Why Private Dog Training is Great for Your Dog
Private lessons give your dog and family focused attention during each training session. One-on-one training allows the trainer to focus on the commands, handling skills, and behavior concerns that matter most to your daily routine.
Focused Attention
Private lessons give your dog direct guidance from a professional trainer without the distractions of a general class setting.
Owner Education
Owners learn how to handle their dog, practice commands, and reinforce expectations between training sessions.
Better Daily Behavior
Private training can help address leash pulling, jumping, barking, mouthing, chewing, poor recall, and lack of focus.
Clear Communication
Structured lessons help owners give clear commands so their dog understands what is expected.
Real-Life Progress
Because the training is tailored to your dog and routine, the skills can transfer more directly into everyday life.
Our Private Dog Training Services
Starter Training Program
The Starter Training program is a single private lesson priced at $375. It is designed for dog owners who want to understand the training methods before fully committing to a longer program. This session provides professional instruction and an introduction to how training works with your specific dog.
The Starter Training lesson includes:
- Professional one-on-one instruction
- Introduction to training methods and techniques
- An Off-Leash K9 Training e collar
- A 15-foot training leash
This option works well for owners who want to experience the training approach firsthand before moving forward with additional sessions.
The Basic Obedience Package includes four private lessons for $675. Each lesson is one hour long, and sessions are typically scheduled about a week apart to allow time for practice between lessons.
This program is for dogs 5 months or older. During the four training sessions, your dog will learn:
- Come on command
- Sit and extended sit
- Down and extended down
- Place and extended place
- Heel and loose leash walking
- Off to stop unwanted behaviors like jumping, mouthing, or counter surfing
The Basic Obedience Package includes an e collar and a training leash. Dog owners are expected to practice daily for about 30 minutes between lessons. This consistent reinforcement at home is what transforms training sessions into lasting obedience. Consistent practice between lessons helps dogs retain what they learn and gives owners the repetition needed to maintain obedience at home.
Puppy Orientation is a single private in-person session priced at $125. It is designed specifically for puppies under 5 months old who are too young for the full obedience program.
This session covers:
- Basic commands including come, sit, place, and down
- Confidence building exercises
- Socializing guidance
- House-breaking and potty training strategies
- Crate training techniques
- Reinforcing good behavior early
- Answering owner questions about the puppy and training journey
Starting training early with a new puppy helps prevent many behavioral issues from developing in the first place. Many behavioral problems in dogs stem from a lack of impulse control and predictability in their environment, which can lead to issues like jumping, chewing, and overexcitement.

Our Private Training Process
Step 1: Initial Assessment
The training journey begins with a free consultation lasting about 30 minutes. During this meeting, a professional trainer evaluates your dog’s current behavior, discusses your training goals, and learns about your lifestyle and daily routine. This assessment helps determine which program will be the right fit for your dog’s age, behavior, and your family’s needs.
Step 2: Customized Training Plan
Based on the consultation, the trainer can help recommend the program that best fits your dog’s age, behavior, and training goals. For programs that include equipment, owners receive the training tools listed with that package, such as an e-collar and training leash.
Step 3: Private Training Sessions
Training sessions are conducted one-on-one with a professional trainer. These sessions focus on teaching specific commands while also providing hands-on owner education. You learn not just what commands to use, but how to deliver them effectively and why certain approaches work. Training sessions focus on building obedience skills step by step, starting with core commands and progressing into duration, distance, and distraction control when included in the selected program. Depending on the program, dogs may work on commands such as Come, Sit, Down, Place, Heel, Off, loose leash walking, greeting manners, door manners, meal manners, and recall.
Step 4: Ongoing Support
After completing a board and train program, owners receive a one-on-one session to review what their dog learned and how to properly handle them at home. The 2-Week Board & Train includes free refreshers for life, giving owners additional support tied specifically to that program.
