Private Dog Training Lessons

Some owners want to be the one holding the leash, literally. Private lessons put you and your dog one-on-one with a trainer, away from the noise of a class, so you learn exactly how to communicate with your own dog.

How Private Lessons Work

• One focused hour each week with your trainer
• We come to the problem. Meet at our Cicero facility, at your home, at a local park, or at the spot where your dog struggles most.
• Homework you can actually do. Short daily practice that fits into walks, mealtimes and the doorbell

Built Around Your Household

A family with toddlers and a jumpy lab needs something different than a retiree with a reactive terrier. We design each lesson plan around your home, your routine and your goals. Then we practice in real situations, like greeting guests, loading into the car or passing another dog, so the training sticks where it counts.

Who Should Choose Private Lessons?

Hands-on owners, families who want everyone to learn the same cues, and owners of dogs with specific or unusual problems. Private lessons are also where most puppy training begins. Not sure? We’ll help you decide at your free evaluation.
