Private training is a good fit for owners who want:

• Individual attention instead of group settings

• Help building or improving obedience skills

• Support with real-life behavior challenges

• A clearer understanding of how to train their dog

• Guidance on consistency, structure, and follow-through

• Training that fits their home life and schedule

This includes:

• New puppy owners starting from scratch

• Dogs that know some basics but aren’t reliable yet

• Dogs that struggle with focus or impulse control

• Dogs that need help in real-world environments

• Owners who want more confidence in handling their dog

This is a more intensive level of private training for dogs with serious behavioral challenges beyond basic obedience or manners. These cases require additional structure, guidance, and support to help the dog reach a more stable and manageable place.

This level of training is intended for dogs whose behavior is impacting safety, public control, or the ability of the dog and household to function normally in everyday life.

This is a case-by-case training option and is recommended only when appropriate, based on evaluation or initial assessment. Not all dogs require this level of support, and many will do well in standard private lessons or group classes!
