Behavior Solutions & Real Life Skills

Private Lessons — Starting at $70 per session (Minimum 3 Sessions)
45–60 minutes per session

Some behaviors need more than a quick fix — they need patience, understanding, and a plan that works in your everyday life. Our Behavior Solutions & Real-Life Skills private lessons are designed to help you tackle your dog’s more challenging behaviors head-on, with step-by-step support you can trust.

Whether your dog struggles with leash reactivity, barking at strangers, lunging at other dogs, fearfulness, resource guarding, or other big behaviors that feel overwhelming, you don’t have to face it alone. We’ll meet you where you are and create a customized plan to build better habits and a calmer, safer relationship.

What We Can Help With

Every dog and situation is unique, but common issues we address include:
Leash reactivity (barking, lunging)
Fear-based behaviors
Resource guarding (food, toys, space)
Excessive barking or whining
Jumping, mouthing, and over-arousal
Difficulty focusing around distractions
Confidence-building for shy or anxious dogs

Practical, Kind, and Balanced

Behavior challenges can feel stressful and even isolating — but change is possible. We use balanced training methods focused on clear communication and practical daily exercises. Our goal is progress you can see and routines you can stick with, not quick fixes that don’t last.

Personalized, One-on-One Help

Sessions are always private and fully customized to your dog’s needs and your family’s comfort level. We’ll work at your home or a local, lower-stress location, moving at a pace that keeps your dog feeling safe and successful.


Support Beyond the Lesson

Behavior work takes time — and we’re here for you between visits. You’ll get clear homework, practical tips, and ongoing guidance to help you stay on track and celebrate progress step by step.

Take the First Step Toward Change

You don’t have to live with chaos, stress, or worry forever. Let’s build safer, calmer habits together — and help your dog feel more comfortable in the real world.
