Private Lessons
Puppies 2-4 Months Old
Individual Lesson= $65
4 Lesson Package= $240
Puppies are like sponges and learn incredibly fast. Being proactive and starting training early helps prevent problem behaviors before they appear and sets the foundation for a confident, well-adjusted pup. If your puppy is between 2–4 months old, I offer a discounted 4-lesson puppy package- the perfect way to get started.
Skills we can work on with your puppy: Crate training, sit, down, recall, place, leash manners, potty training, barking, biting, fair play, socialization and more.
Dogs 4 Months Old and Older
Individual Lesson= $90
Skills we can work on: Heel, sit, lay down, recall, place, reactivity to dogs/people/cats, separation anxiety, crate training and more.
Length: Each lesson is approximately 1 hour long.
Locations: Private Lessons are available in Qualicum Beach, Parksville, and Nanaimo.
Training is a commitment for both you and your dog, so it’s important to click with your trainer. The initial lesson is a chance for us to meet, chat about your goals and any challenges, and get started on training. The initial lesson tends to be 1 hour-1.5 hours long. By the end, we’ll figure out the best plan for you and your dog, together!
Initially, we will have lessons at locations that are familiar to your dog, such as your home and neighbourhood. It can be overwhelming for dogs to learn new skills so it’s best to start in an environment that is comfortable and has minimal distractions. When your dog has a good handle of the skills they learned, we will move on to having the lessons at different locations. This will give your dog a challenge and teach them to apply their skills in various environments. Your dog's training will progress to different locations only when your dog is ready.
