Private Classes

Specialized Canine Tutoring just for You

Private lessons require a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel otherwise lesson fees will be retained.

If you have a tricky schedule that doesn’t allow you to join a group class or you simply prefer having your own personal coach, private training allows us to focus on your specific goals and needs. From teaching your dog to walk on a loose leash and not jump on guests when they arrive to introducing a new puppy to your home, we can help.

Topics covered in Private Training include:

  • Preparing your home for a new puppy
  • How to properly socialize, exercise and train your new puppy
  • Loose leash walking
  • Foundation obedience – sit, down, come, stay, leave-it and more
  • Advanced obedience – responding to commands in distracting environments
  • Off leash training
  • Crate training
  • Door manners
  • Trick training
  • And more

*Note: If your dog has more complex issues like aggression, fear, inability to be handled to by people, etc., Behavioural Counselling rates will apply.
