  • Only you and your pup are the focus of private dog training sessions. Confidential and customized training.

    Private Training: Single (ad hoc) Sessions

    Customized, 1-on-1, Private In-home Training & Training Packages.

    Enjoy a 1-hr training experience where you’ll learn to use positive reinforcement/reward-based techniques to communicate with your dog and have a blast doing it!

    A certified trainer will come to your home (or other agreed upon location) to assess, train, and provide you with the tools to continue your dog’s training on your own.

    By observing your dog and your interactions in its home environment, behavioral issues can be precisely identified and addressed. This method ensures the dog's behavior is not influenced by the stress of being assessed in an unfamiliar location.

    *Note: A consultation must have taken place at least 24 hrs. before the training session.

    Single sessions: $150/1-hr session

  • Burnese Mountain Dog enjoying puppy obedience training in the rain.

    Private Training: 4- and 8-packs

    Certain behavioral issues may take more than a single session to resolve. Factors such as the length of time the behavior has been occurring, the severity, previous training attempts, and whether trauma, and aggression are involved are factors that may require multiple training sessions.

    Resolving significant behavioral issues is a key investment into ensuring a harmonious relationship with you and your family. You will be advised during your consultation if multiple sessions are required.

    4-packs (1 hr sessions): $550

    8-packs (1 hr sessions): $1100

  • Late arrivals within reason are allowed - we live in NYC right? However, the session must end at the same time if there is another pup scheduled in the next appointment slot.

  • Weather-related cancellations — Classes will still be held under very light rain conditions, with heavy rain, every effort will be made to reschedule during the same week or an additional week will be added to the end of the series. Please plan for at least one weather-related cancelation.

Aggressive Dogs

  • All dogs must be friendly to be in group classes.

  • Please let me know if there is any history of aggression to humans or other dogs before class begins because there may be more appropriate training possibilities I can offer.

  • Aggressive, overly loud dogs will be asked to attend private training sessions rather than group classes.

  • All dogs can be aggressive, it’s absolutely fine, let’s work together!
