Expert Personal Training
Our in-person day-training “personal trainer” program is perfect for the busy professional or family who would prefer expert training over instruction, producing a well-trained dog quickly and without interrupting your busy schedule.
Expert Personal Training starts with an Evaluation session (via secured Zoom meeting) in which we discuss your training goals for your dog, which I can then use to determine the number of weeks needed to achieve those goals. I will demonstrate some of the methods I will use and recommend management techniques that you can implement at home for immediate relief and improvement.
I will then work with your dog one-on-one for three to four sessions a week. After each meeting with your dog I leave you a report explaining your dog’s progress, and I will meet with you regularly to show you your dog’s progress and teach you how to maintain it. I only take a few clients at a time so that I devote my time and considerable experience, knowledge, and skills to you.
Who Should Do Personal Training?
This is ideal for rowdy adolescent dogs who desperately need more exercise but have no leash manners, for “pandemic pups” who missed out on some socialization or opportunities for group classes, for young puppies who need prompt instruction during their formative weeks, for dogs with behavior issues that make it difficult to work with them in public, and for anyone who wants exceptional professional training. By working independently with your dog, I can utilize my years of experience to analyze, evaluate and implement a training program that is right for your pet. Then all you need to learn is how to maintain the training once your dog already knows his part. This is like board-and-train without sending your dog away. You get expert training and a well-behaved dog, and your dog will enjoy it, too!
This is excellent for dogs who need leash manners and a new attitude towards people, dogs, cars, squirrels and more that they encounter in the world; we can also work on recalls and relax on a mat. This is not appropriate (at this time) for reactivity to guests or members in your home, manners during meals, inappropriate behavior to other pets in your house, and other in-home behavior issues.
