Why Private Lessons?
Private
Lessons ensure individual attention and a successful learning
environment. Training should be fun for people and animals. We strive
to make that happen. One session with a trainer will give you a better understanding of what you are facing with your training goals. Sometimes we can give you a little in-person guidance to enhance the knowledge you've gained from books and other resources.
Often it helps to have a hands-on demonstration of a technique you've read about or seen. Other times we may help you see that you are facing a long term commitment of training your pet (usually in small increments every day). We can help set you up for success with a training plan. Whatever your individual needs, we want to be there with you to help you succeed in having a healthy and loving relationship with your pet.

Private Lesson Plans
In
the event that you need more than a one-hour consultation or a one time
lesson, we have a variety of private lesson plans available. These
4-week private lesson plans are in place and ready to meet your
specific needs. Our most popular plans are the Puppy Kindergarten Plan and
the Basic Obedience Plan.
