Here’s how our private lessons work
Step one: on-boarding
After deciding that we are the right fit for you and your dog, we’ll get you started with an onboarding form. This form is where we get to know your dog, their behaviors and what we need to work on the most. Then, you’ll schedule your first lesson.
Step two: Video submission
Prior to our first session I will send out a link for you to upload video of your dog. This is for me to see what you and your dog already know. We want to meet you where you are at and video really helps us with that. These videos will guide me and tell me what our first lesson should cover. We will also send over exercises for you to get started on so we can be set up for our first lesson. With each video you submit you will receive custom feedback within 24hrs.
Step three: Your turn
The private lessons are teaching you how to be your dogs’ trainer. There will be homework to do between our in-person lessons, it’s nothing crazy but a daily commitment is needed. You'll practice the skills you learned during our lessons, and when questions or advice are needed, we utilize Dropbox to communicate via video. That way, we can maintain steady progression between our in-person sessions.
Step four: Training maintenance
After your lessons are complete, you will have six months of access to our weekly alumni group class. This weekly class allows you to practice your skills in a more structured environment and get additional coaching. This class is here to help you and your dog feel comfortable and gain confidence. We want to help you concentrate on your dog first. You can use this time to practice your skills that transfer into the real world with your dog.
