Lessons or board & train?

Lessons teach you. Board and train changes the dog. Often the answer is both.

Private lessons are ideal when you have the time to practice daily and the problem is manners, obedience or handling. For reactivity, aggression, anxiety or a dog who has “already tried training”, the daily repetition of a board and train produces the most reliable change, and lessons afterwards transfer it to you.

Questions

About lessons.

Where do private lessons happen?

At the Cypress facility ($160 per session) for focused learning without distractions, or in your home ($220 per session) so the training is practical in your dog’s everyday environment.

Can private lessons handle reactivity or aggression?

Private lessons can address reactivity and anxiety and are ideal for coaching you as a handler. For serious reactivity or aggression, the daily repetition of a Platinum or VIP board and train produces the most reliable change, followed by lessons to transfer it to you.
