Private Sessions bring the experts to you to get the support you need to train your dog.  This training option allows you to train in the comfort of your own home, offers convenience by allowing you to schedule sessions when it works for you, and can include all members of the family that live with your dog.  Private sessions allow us to focus on your specific training needs, and you can’t beat the personal attention achieved with private sessions.  These sessions are a great starting place to create a strong foundation for dogs that are not quite ready for group classes, fearful, or reactive to other dogs.

Private sessions are customized, but typically include learning basic obedience skills and manners such as: attention, sit, down, stay, coming when called, loose leash walking skills, drop it, leave it, polite greetings (no jumping), crate training, and potty training.

What can you expect?  Private sessions are typically held in and around your home, however there my be times where we visit a local park, or work on skills in the community.  The first session is typically 1-1.5 hours.  This initial session serves as an orientation where we will review:

1. •equipment use and recommendations
   

2. •allows the trainer to meet and observe your dog to develop a training plan
   

3. •provides you with foundation skills to get you immediately working towards your training goals
   

You will also be asked to sign a training agreement that outlines Spot On Training policies, training session fees, our expectations of you, and our commitment to you.   All future sessions, will run approximately 45 minutes.  You can schedule how ever many sessions you want, however training your dog is not a quick process and will take some time and commitment from you.  A recommendation will be made outlining how many sessions it may take to achieve your training goals.

What does this include?  Private sessions include a personalized training goal for you, continued email support, Spot On Training articles and handouts, and a clicker (if applicable).
