The program
Private Lessons
$995–$2,795 typical
Weekly, in your home. Usually five to fifteen lessons.
Smaller and larger packages are available on a case-by-case basis.
Your dog learns obedience commands, and you learn to polish and reinforce them. You do your homework (a few 5–10 minute sessions daily, no big deal!) during training and for several weeks after. We’ll come up with solutions for your dog’s behavior issues and you’ll implement them between lessons, then we’ll check in periodically and tweak as needed. Morning, afternoon, evening and weekend appointments are available.
My training focuses on obedience, manners, and everyday behavior problems. For dogs with aggression or a bite history, a specialized dog trainer or behaviorist is the right fit, and I’d recommend starting there.
What your dog will learn
- sit-stay
- down-stay
- recall - coming when called
- loose leash walking
- heeling with automatic sit
- place (go to your bed)
- boundary training at doors and gates
- We’ll work through as many of these as your program length allows - more sessions, more skills!

- excessive barking
- play biting

All dog training programs require owner participation. You must be willing to dedicate time to training your dog! All family members are encouraged to participate… kids are welcome, and they'll be assigned special training tasks based on their age, abilities and level of interest.
