private dog trainer to focus on your dog obedience training

Private sessions working on specific issues

Flexible Schedules
A private dog trainer can generally be arranged at a mutually agreeable time for you and the trainer. At the pre-arranged time, you travel to the trainer’s location where the trainer can work one on one with you and your dog.

Unlike group classes, with private dog training , you are not locked into a specific time for your classes. The most easily found group classes are run on a part-time basis. This means that you often have only a few class times to choose from. If your schedule is busy with work, kids, and/or home responsibilities, your schedule might not match up with the group classes schedule. By scheduling private dog obedience training classes, you can usually find a time that is mutually convenient for both you and the trainer.


Customized Training Plan
Group classes generally only cover the most common commands that every dog needs to learn. If your dog has a particular issue, you have to hope that it is common enough to be covered in a group class. If not, your dog will have to go without.

Private classes can be customized to your and your dog’s special needs. Classes can cover those lessons your dog needs to learn and skip those lessons your dog already knows or are not applicable to your situation. For example, if your dog knows the basic commands like sit, and stay, the trainer can skip those commands. If your dog, on the other hand, has some behavioural issues, like barking, jumping, biting, or aggressiveness with other dogs, a training plan can be customized to specifically address those unique issues.


Minimize Distractions
Any student can be distracted by the disruptive behaviour of another student. This is true with people and with dogs. Regardless of whether your dog is easily distracted or stoic, other dogs and their unique behaviours can cause problems with your dog’s learning.

And, even worse than someone else’s poorly behaved dog is if it’s your dog that is the disruptive one. You will be the one who other dog owners wish  weren’t there. In many ways, these lessons are just as much for the human as for the dogs. If you are embarrassed by your dog’s behaviour, neither you nor your dog will be at your best in a group setting to learn lessons.

Private dog obedience training only involves those distractions that are intentionally introduced by the  trainer to get your dog accustomed to real-world situations. And, in most cases, unless you are needing to acclimatize your dog to other dogs, private training provides excellent training for your unique dog.


Go at Your Dog’s (and Your) Pace
There is a principle in any class, whether it is school or dog obedience training, that you can only go as fast as the slowest student. This is fine if your dog is the slowest student, but if not, your dog will receive less training than he or she is capable of and in essence getting less training than you paid for or expected.

Private lessons can proceed at your and your dog’s pace so that you both fully comprehend the lesson before moving forward. No matter if your dog is a fast or slow learner, private training allows you to pay for exactly the training you want and need.
