FOR YOUR DOG:

Following your 90 minute consultation, your trainer will come to your home twice per week for 2 weeks (preferable Tues & Thurs or Wed & Fri) in a one-on-one session with your dog.  Your trainer will spend 1 hour with your pup each session, working on the skills needed to achieve the goals you’ve set in your consultation.


FOR YOU:

Each session will have a review and an enrichment activity at the end.  Report cards, handouts, and videos will be sent to owner each week.  It’s important that you are a part of your dog’s progress so there will be an owner’s session of review exercises for 60 minutes.

​

FULLY CUSTOMIZED CURRICULUM:

Your Home School program is 100% personalized to your training goals and your dog’s unique learning needs.

​

CERTIFIED COACHES:

Your dog will learn from a professional, insured, certified dog trainer by using training methods based on Positive Reinforcement methods.  This method teaches dogs what we want them to do by repeating behavior that is reinforced by giving your dog treats, toys, praise, or something else they like. NO punishment or adverse tools used.

​

Some Pros to being home schooled:

  • Prevention for those early unwanted puppy behaviors and habits.

  • Your training schedule is much more flexible, allowing you to work around your busy life.

  • Tailored to fit your specific training goals rather than the group class generalized curriculum.

  • Address specific unwanted behaviors.

  • Dogs that are easily distracted or reactive in a group setting, training at home can be the perfect place to start before transitioning into a group class.

 

Some Cons to being home schooled:

  • Another disadvantage is that your dog is not learning to listen to you outside of the home where distractions abound.

  • You miss out on shared learning from a group class from other dogs and parents asking questions and seeing their interactions.
