Science says: Setting positive goals that are intrinsically motivated (based in a desire to grow, improve relationships, or help others) facilitates lasting behavior change and increases happiness. Studies have shown that pet parents get quicker results when the trainer works one-on-one with the dog and one-on-one with the human — and you don't need to be in the home when the 1:1 sessions are taking place with your dog.
"I had really gotten to a point where I thought Juneau and I were just done with training for good, but now I really feel like there is a road to go as far as we want to with this — and that the trip will actually be enjoyable." — Team Juneau

Please note:
The size of the package doesn't determine the rate of progress your dog will make. Training a dog is a lifelong journey, and as they pass through developmental stages, their behavior — and their capacity to learn — will shift too. Choosing a larger package simply means a longer duration of guidance from your trainer, which translates into more knowledge, mastery, and success implementing the training long after your package is complete.
Dog training is a technical, mechanical skill requiring a deep understanding of dog body language, learning theory, marker mechanics, and canine ethology. Our trainers will help you understand how all of this impacts behavior, in a way that creates lasting change and a great relationship with your dog.
Why Private Training is so effective
We tailor the program to fit your specific training goals
You and your dog can move at your own pace
We build in distractions and navigate challenges strategically, instead of fighting with a new environment
There's more scheduling flexibility
We can support you better when we see and work with you in the environment your dog spends most of their time
You'll never be left unsure of what or how to practice the skills we provide. Not only will we come to your house to develop a custom training program, our coaches will meet with you regularly to review progress and adjust your homework.
Our training games are simple, fun, and effective! Practicing with your dog will be the highlight of your day.
