Private Lessons
Hands-on coaching. Real results. Lasting change.
Our private lesson programs are designed for dog owners who are ready to roll up their sleeves and take an active role in their dog’s transformation. Whether you’re looking to build solid obedience from the ground up or address more serious behavioral issues, we’ll create a personalized plan with clear goals and a structured path forward.
This isn’t cookie-cutter training. We customize each program to meet your specific needs—balancing skill development with behavior improvement, while coaching you on the most important part of the process: you.
Between sessions, you’ll be expected to put in the work. That means consistent practice, completing your assignments, and in some cases, submitting video updates for review and feedback. We’re here to guide and support you every step of the way—but your effort will determine your dog’s progress.
Along with the hands-on training, you’ll receive targeted coaching on structure, household management, and leadership. These aren’t optional extras—they’re essential elements to achieving reliable, lasting results.
Private lessons go beyond teaching commands. They’re about creating real change. That means addressing your dog’s behavior—and the patterns or habits at home that may be contributing to it. If you’re serious about seeing progress, be ready to work.
