This is the most popular package and suits all ages and breeds. Private lessons help you achieve all the things group classes simply can’t—individualized, customized plans with undivided attention. Group classes have their benefits, but if you’re really looking to dial in on your goals for you and your dog without cookie cutter plans, one-on-one training is what’s needed.
Positive reinforcement (R+) training addresses specific needs and enhances your dog's quality of life through confidence, enrichment, and overall well-being. Training is never meant to suppress, dominate, or control your dog—training should enhance their personality and unlock their full potential. Positive reinforcement training involves high value treat rewards, positive verbal praise, and positive verbal praise. There are no aversive methods (such as e-collars, choke chains, physical correction, etc.) utilized at any time for training.
