Why Private Training

Certainly both private lessons and group classes have their place. I have taught thousands of students in classroom situations and most of them have gotten started getting their dogs under control.

I have switched my focus to private in home training because:

private lessons give the dog owner 100% of the instructors attention

the curriculum can be tailored to the needs of the owner and dog

the time frame expectations are under the control of the dog owner, not the trainer’s class schedule

you can practice a little and progress a little, or practice a lot and progress a lot. It’s up to you

the training can start with minimal distraction which sets-up both dog and owner for success

your lessons are schedule on an as needed/as your ready basis

you won’t miss important training because you have a class conflict

individual problems can be solved with less stress, and no embarrassment

it’s a less stressful way to start training for many dogs and owners

distractions can be introduced WHEN the dog is ready

home-based visits to help you train your dog are just a phone call or email away
