Our private dog training lesson is a personalized, one-on-one session designed to meet you and your dog exactly where you are.

Whether that’s basic obedience, leash manners, puppy foundations, confidence building, or behavior challenges at home.

Each session includes:

A quick assessment of your dog’s behavior, temperament, and learning style.
Clear instruction and hands-on coaching for both you and your dog.
Customized exercises tailored to your dog’s age, skill level, and environment
Real-time feedback and adjustments to ensure effective communication
Practical homework and guidance so progress continues between sessions

These lessons are ideal for owners who want focused attention, customized training plans, and real-world results in a calm, supportive setting. The goal is not just training your dog, but to empower you with the skills and confidence to succeed together.

Elite Home Training Session

Our Elite Home Training Session is a private, one-on-one lesson conducted in the comfort of your home, where real-life behaviors matter most. During this personalized session, a professional trainer works directly with you and your dog to address obedience, manners, and behavior challenges in your everyday environment. Each lesson is tailored to your dog’s needs and goals, with hands-on coaching, clear guidance, and practical exercises you can immediately apply.

This premium in-home experience is designed to create calm, reliable behavior, while strengthening the communication between you and your dog where it counts most, at home.

Fetch Foundation Skills

Our Fetch Foundation Skills Program is a specialized training experience designed to teach dogs how to reliably and enthusiastically play fetch. During your dog’s stay, our trainers focus on building the complete retrieve sequence, engaging with a toy, picking it up, returning to the handler, and releasing it on cue.

Training is tailored to your dog’s motivation, play style, whether they are toy-driven, need confidence building, or require help with holding and returning the object. Sessions emphasize clear communication, structured play, impulse control, and positive reinforcement to make fetch fun, purposeful, and consistent.

By the end of the program your dog will gain:

A clear understanding of how to retrieve and return.
Improve focus and engagement with their handler.
A reliable drop or release cue.
Increased confidence and enjoyment during play.

This program is perfect for dogs who love play, need a constructive outlet for energy, or benefit from fetch as both enrichment and exercise. Turning a simple game into a rewarding skill you can enjoy together at home.

Possession Games Training:

The Possession Games training program is designed to teach dogs how to engage with toys in a healthy, controlled, and cooperative way. This program focuses on building strong engagement and drive while also teaching clear rules around possession, sharing, and releasing on cue.

Through structured possession-based games, dogs learn when to take, how to hold, and most importantly, how to calmly and reliably give items back. Training sessions emphasize impulse control, confidence, and communication, turning high-energy play into a productive training tool rather than a source of conflict.

Possession Game helps:

Reduce possessive or pushy behavior around toys.
Improve reliable “drop”, “out”, and release cues.
Build engagement without overstimulation.
Strengthen trust and teamwork between dog and handler.

This program is ideal for dogs who love possession games, struggle with giving items back, or need structured outlets for their drive while transforming playtime into a balanced, rewarding experience for both dog and owner.
