In-Home Private Training
Private Dog Training
My Personal Dog Trainer’s in-home dog training programs are geared towards owners who want hands-on guidance and support while working directly with their dog throughout the entire training process.
All training sessions are completed in your dog’s everyday environment, implementing foundational obedience and behavior modifications that coincide with your routine and daily activities. Throughout the training program, we focus on teaching practical skills, improving owner-dog communication, and helping each of you understand how to maintain progress and adapt to new environments and situations.
During our private training session, we’ll be working on the following:
Foundational Obedience
Foundational obedience is the basis of our training and helps to build a solid foundation on which your dog can learn more intricate skills. This portion of our training will master sit, stay, loose leash walking and recall skills, as well as on- and off-leash training, to instill control and mutual respect during public outings.
Household Manners
Household manners will focus on identifying and reducing negative behavior and disruptions within your home. Our training will cover jumping, barking, and household boundaries to ensure your pet feels comfortable in its own home and your guests feel welcome.
Calm Behavior & Impulse Control
A calm pup with controlled impulses improves routine and makes interactions less stressful. Together, we’ll teach your dog impulse control, identify triggers, and develop healthy exercises to reduce unwanted behaviors or reactions inside and out of the home.
Communication & Consistency
Proper communication and consistency are the key to a positive training trajectory, reinforcing learning and creating a safe and predictable routine. You’ll achieve a level of connection and communication with your dog that you never thought possible, giving you a new appreciation for your lifelong companion.
Addressing Specific Concerns
During our evaluation period, we’ll identify specific problem areas and concerns with your dog, your routine, or your environment that may be a barrier to training success and consistency.
How Private Dog Training Sessions Work
Hands-On Training For You And Your Dog
Get ready to be involved every step of the way.
Private dog training sessions with us at My Personal Dog Trainer take place in your home, neighbourhood, and local environment. We come to your home or chosen outing location for each of our training sessions, integrating all stages of you and your dogs learning into your daily routine. You’re actively involved in every step where you and your dog learn how to practice and reinforce skills, creating opportunity for success, even when the sessions are over. Training progress is highly dependent on consistency and follow-through between visits; while our training sessions create a roadmap, the at-home work in between will be where the real progress happens.
Every private training session is a cooperative process between us, you, and your dog. We guide and coach you, exposing you to real-world scenarios, making it easier for you to implement training in your everyday life. With consistent practice and clear communication, training will become second nature, creating an enjoyable and rewarding experience for you and your dog.
Is Private Training A Good Fit For You?
Private dog training by My Personal Dog Trainer may be a good option if:
- You want to be directly involved in your dog's training
- You’re willing to practice taught skills in between sessions
- You’re in need of guidance tailored to your daily routine
- Structure and clarity are important aspects of your relationship with your pet
Dog training is never a quick fix and requires consistent reinforcement and practice to maintain trained behaviors. Genetics, age, and breed traits may also play a factor in the overall success of training. If you’re looking for minimal involvement in maintaining training at home, or are unwilling to modify at-home routines to promote training success, private dog training may not be the right fit for you.
Next Steps
Private dog training is a wonderful way for you to connect with your pup on a new and personal level. Developing healthy habits, consistent daily routines, and clear communication can create a stress-free environment for your dog and your family, allowing you to enjoy each other's company rather than managing behavior.
