Private Lessons

Private Lessons

  • Private lessons are tailored to you and your pet’s specific needs. From foundation behavior training to managing and solving problem behaviors, I work one on with you and your pet to tailor a specific plan. 
  • There is no age limit for private lessons. From puppyhood through adolescence, adults and seniors, clients with pets of all ages can take advantage of private lesson training.
  • Private lessons will include written instruction and video examples when available for your reference. Training summaries can be provided for veterinary reference and support upon request.

    Once booked my software will send you a confirmation email/text and also a reminder email/text the day before. If you need to make any last minute changes, please text my cell (provided in the confirmation email/text). For in-facility lessons, feel free to arrive early enough to potty your dog, but please do not enter any earlier than 5 minutes prior to your scheduled lesson as I may be working with another client or setting up for your lesson. For in-home lessons, on the day of our appointment I will text when I am on my way with an ETA (please allow a 10-15 min window for traffic / driving conditions) and I will also text when I arrive to avoid knocking / ringing the bell and getting any dogs worked up!

    Please have some treats available for our lesson. Something that your dog really enjoys but that can be consumed quickly. No dry, crunchy large treats! Think soft and stinky! We may also begin clicker training and I will provide you with a clicker and show you how to use it.

    *Aggression Cases* I may send you specific instructions on how to manage your pet for human directed aggression cases. It is imperative that you follow these specific instructions for my arrival. Failure to do so may result in a cancellation of your lesson.

    Please click here request an appointment. Please allow 24-48 hour business days (Monday – Friday) for me to review your questionnaire. If I have availability I will send you a link to book your appointment. If I do not have availability a referral list can be provided upon request.

    A 50% non refundable deposit reserves your initial consultation appointment. Balance is due at the time of your appointment.
