One-on-One Training Options
Training is an investment and meeting your training goals should be FUN!
During our one on one training sessions, we typically work with our clients in one of the following ways listed below. We always start with an initial session to ensure we’re a good fit. During the initial session we get to know you and your dog, confirm your training goals, develop a plan to help you manage unwanted behaviors, and recommend the best way to move forward to meet those goals.
