Private Puppy Lessons
Private puppy obedience lessons offer the flexibility to schedule when it works for you and your family, with all of the benefits of having one-on-one time with your trainer. We can help get your relationship with your puppy started on the right paw, address common puppy behaviors and concerns, and teach you basic commands to practice at home!
Bonus: Puppies that train with us (and their families) get to skip the waitlist for becoming boarding & daycare clients!
Private lessons cost $100 per 1 hour lesson and are typically scheduled 1 week apart or more. In just 4 lessons your puppy can learn these foundational commands, using a reward-only training system:
- Recall (Come or Here)
- Sit (and Stay in the Sit until released)
- Down (and Stay in the Down until released)
- Place (come to you and Sit on an object, stay in the Place until released)
- Heel (stay at your side with a loose leash)
- Off (to stop any unwanted behaviors)
Small Group Puppy Classes
Our small group classes meet one hour per week for 6 weeks, typically on Monday or Thursday evenings. At class your puppy socializes with up to 5 other puppies and their families, guest dogs and new environments! We practice basic commands like come, sit, place, heel and down along with manners and confidence building skills!
Bonus: Puppies that train with us (and their families) get to skip the waitlist for becoming boarding & daycare clients!
Each session will build off of the prior week’s course, giving puppies and owners a wealth of information and skills related to leadership, puppy behavior, obedience, confidence building, wellness/first aid and of course, socialization with other puppies and humans in group play!
