Private Training

The Foundation Session: What to Expect

Our journey begins with a 90-minute online session designed to create a calm, focused environment for both you and your dog.

Session Format

• Initial Assessment: We’ll discuss your dog’s history and observe their behavior in the place they feel safest.
• Strategic Planning: We’ll identify the root of the behavior and set clear, achievable milestones.
• Personalized Roadmap: You’ll receive a custom plan tailored to your dog’s specific needs and your lifestyle.

Why Start Online?

• Low-Stress Environment: Your dog remains relaxed at home, preventing "big feelings" triggered by a new person entering their space.
• Focused Learning: Without the distraction of managing your dog’s reaction to a visitor, we can focus entirely on strategy and technique.
• Permanent Reference: The session is recorded, allowing you to revisit the discussion and specific cues whenever you need a refresher.
• Solid Foundation: This session ensures you are fully prepared and confident before we move into follow-up training.
