Private In-Home Training
SINGLE SESSION BEHAVIOR OR SKILLS TRAINING:
- Schedule your session on an "as needed" basis to work on behavioral issues or teach some new skills.
- Great for just getting started with potty training or skills for a puppy or new rescue.
- Some dogs can be overly stressed in a group setting or not show the unwanted behavior when in public. Therefore, in-home sessions can be the most beneficial way to really help the dog fully achieve his/her true potential.
2-SESSION BEHAVIOR WORKSHOPS:
- Leash Walking Workshop - Your first session is 1 hour and includes fundamentals and skills training. Second session is half hour and takes the skills farther down the road.
- Jumping up on Guests Workshop - Your first session is 1 hour and includes teaching opposing behaviors and creating a management program. Second session is half hour and works with greetings and proofing the behavior.
MULTI-SESSION COMPLETE BASIC SKILLS TRAINING:
- Complete Basic Skills Training is 3 90-minute sessions and includes: Automatic Sit, Stay in Place, Come when called, Lie Down, Go to your mat and Leash Walking. All sessions are 90 minutes and done in your home. Some behavioral issues will also be addressed.
- Private sessions are done in your home where most of the behaviors and problems occur.
- The whole family can be involved and we will customize the program to fit your family's specific needs! We are relaxed and fun so no need to clean the house.
- In-home training sessions are great for multiple dog homes. Prices are done on a 'per-session' basis, not per dog.
