There are no group classes during December and January but I offer private lessons year round (see below).

* PUPPY PACKAGE *

Puppy Preschool comes to you. Private lessons, in your home, scheduled at your convenience. Instead of going to a group class, we bring the training to you. Four private lessons conducted in your home you'll learn the same things as puppy preschool. Available for puppies from 6 weeks up to 6 months old. If your puppy is 6 months or older please consider or classes or private lessons.
Only $280 for four lessons.

* PRIVATE LESSONS *

There are many reasons why private lessons or behavioural consultations would be suitable for you and your dog:

* Your dog has problem behaviours that you need help with (fear or anxiety; barking; unsuitable reactions to other dogs, people or objects; resource guarding; defending food or toys; etc).
* Your dog is not comfortable near other dogs.
* You have specific skills that you want to teach your dog that aren't covered in class.
* Private lessons are a more efficient use of your time because you and your dog get individual attention and can learn more in a shorter period of time.
* Your schedule doesn't allow you to attend classes.
* You appreciate the convenience of lessons at home instead of driving to classes.
* There are no suitable classes near you.
* Group classes aren't available during the summer.

Private lessons are $95 for the first lesson then $70 for any addition lessons (or 4 lessons for $280). All lessons are one hour. Unlike group lessons, I focus on your specific requirements. I'll give you printed handouts covering the topics which we cover in the lesson. I can book you in for a private lesson on any day of the week between 9: 00 AM and 6: 00 PM.
