Private Training & Behavior Modification to get you the help you need. We can't wait to work with you!
Some dogs need one-on-one support and goal setting before they're ready to join other dogs in a group setting. We offer Private Training & Behavior Modification coaching to help you with fear; anxiety; aggression; reactivity; basic manners; puppy problem solving and socialization; advancing your manners skills; teaching your dog a sport; increasing your enrichment chops - the list goes on!
At Happy Dog, our private training programs offer practical, science-based solutions that deliver real results—along with peace of mind and a big sigh of relief. Using reward-based methods, we address behavior challenges with expertise and experience you can trust. We also meet mulstiple times each month as a team to collaborate and brainstorm cases, so when you work with us you have a whole team behind you.
Each Private Training Package Includes:
- A 60-minute initial consultation to get you the help you need ASAP—available in-person at our facility or virtually.
- Additional hours of support, typically broken into 30-minute sessions.
- The flexibility to choose in-person and/or virtual sessions to maximize success.
- Written materials, handouts, goal-setting notes, and video reviews (as needed).
- The expertise of our whole team via regular staff collaboration meetings.
- Cutting-edge resources and techniques—we are always taking continuing education courses and learning more.
- A customized training plan that is humane, effective, and designed to fit your lifestyle—because our goal is to reduce stress, not add to it.
