Private Lessons
Personalized, 1 on 1 Coaching to meet your training goals
-
Session Zero
Training the dog is only half the picture. The other half includes management, prevention, enrichment, and setting your environment up for success. It means setting goals and making a plan from the human end of the leash to know what behaviors we’re training for and why. Whether you’re just in need of a plan, are looking to decide what classes to take or services to make use of, or know you’ll want to move onto more in-person, private coaching: start here.
Session Zero includes:
75-minute virtual consultation discussing the behavior challenges you’re experiencing and coming up with plans, management, and behaviors that will fit your life and your family.
Guild Hall Access and “Roll Initiative” Orientation: Our private client portal with resources, orientation courses and lots of go-to information on setting your training sessions up for success.
Your dog’s own personalized webpage with written follow up plan with instructions and resources on implementation, suggestions for further training, and invitation to our private Facebook community.

Privates are available on weekday evenings EST. Generally speaking privates book anywhere from two-six weeks in advance, depending on the time of year.
I highly recommend plotting out and booking multiple privates at one time, as this allows for better planning for your practice and generally more accountability and results as you progress!

Text me! I’ll keep in touch using WhatsApp between sessions and am happy to answer basic questions or take a look at quick videos.
If something is more complex, I may offer a quick management solution and suggest we save a larger topic for our next session, but ultimately regular contact is exactly what subscription packages are made for!

Your dog and a lot of energy!
You’ll also want to have your dog on a secure leash and collar or harness, something you typically use and feels comfortable for you. If your dog is a flight risk or may be nervous, I highly recommend a martingale (also known as a limited slip) collar for safety.
Please note, if what feels secure for you is a prong or e collar, that is perfectly fine. I don’t train using aversive tools, and we will not be correcting the dog as part of our training session, but training can only progress if you feel safe and comfortable.
Have with you lots of high value treats and ideally a variety of them - this is the time to break out the cheese and meatballs and freeze dried or raw goodies. We want training to be as rewarding and fun as possible - 45 minutes is a long time to ask for your dog’s attention, and it’s our job to make every minute of it worthwhile.
Ideally, a way to secure your dog. If we are working in your home, make sure there is space to put the dog away for a moment if we need a reset. If we are working in a neutral space, be sure your dog can be secured comfortably in your car (ideally in a crate). If you need crating space, let me know and I can be sure to leave crate space open in my vehicle.

These subscriptions (or sessions for those topics that can be purchased per session) include purely virtual work. They can be used to supplement another training package or entirely on their own.
You send over videos of training or behavior moments for me to review, I’ll review and add feedback directly to the video, and then we meet weekly virtually to troubleshoot and discuss, after which I will review a homework video! All your videos will be uploaded to a personalized webpage to track your progress.

I’ll be using Whats App to communicate with clients beginning in 2025. While I’ve used Marco Polo and Google Voice in the past, changes in needs and functionalities have led me to wanting to streamline things a bit more with familiar software.
WhatsApp allows me to keep everything you send me in one spot and easily download videos so they can be showcased on your website as well as on social media.
