Initial Consultation & Behavioral Assessment

  • This is the first step to training a better-behaved dog. Lisa will meet with you and your dog for 75-90 minutes, conduct a detailed interview about your dog’s history and behavior, clarify your training goals, and assess your dog’s behavior. Based on this meeting, Lisa will design a training plan to efficiently and effectively teach your dog polite manners and/or modify problem behavior.

Follow-Up Training Sessions

  • After the Initial Consultation, Lisa will work with you and your dog privately in hour-long training sessions, and show you step-by-step easy and fun exercises to train your dog. After each training session, Lisa will provide you with detailed instructions for training exercises to work on with your dog between sessions.
  • Day Training available (see below)
  • Discounts available for dogs adopted from shelters and rescues

Day Training

No time to train your dog? Day training may be the solution for you. Lisa trains your dog for you leaving you more time for work, play and relaxation. After Lisa’s trained your dog, she shows you in a few easy steps how to maintain the behaviors she’s taught him. Some behaviors aren’t conducive to day training. Contact Lisa to see if day training’s right for you and your dog.

Benefits of Private Training

  • Personalized attention & expertise. You and your dog receive 100% of Lisa’s time & attention in each training session.
  • Training tailored to you & your dog. Lisa designs training plans to efficiently and effectively address your behavioral goals for your dog, his/her learning style and particular motivations.
  • Go at your own pace.
  • Convenience. Training sessions are scheduled at mutually convenient times. Lisa does her best to accommodate your schedule. Sessions are held in the comfort and privacy of your home, or “on location” as needed.
