1:1 Private Training

Private lessons are perfect for owners who want focused, one-on-one coaching tailored to their dog’s specific needs. Sessions can take place at our location in Mount Vernon (and future training facilities), in your home, or at a public location such as a park or pet-friendly store.

During private lessons, we work on the goals that matter most to you and your dog. This can include:

  • Walking politely on leash (no pulling, no reactivity)

  • Recall (coming when called)

  • Building neutrality around dogs, people, and distractions

  • Confidence-building and nurturing healthy pack drive

  • Counterconditioning to household appliances, cars, grooming, and vet visits

  • Addressing common issues such as jumping, mouthing, counter-surfing, crate anxiety, barking, or demand behaviors

  • Developing impulse control and calmness in everyday life

  • Establishing structure and routines that help your dog thrive

    Please note: For the safety of our team, we are currently not accepting cases involving aggression or severe resource guarding. These services will be available starting in 2026.
