Private lessons can fulfill a variety of your pet’s needs

  • Give puppies the training that you want and they need
  • Give you a less distracting place to begin training your dog
  • Tutor your dog to become a Canine Good Citizen. Visit www.akc.org to get your checklist of requirements
  • Behavior Modification lessons done at your home for any qualities that make your dog less than perfect (jumping, nipping, chewing, housebreaking, barking, etc)
  • Teach Children how to behave appropriately around pets
  • Teach your dog basic manners and then we will help you fine tune these skills in public places…why stop there? Let’s do some advanced behaviors as well.
  • Keep your dog busy-Unemployment is the #1 reason for misbehavior in dogs
  • Print off Leroy’s list of Tricks and challenge your dog
  • Benefits of Private Lessons

  • The dog will learn faster in a familiar environment. There will be no distractions that may be due to a large class or other barking dogs. As the dogs learn more we can add real life distractions.
  • You have the attention of the trainer one-on-one! Don’t be embarrassed to ask any questions that you want!
  • You can begin puppy training even earlier since many classes require that your must pup must complete several vaccines in the series before attending.
  • We work with you to tailor the program to meet your specific needs...no need to complete a list of things that someone else decided was standard. Many obedience classes may not focus on the specific behavior problems that you may be experiencing…so let’s focus your time on what is most important to you and the dog.
  • No need to travel. We can come to you or if it is your preference we can meet in a neutral location.
  • Lessons are scheduled around your availability times. This way the whole family can be involved!!
  • Cost is $125/hour. Mileage rates may apply. Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance or $50 fee applies.



    Articles/Stories
    From a Dog's Point of View



    “Training does not limit a dog, training frees a dog. My dog is not limited because s/he does what I tell her. She is free: free to ride with me, free to meet people, free to run off lead in the park, free to play with other dogs. The untrained dog is free to sit in the backyard all by itself”
    -Sue Ailsby
    “In dog training, jerk is a noun, not a verb.”
    -Dr. Dennis Fetko
    “Ever consider what they must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul- chicken, pork, half cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!”
    -Anne Tyler
    “I know that dogs are pack animals, but it's difficult to imagine a pack of standard poodles . . . and if there was such a thing as a pack of standard poodles, where would they rove to? Bloomingdale's?”
    -Yvonne Clifford
