What to Expect:
Private lessons are designed to give you the skills and confidence to guide your dog effectively in any situation you find yourselves in. We start in your home, where your dog feels most comfortable and can focus without overwhelming distractions. Once they’re responding reliably in that familiar environment, we gradually move training into more challenging settings to strengthen their skills in the real world.
This service is fully hands on, with you involved every step of the way. I can teach you a lot in an hour, but lasting progress comes from practicing what we work on together in your daily routine. Throughout each session, I walk you through practical, real time training strategies that improve communication, build trust, and reinforce positive behaviors.
I specialize in one-on-one lessons because they allow you to ask questions freely, receive personalized guidance, and build a direct connection with me as your trainer. Group classes can be helpful for some dogs, but they often lack the individualized attention needed to truly understand your dog’s unique needs and set them up for long term success.
