Why take private lessons?



Benefits of taking private lessons

  • You receive one on one attention assuring that you completely understand the skills being taught.
  • You are not bound by someone else's schedule and attend class when it is convenient for you.
  • You get to learn in the comfort of your own home. Field trips can be added once the skills you wish to learn are mastered at home. This will teach your dog to behave nicely even in distracting situations.
  • You do not have to miss a class due to travel, illness or other engagements.
  • Your session is custom tailored to fit your needs and is not a "one size fits all" group class.
  • Your dog aggressive dog is not a candidate for group class. Group lessons are not going to "cure" your dog aggressive dog. In fact, putting your dog aggressive dog into a group setting without addressing the underlying problem is likely to make the problem worse.
