Private Coaching 
Have you tried other training techniques or classes without success? or tried to do it yourself at home watching youtube only to end up more confused than where you started? Then our private coaching programs are the solution you have been looking for.
We balance private in your home training with training in the real world outdoors to successfully work on any goals, or issues, you are having and set you and your dog up for a lifetime of success. Our goal is to get you to YOUR GOAL. You’ll quickly see our level of passion and knowledge about dog behaviour is the thing you’ve been searching for!
We are not going to sugar coat it though, YOUR participation in the training plays the most critical role in your results- be prepared to do (reasonable) amounts of daily training homework to achieve success with your dog.
Expect Homework to practice and changes to be made to your dogs routine and lifestyle.
Puppy Training (for puppies 5 months and younger):
In home training lessons specifically designed for young puppies under 6 months old. We cover EVERYTHING you need to know about your new puppy. From socialization, potty training, crate training, nipping, jumping, and chewing, to introducing some basic obedience commands
Learn what your top priorities should be with your new puppy, and what can wait for later. Avoid common mistakes and future behavioural issues by gaining a better understanding of your puppy. Get your pen and paper ready for lots of helpful advise!
All of this in the comfort of your own home…. can it get any better?! Well, actually yes it can.
