Private Lessons - in Home Training

Our In-Home Private Lessons deliver personalized, one-on-one training right in the comfort of your home. Whether you choose our one-hour sessions to learn how to effectively train your dog yourself, or our popular Puppy Tutoring “Home School” packages where our certified trainers come to you and train your puppy directly, we tailor every program to your needs. For puppies ready for the next level, our advanced On-the-Town program takes training into real-world settings, with a trainer guiding your pup through practical skills in public environments. Behavior consultations for more difficult behavior challenges, such as anxiety and aggression, are also available by veterinary referral. All training is built on proven, positive reinforcement methods. With flexible options and expert guidance, we make it easy for you and your puppy to succeed together.
