let’s build skills together
Private Training gives you the knowledge, guidance, and hands-on coaching needed to build reliable behaviours and clear communication. Together, we'll create practical skills that fit naturally into your everyday life.
What to Expect
Every private session is tailored to your dog's individual needs and your goals. During your first lesson, we'll assess your dog's behaviour, discuss your concerns, and develop a training plan designed specifically for your lifestyle.
Training is designed to fit into your everyday routine, allowing us to address real-life challenges in the environments where they naturally occur. As your dog progresses, we'll continue to adjust the training plan to meet their evolving needs and your goals.
Each lesson includes hands-on coaching, practical exercises, and clear homework to help you continue making progress between sessions. We'll guide you every step of the way, helping you build the confidence to continue training long after each lesson ends.
Why Choose private training?
Reliable behaviour is built through consistency, practice, and clear communication. Private Training gives you the skills and confidence to work directly with your dog while receiving professional guidance every step of the way.
Because training takes place in your home and everyday environments, we can address real-life challenges where they actually occur. This helps your dog learn behaviours that naturally transfer into daily life.
Every lesson is tailored to your dog's temperament, current skills, and your training goals, allowing us to focus on what matters most to you.
Rather than simply training your dog, we teach you how to communicate effectively, solve problems confidently, and continue building on your dog's progress between sessions.
During Your training journey
Every dog and every owner learn differently, so each training plan is customized to your individual goals. Throughout your lessons, you can expect:
✓ Personalized coaching
✓ Hands-on instruction
✓ Practical exercises tailored to your goals
✓ Real-world training in everyday environments
✓ Homework between sessions
✓ Ongoing guidance and support
✓ Progress that builds from one lesson to the next

-
Every Private Training program is tailored to your dog's individual needs and your goals. Each lesson includes personalized coaching, practical exercises, homework, and ongoing guidance to help you build lasting results.
-
Before your first lesson, we'll let you know everything you need to prepare in advance. We'll provide guidance on what to bring, where we'll be training, and any other information needed to ensure you and your dog are ready for a successful first session.
-
Training is a collaborative process that continues between lessons. As your dog progresses, we'll adjust your training plan, provide new exercises, and support you every step of the way to help you achieve your goals.
-
Every dog learns differently, so our training approach is tailored to the individual dog and their goals. Depending on your dog's needs, we may recommend training tools such as slip leads, prong collars, or e-collars when appropriate. Any equipment recommendations will always be discussed with you beforehand, including why they're being recommended and how to use them safely and effectively.
-
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can take place in your home, your neighbourhood, or another agreed-upon location depending on your training goals. We choose environments that allow us to work on the behaviours and skills most relevant to your everyday life.
How long is each lesson?
Private sessions are approximately 60 minutes in length. This provides enough time to assess progress, introduce new skills, answer questions, and ensure you feel confident practicing between sessions.
How many sessions will my dog need?
The number of session depends on your dog's age, experience, behaviour, and training goals. After reviewing your free training assessment, we'll recommend the package we believe is the best fit. Additional sessions can always be added if you need continued guidance or support.
What training methods do you use?
Our training focuses on clear communication, consistency, and building reliable behaviours through structured learning. Every training plan is tailored to the individual dog and their goals.
Depending on your dog's needs, we may recommend tools such as slip leads, prong collars, or e-collars when appropriate.
What equipment will I need?
For your first session, bring the equipment your dog currently uses. As we assess your dog's needs and progress, we may recommend additional training equipment when appropriate. Any equipment changes will always be discussed with you beforehand, and we'll teach you how to use the equipment correctly as part of your dog's training plan.
What if I need to reschedule?
We understand that plans can change. If you need to reschedule your session, please let us know as soon as possible so we can arrange a new appointment. Our cancellation and rescheduling policy will be provided when you book your training.
Will I receive homework between sessions?
Yes. Every session includes practical homework designed to reinforce what you've learned and continue your dog's progress between sessions. Consistent practice at home is one of the most important factors in achieving reliable, lasting results.
