Private Training

Private training is available for any level of training. Individualized training is very beneficial for those who need assistance with
dogs that have behavioral problems as well as obedience and manners skills.

Private training is available by appointment only, and normally takes place at the client's residence. Private training is tailored to the individual needs of the client. The number of sessions needed to achieve the desired behavioral changes depends on things such as;
dogs temperament, handler experience, amount of time devoted to training, etc. Private training can be scheduled to accommodate
these variables, making it easier for anyone to have success with their individual training program.

Schedule
• By Appointment Only
• $45 per session (plus mileage if applicable)
