Private Training

Our customized, private lessons are created specifically for you, your dog, and your situation. Many cases are more effectively and appropriately addressed with the one-on-one attention that private lessons afford.  Our lessons are held at our center. In home training is available by request and with a travel fee.

Private lessons can be purchased individually or as a three-lesson package.  We recommend that packages of three lessons be used within 3 to 6 weeks, but they must be completed within 3 months of purchase. 

To schedule a private lesson, please call us: 713-364-4439 or contact us.
