PRIVATE TRAINING OVERVIEW
​

PictureGrady and Riley
​Private Sessions can be helpful for new puppies, general training, or problem solving.  We are available by appointment on certain weekdays, weeknights and weekends.
 
Every situation is unique.  Every dog is different, and every lifestyle is different, and we take that into consideration when we am working with your family and your dog.
 
Training your dog takes time and patience.  Multiple sessions will be needed to address various issues/concerns, and to follow up on previously learned skills.
​
​At the first session we will ask specific questions about your dog, explain how dogs think, learn and communicate, and show you how to work with your dog.  We will address your main issues first.  Keep in mind that there may be some foundational issues that need to be corrected, which in turn, will help your main issues.  
​
We will demonstrate the necessary skills, have you perform them with your dog, and it will be up to you to practice them.  After each lesson, we will recommend a plan for follow up lessons to meet your goals. 
 
Since every situation is different, we believe in flexibility to accommodate your specific training needs. 
​Many owners combine both private and group training.  We are here to help you any way we can!

Dogs and Goats!  

This was a very fun in-home visit with Sandy, her dog, Bowie and her two goats  Bowie was fixated on the goats and was constantly chasing them and barking at them.  Of course!  Why not???  Goats are to be herded right???

With patience and rewarding the appropriate behavior, we were able to help Bowie relax around the goats, which made for much happier goats (and Sandy!)

Meet Bella!  

She is a sweetie and she will make you laugh and smile!  She is a rescued Pit Bull who lives with a family in Lansdale.

She is this family's first dog and they were very happy to gain a better understanding of how dogs think and learn, and how easy it was to teach Bella what they expected of her.  Bella is very smart, and picked up on new information quickly.  

​
They also learned that meeting Bella's needs made a huge improvement in her behavior all around.

In Home Puppy Consult

Meet Jose and his beautiful Golden puppy April!  She is a lovable teddy bear!

April lives with a family in Upper Gwynedd who are first time dog owners.  We discussed how to create good habits with April now, so bad habits don't have to be broken later.  

At the last report, Jose was very pleased with how she was progressing.

Mark, Gail and their dog Doc!

Doc is a bold, sturdy, confident little dog who learns fast and loves to chase tennis balls!

We met with them many times at their home, first to build a foundation and then to progress into more advanced training.  

They were happy to learn that being patient and waiting for him to perform the expected behavior really paid off.
