Private Training

Private training sessions are designed primarily for dogs with no social or aggression issues. Sessions are generally 1 hour long but length is variable. Each session will focus on obedience, problem solving, and teaching you to work with your dog. In a private session, Lorna will work with your dog to establish a strong foundation in engagement, communication, and command structure, while Patrick will work with you to address any behavioral issues at home. Once your dog is showing consistency with Lorna, Patrick will work with you to teach you how to keep your dog behaving the way you need and advancing the dogs training as far as it can go in the time you give us.

Dogs with social or aggression issues may not be accepted into private training.
