Private Training
1-on-1 sessions in the comfort of your home.
Private training sessions offer personalized coaching for you & your dog. Whether you have a new puppy, recent rescue, or simply want to better your relationship with your best four-legged friend, all training programs are designed with your dog's age, breed, temperament & energy level in mind, using a fun, holistic approach that works with your lifestyle. Through working closely with a certified, positive reinforcement trainer, you will gain valuable skills & a deeper understanding of your dog's behavior. Based in Los Angeles.
Basic obedience – Teach your dog new cues such as sit, down, heel (loose leash walking), wait, stay, come, leave it, drop it, using reward-based positive training methods. Puppy & basic obedience sessions focus on proactive training to foster kind, effective communication with your dog & prevent behavioral problems from occurring in the first place. Build a foundation at home & learn to work with distractions outdoors. Advanced training geared towards AKC Canine Good Citizen available.
Puppy training – Private sessions for puppies from eight weeks to six months focus on teaching you best training practices & providing positive new experiences for your pup! Puppy sessions take a proactive approach to potty training, socialization, basic obedience training & more, to set your pup up for a lifetime of success.
Behavior modification – Reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, barking, jumping up, leash pulling, impulse control, fearfulness, resource guarding, etc. Behavioral problems can feel frustrating & overwhelming. These sessions are designed to give you immediate relief with simple exercises that meet your dog where they're at. Behavior modification sessions include management options & support while we work through a custom training plan that resolves the underlying causes of unwanted behavior. We may work together with your vet or vet behaviorist to implement a whole dog training plan that meets your dog's physical & emotional needs. 100% force-free positive reinforcement training as always. Contact me to schedule a complimentary phone consultation to discuss your needs!
* Prices are for 1 dog. Add $25 per session for each additional dog in a multi-dog household. A travel fee may apply outside of the Los Angeles service area.
