Private Dog Training Lessons
Private lessons
Private lessons are a five-week course directed and customized to take care of your immediate concerns. Problem-solving is prioritized by addressing specific behaviors according to your needs. You, your family, and your dog return once per week for (5) five weeks. You arrive and the training begins. The lessons are 45 to 55 minutes long with your private qualified instructor. You then go home and review your exercises and commands daily, returning the following weeks for review and to learn new commands. This course allows the whole family to participate in the training of your dog. We are available weekdays, weekends, and nights.
The S.T.A.R PROGRAM
The S.T.A.R. PROGRAM is a test that is performed during the 5 weeks of training. The 6th week is the completion of the test. It is open for all dogs up to 1 year of age. The 20 categories are checked off during each class and continue until the sixth week. S = Socialization, T = Training, A = Activity, R = Responsibility. Each component plays a vital role in shaping a well-rounded and confident puppy. Earning the S.T.A.R. Puppy recognition is a great stepping stone toward becoming a Canine Good Citizen.
The CANINE GOOD CITIZEN
The CANINE GOOD CITIZEN test is for any breed of dog. It is to ensure that your dog can be a respected member of the community and has been trained to be well-behaved in the home, in public, and around other dogs. This certification demonstrates your dog’s ability to handle everyday situations with good manners. It also serves as a strong foundation for more advanced training or future therapy dog work. Dogs that pass all 10 items of the test may order an official CGC certificate from the American Kennel Club.
The REGISTERED THERAPY DOG CERTIFICATION
The REGISTERED THERAPY DOG CERTIFICATION is a test for dogs and owners to complete and pass so that they may be able to take their dogs on visits to nursing homes, hospitals, or to individuals who may need comfort or want to enjoy the presence of a well-behaved dog. This test is the next level after Canine Good Citizen. Therapy dogs provide emotional support and bring joy to those in need, making a meaningful impact in their communities. The certification process ensures your dog has the right temperament, obedience, and social skills to interact safely and calmly in a variety of settings.
