Online
Training
Do you want your dog to listen to you and behave politely at home and in public? Enjoy private, one-on-one lessons in the convenience of your home, remotely online.
Taught by a board-certified behaviorist and trainer with 25 years of professional experience and post-graduate degrees in animal behavior.
Online training can be just as effective as in-person training, and you don’t have to be high-tech to do it or register with Zoom. I send you a link, you just click, and you’re there.
You set up your computer so that the camera captures a room, say your living room, and I can see you, family members and your dog or cat. I do the same so that you can see me and my dog or cat, who I’ll demonstrate with. So after explaining a particular skill, I demo, and then coach you as you practice.
Depending on your needs, we can cover:
- House soiling
- Destructive behavior: “stealing,” chewing or digging
- RJM — rowdy jumpy, mouthy and rough play with pets or children
- Polite greetings with people on walks or visitors at home
- Counter-surfing and garbage raiding
- Crate and confinement training
- Car training
- Attention & listening skills
- Sit, down, stay
- Reliable recalls (come when called), indoors and outdoors
- Door & gate manners (to prevent door dashing & escaping)
- Settle (down-stay) and relaxation training
- Impulse control and household manners (sit-to-say-please)
- Drop it and leave it
- Gentle mouth training
- Leash manners and heeling
- Quiet Training
- Up & Off
- Fun, practical tricks like twist & turn, back up, retrieve, close the door, take a bow
Key Advantages of Private Training
- You enjoy personalized training and coaching instead of a prewritten, one-size-fits all curriculum.
- Lesson plans are tailored to your goals, focused on the activities you want to enjoy with your dog, and adapted to your and your dog’s current skill level.
- Flexible lesson plans allow us to address specific behavior problems that group classes don’t have time for and aren’t designed for.
- Training in your dog’s home and neighborhood boosts training success because it’s where your dog is most comfortable and where the problems occur.
- With personalized lessons, you’re more likely to stay committed and achieve the best results.
- Some people feel self-conscious about learning in a group. Others feel embarrassed by their dog’s behavior. Private training avoids most self-consciousness and embarrassment.
