Private Tutoring $125 Hr.
Sometimes a dog just needs a little extra focus. Private Tutoring is designed for pups who have completed Level 1 and 2 but may need help refining a specific skill, working through an individual challenge, or simply benefitting from one-on-one time with a trainer.
This program is perfect for dogs who are:
-
Struggling to master one command or behavior
-
Developing new issues such as resource guarding
-
Adjusting to changes like a new pet, baby, or household routine
-
In need of extra focus and confidence-building outside of group settings
With personalized attention, we’ll tackle one skill or challenge at a time, creating clear progress and lasting results that fit your dog’s unique needs.

Ruffresher Course $105
Recommended once a year (or anytime it’s needed), this quick class helps your dog tune back into their training and strengthen muscle memory. It’s especially handy after long breaks, vacations, or when a well-meaning pet sitter has “spoiled” your pup a little too much and those commands seem to have been conveniently forgotten.
With a focus on reestablishing consistency, we’ll review the essentials, sharpen responsiveness, and bring your dog back up to speed so they can continue being the well-mannered companion you’ve worked so hard to shape. Includes one full day of daycare.
Every program begins with an Initial Meet & Greet. This free one-on-one session gives us the chance to get to know you and your dog, talk through your challenges, and identify any behavioral concerns. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to set you and your pup up for success.
