Private Training

-- Not accepting new students --

To ensure that we have dedicated training time together, we are not accepting new students as our schedule is currently full.  Please check back soon for more availability. 

Some dogs learn better training one-on-one. Enjoy training customized to your unique training needs. Diana's private training classes are held using Zoom video or limited in-person outdoor training. With our Private Training, we focus on specific skills and progress at your dog's pace. 

Skills we train:

  • Politely greeting people in your home and on your walks together 
  • Loose-leash walking by distractions such as other dogs and people
  • Consistent housetraining 
  • Reliable recalls
  • Dog sports (competitive obedience skills for Rally, Canine Good Citizen, Therapy Dog, and Trick Dog)

Areas we serve

  • In-person private training classes (with precautions) are offered in Northwest King County (Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Woodinville, Duvall, Sammamish, Issaquah, and Seattle). 
  • Zoom video classes allow students from any location to train with us!

What is included in our private classes?

Initial Private class

Our first class meets live using Zoom video from the comfort of your home.  You will receive a recording of our class that students find helpful to rewatch and share with family members.


Your own Dropbox folder will be filled with training handouts, a storage area for all our training videos, and space for you to upload videos of your dog for training feedback.


After our classes, you receive a detailed email with your dog's training plan and links to demonstration videos.
