Private Training in Barrie, Midhurst, Innisfil, Minesing, Anten Mills, Oro Medonte, Elmvale, Phelpston
Want your dog to enjoy off leash freedom?
Your dog barks and lunges at dogs?
Does your dog want to chase every squirrel?
Want your dog to listen even in distractions?
Is your dog fearful and needs confidence?
Do you have a new dog and you want to set him or her up for success?
Our unique private lesson programs help with these and more. We want to maximize your success with your dog, that's why our clients start with Private Lessons. By working one on one with our trainer, we can find YOUR dog's unique motivators, we can quickly learn to play to your dog's strengths and find the areas we need to focus on, all things that are very difficult to accomplish in group classes. Our training programs are FLEXIBLE, CUSTOMIZED and TAILORED to you and your dog.
Your Training Environment Matters
Distractions are such a critical part of training, and we will teach you how to teach your dog how to handle distractions, whatever they may be.
We train in Real World Scenarios and teach you how to handle them. Private Lessons are held either in home or at an outdoor location in the Barrie area. We choose the environment for the session in order to best work on what we need to work on. This allows us to work in the distractions that are most unique to your dog.
​
If your dog is having issues with other dogs, then we work in an area that has dogs. Squirrels? Then we use a different location. Working neighbourhood leash skills or practicing off leash? Each requires a different approach and environment in order to train that skill.
