In-Home Private Lessons (most popular!)
Our most popular service, private lessons take place in the comfort of your own home. They last about an hour and a half and are completely customized to your needs. Private lessons are great for addressing:
-
Basic obedience commands (sit/stay, down/stay, come, heel, place) for dogs not ready for group class or requiring special attention
-
Behavior problems such as poor leash manners, reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, mouthiness, jumping up, barking, not listening, or other unwanted behavior
-
Preparing for a new dog or puppy in the household
-
Managing conflict in a multi-dog household
-
Teaching your dog how to leave your cat alone
-
Learning a clearer system of communication with your dog
-
Gaining a better understanding of how your dog thinks, why he does what he does, and how to get him to listen to you
There are two options for purchasing private lessons. The package discount is available for lessons paid for together as a package only.
Single 1.5-hr lesson - $299
(3) 1.5-hr lessons package - $749
Low-Level E-Collar Training (speciality service!)
Do you know someone with an ecollar trained dog that they can take anywhere and want the same for your dog, but without a pricey board & train? This program is for you!
In this highly effective hands-on course, you will actually experience improved relationship with your dog as you are expertly guided through the humane and gentle use of an ecollar (electronic collar) to provide a form of communication with your dog that is easier for him to tune into than mere verbal communication is. Combining this unique form of touch communication with tons of positive reinforcement provide a balance that respects your dog while slowly acclimating him to more consistent behavior, with the goal of off-leash reliability through distractions by the end of 6 lessons! Get ready to take your dog on those adventures!
This in-person program takes place within the comfort of your home and neighborhood and includes mastery of all the basic commands such as come, sit/stay, down/stay, heel, and place. In addition, every problem behavior under the sun can be worked through in this course, including human aggression, dog aggression, resource guarding, leash reactivity, overactive prey drive, fearfulness, separation anxiety, mouthing, house soiling, pulling on leash, counter surfing, distractibility and lack of general manners!
This program is ideal for people who are committed to working and learning with their dog to better the pet-owner relationship. Sessions are typically spaced a week or two apart and each session lasts 1-1.5 hours.
6-lesson program - $1399
Low-level e-collar set - $199
Virtual Dog Training (best value!)
Most of what we do is really training PEOPLE to get the behaviors they want from their dogs and that's exactly what you'll get out of these live video calls using either Zoom, FaceTime, or whatever platform works best for you. Working virtually enables me to offer one-on-one training at a lower price point, and we truly are able to work through just about any issue this way (even leash manners, reactivity, and aggression... yes, REALLY)!
I'll describe in detail what I want you to do, and will provide verbal guidance while watching you implement the techniques with your dog, the same as we would do in an in-person lesson. As needed, I will demo the techniques using one of my own dogs or client dogs in boarding.
We are currently offering virtual private lessons in the following options:
Single 1-hour virtual lesson - $225
Pkg. of (3) 1-hr virtual lessons - $600
Please know that our special low-level e-collar training program (described below) is now being offered in this virtual format as well and has shown similar success to the in-person version! This is a VERY unique opportunity for you to obtain this level of training at a much lower price!
6-lesson virtual program - $1100
Low-level e-collar set - $199
Phone Support (no waiting!)
If you just got a dog and need some advice ASAP or have an urgent issue you're dealing with such as sudden development of aggression and you simply cannot wait a month or more for a private lesson, this is the way to go. Most of our clients are extremely surprised at how much we can help them just over the phone! Maybe it just holds you over until we can work in person or perhaps you'd prefer weekly check ins until your problem is resolved. Either way, we've got your back! (Please note that unlimited free phone support is included for all in-person and virtual training clients. This paid service is for those not purchasing other training.)
30 min call - $100 (can be prorated for different lengths of time)
Board & Train (available on very limited basis - please inquire)
Board & Train is essentially a boot camp that takes place in our home (yes, our actual home, not a kennel facility). For dogs that need a behavioral overhaul and clients with little time for training, this may be the way to go! Please contact us for more details about this program, as it is completely customized for each client's specific needs. Board & Train is offered at a minimum duration of 3 weeks, although longer stays may be required depending on the dog and training needed. To insure your dog's continued success once he/she goes home, our Board & Train program includes 3 private sessions of after care!
**We only take two dogs at a time for Board & Train so space is very limited and often books months in advance.**
Board & Train (3 weeks) - $4,500
Additional weeks (per week) - $1,500
Low-level e-collar set - $199

Walking Manners Group Class
This class is for anyone whose dog pulls, barks, or doesn't have the best manners when walking near other dogs or people. It is also great for dogs that are shy or wary of other people or dogs, as well as those that are easily excitable.
This is entirely a standing and walking class so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and dress to be outside. The entire goal of this class is to help each dog practice self restraint and good walking manners around other dogs. The class does not involve physical interaction of dogs. The purpose is to teach your dog to see other dogs in a "neutral" way as opposed to something to become excited or worried about. All dogs are respected to progress through this class at their own pace. This class has a prerequisite of at least one private or virtual lesson with us prior to the class.
4 week class - $160
Next class day/time: Saturdays 1pm -2pm (Reactive dogs welcome!)
Next start date: 1/13/24
Location: West Hills, CA
