Students often ask, “should we do private lessons or a group?” The truth is, a combination of the two is often the best choice. Your group course can be a great, cost effective way for friendly, well-adjusted dogs to get an introduction to the basic safety cues and manners all dogs need when they live around humans, and provide an evnironment of controlled distractions in which to work.

However, dogs (and their people) often have individual needs that can’t adequately be addressed in a group class. In fact, it’s usually more useful to trouble shoot such concerns in the environment where the trouble is happening.

“How do I keep my dog from stealing stuff from the counter?”
“How do I teach my dog to behave nicely around my cat (or other resident pets)?”
“How do I prepare my dog for our baby’s arrival?”
“How do I teach my dog not to knock over small children and steal their stuff?”
“How do I teach my dog only to pee in a certain section of the yard?”
“How do I teach my dog not to bark when people and dogs pass by our home.”

In addition, sometimes a human benefits from additional one on one coaching with material covered in school. Need extra help with teaching Cues at a Distance, Magic Mat or Heel? Try a private session.
