.

  • Katie and Josh are the most amazing dog trainers! We sent both of our Aussies to them for training. We now have two well behaved Aussies! After our first dog got home from his board and train experience we immediately changed her name in our phones to Katie the magical dog trainer!
