Why Individual Lessons?
Have you tried everything and you and your puppy is still not bonding with you or your kids?​
Your puppy is hyperactive, doesn't listen, or is showing behavioral concerns?
Maybe you just got a new puppy and want to start out your relationship with the best help you can?
​
Well you are in the right place, we customize our lessons to fit the needs of you!
​
Individual Lessons
Looking for customized puppy training that supports the goals you have in mind and builds a better partnership with your puppy?
​
Then Individualized puppy training lessons are what you are looking for. There is not a one size fits all with dog training, just like with humans, they have varying needs, reinforcement history and genetics. So a cookie cutter method will not work. Individual lessons are designed to determine goals, devise a training plan (and reevaluate as needed), to teach your puppy how to be the best companion they can be! We work closely with you and your puppy and teach you how to be a training partner with your four legged companion.
​
Individual lessons are an hour in length. The first lesson is typically gathering information (history, training goals, expectations, setting up management, and potentially starting some training). Around 50 minutes, we start to finish up and allow for questions and other pertinent details.
​
Why only an hour?
Puppies will mentally tire out. As well as us humans can only focus on so many topics in a short amount of time and retain them.
​
Where do we meet?
Majority of our individual lessons are scheduled in your home. We do this because that is where the majority of concerns arise and well that is where our puppy/dog is spending a lot of time. We do offer to utilize our training building (that is used for group classes), or meet out in public to address any concerns there when we deem the dog is ready.
We do not just teach you how to interact with your puppy, but teach you both how to navigate through the everyday real life situations. We are able to focus on you and your puppy's needs and build in tools to successfully master these skills.
​
Just some of the few topics that can be addressed:
​
Basic Obedience
Build Confidence
Crate Training
Dog or Human Reactivity
House Manners
House Training
Impulse Control
Kids and Puppies
Leash Manners
New Adoption/Rescue

​
Typically you will be needing more than one lesson. We recommend once weekly training sessions, with no more than two weeks between so we do not fall behind on training. Package discounts are available, and packages are highly encouraged.
​
We use a gentle approach with scientific based training! We are advocates of positive reinforcement methods, as we feel that is the only way to partner with your dog. Because isn't that why we got a puppy in the first place?
