Sometimes, you may desire a little on-on-one training in your own home to correct unwanted behaviors or train desired behaviors. Many private lessons work to solve issues such as anxiety, barking, counter surfing, or bolting out of the home. We call them family manners. We strive to build behaviors that create a calm, safe, and happy household. Your trainer will need to know what issues you would like to work on and let you know what they will need from you. Private Training is $80 per hour. Contact us for more information and dates availability.
