Private Training 

Sometimes private training is the best option for addressing a behavior problem with your dog. For example, if your dog is fearful or aggressive, putting her directly into a class might make the problem worse. Also, some problems (e.g. housebreaking, digging) occur primarily at home, making training elsewhere impractical. Finally, private training offers the advantage of individual attention and focus on the specific issues you are facing.

Typically, I make a “house call” for the private training session, which generally lasts about an hour and includes written instructions. The fee for this service is $100/hour (a travel fee may be added depending on location). For most people, a single session is enough to get started and then I suggest a follow up with a class for more practice in a challenging environment.
