Private Individual Dog Training

Please visit Services FAQ – Which Private Service is best for me?

Cats and Other Animals

The methods I use are applicable to all animals. I have the most experience with dogs, followed by domestic cats. To learn about my experiences with cats and other animals, please visit the Cats page or the Other Animals page.

Scheduling

I work full time in this field. My schedule is flexible. If none of my usual appointment times are good for you, I’ll work around your schedule. I usually schedule private, in-home appointments:

10 AM (M-Tu-W-Th-F-Sa) 2 PM (M-W-Th-F-Sa) 6 PM (M-W-Th-F)

Saturday appointments are usually filled about 3 weeks in advance; 6 PM appointments are booked about 1.5 weeks in advance; 10 AM and 2 PM appointments are usually available within a week.

Aggressive Animals

*Due to the complexities of aggression, I ask clients with animals that exhibit aggressive behaviors to select a Full Session for the initial meeting. This means that clients with aggressive animals may select either a Full Session or the Jump Start. During the initial Full Session, no treatment takes place. It’s a consultation and evaluation.

Please follow these links for information about treating fearful and aggressive dogs. Thank you.

Definitions and Classifications for Aggressive Behaviors

Aggressive behaviors include growling, snarling, barking, snapping, biting, hissing (feline), scratching (feline), and kicking (equine). Problem aggression is when these behaviors are directed at companion animals or people.
