Private Lessons

Ranges $560 to $840

Private Lessons are a great starting point for any dog, whether you are looking to get a head start with your new dog or in need of help with behavioral issues.

During Private Lessons we look to cover a number of “core” behaviors, along with tailoring the program based on your specific needs. We always look to create a language and form of communication first, before tackling any problem behaviors.

Sessions are hands-on and the trainer will handle the dog, but the goal is for you the owner to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully train with your dog.

Rate of progress is in your control — dedicated owners who put in the time to practice and implement the teachings between lessons often experience significant progress within the first several lessons.

Private Lesson FAQs

  • Yes! We encourage all pet-parents to participate to maximize our lesson time together. We want all involved to ask questions, learn the skills, and be a part of the journey!

  • Recommended scheduling is approximately every 2 weeks. We want to maintain momentum, while allowing enough time to practice and implement the teachings.

  • It depends! Rate of progress is in your control — dedicated owners who put in the time between lessons to practice and implement the teachings often experience significant progress within the first several lessons.

    But, there are no magic wands here, so patience and consistency are key.

    Habits (good and bad) aren’t formed overnight!

  • That’s totally fine — everyone’s starting point is different, as are their training goals. The beauty of Private Lessons is that the content and pace are tailored to you and your dog.

    Whether it’s leash pulling or leash reactivity, our training team has the expertise to help.

  • Additional single-lessons can be added on!

    Many clients also enroll in our Day School or other training to keep growing with their dog.

“The private lessons really taught us how to communicate with our dogs and learn the skills to really address the issues we had… my husband and I feel way more confident in our ability to handle things going forward. I can't recommend Supreme K9 enough!”
