Not got time to attend class or just prefer some solo time?
Whilst my classes are always small groups, some puppies do, do better training alone (as do we!).
This 3-session private course gives you and your puppy the exact same core life skills taught in a group class—but on a 1-to-1 basis. It is completely customized to your pace and any specific questions you have, I am happy to answer whilst you're with me.
What We Cover In Your 3 Hours:
We'll cover the key skills covered in a Starters group class - for example:
-
Recall: How to get your puppy to run back to you the first time you call them, even at the park.
-
Loose-Lead Manners: The secrets to enjoyable, stress-free walks without your puppy pulling your arm off.
-
Real-World Focus: Teaching your puppy to listen to you and ignore distractions like people, bikes, and other dogs.
-
The Big Three Essentials: Perfecting the absolute basics: Sit, Down, and Stay, when it actually matters.
Some extra advantages of 1 to 1:
-
100% Focus on You: You have my exclusive time!
-
Real-Life Environments: We train where the problems actually happen—this is a great advantage when it comes to puppies.
-
Flexible Scheduling: No fixed weekly times. I can help book your 3 hours at times that fit around your busy schedule and budget.
