Woof, it’s different than Private Behavior Counseling

Jump to Fees

Private Training (PT) is different from Private Counseling (PC). PT is designed for puppies, adolescents and some newly adopted dogs who need Socialization and Manners (SAM) and dog parents who need guidance. It is beneficial for people with challenges and/or those who are busy and can afford PT. PT lasts for 6, 1-hour sessions that includes personalized and customized teaching, hand-outs and follow-up.

Private Counseling (PC) is designed for dogs who have ingrained, habitual and/or reactive behavior issues that need resolution / change / modification. It may take 2 -4 sessions or a 1-year commitment.

Semi-Private Training (SPT) gives two dog teams (one handler, one dog) an opportunity to share the cost of private training sessions. Sessions are for 4 or 6 -weeks / 45-minutes per session.

4-weeks is $40 each per week = $160 each team. 6-weeks is $240 each team.

Classes are encouraged because puppies need socialization to get use to the world’s sights, sounds and smells. Continued socialization for adolescents and adult dogs can prevent a bucket of reactive behaviors like lunging, barking at unfamiliar stimuli, fear, stress and need for energy balancing.

Private Basic Training (Level 1, 2 or 3) are designed for the person / family unable to attend group class or prefer individual, personalized attention. An essential part of any dog's well-being and training is desensitization and socialization to other dogs, sights, sounds and smells. Dog parents are expected to provide this to develop a confident, reliable relationship with their dogs in and out of class session.

Private Training offers individualized attention. The learning experience is focused, personal and with fewer distractions than a group class. The same user / dog-friendly training is captured in 1-hour sessions at the training sanctuary or in your home.

There is a commitment / agreement required to attend 6-sessions to provide continuity for the puppy- dog's learning experience. Owners are required to practice each week on home work assignments.

In-home private basic training is designed for those who cannot leave home, job or organization for group classes. Sessions are scheduled every week or every other week, unless otherwise negotiated.

There is no refund for private in-sanctuary or on-site private training after the first session. The guarantee you receive is the expertise of an experienced, certified professional trainer / board certified counselor – in collaboration with your Veterinarian - and commitment to practicing change for you and your dog’s well-being.
