In Home Dog Training
Keep your dogs' training current and FUN!

Your dog is trained in your home during the week, perhaps while you are away at work, then we meet for a guardian session where you learn what is needed to maintain the dog's training. Topics can include but are not limited to:

• Addressing your individual dog behavior issues (barking, jumping, aggression, digging, etc)
• Pulling on leash
• Training (Come, Wait, Leave It, Drop It, Sit, Down, Stand)
• Incorporating training into your daily life
• Behaving inside the house
• Meal time manners
• Teaching your dog to be ‘calm’

This package is customized to deal with your individual dog issues and will differ from person to person.

Private sessions are available for $60 per hour or a package of five lessons per week for $250. An additional fee of $25 per dog will be charged for multiple dog households.
