In-home private training | San Francisco Bay Area
During private coaching sessions, you will learn how to train your dog, navigate difficult situations, and resolve behavioral issues.
Sessions are one hour long and conducted in person at your home or local neighborhood, following a customized training plan tailored to your dog’s specific needs. Each session includes homework instructions to complete between sessions to ensure steady progress.
How It Works
- Getting Started: Begins with an initial assessment to evaluate your dog, set training goals, and discuss your customized training plan.
- Customized Training Plan: Tailored plans designed around your dog’s specific needs and your training goals.
- Training packages: Available as single sessions or discounted packages.
- Your Commitment: 15 minutes of homework daily (easily built into mealtimes and walks).
- Timeline: Behavior modification typically takes 4–12 sessions (2–6 months) held weekly or bi-weekly.
- Flexible Scheduling: Sessions are available on weekdays and on weekends
Also Included:
- Written training plans & exercise instruction, video tutorials
- Direct chat support between sessions for ongoing guidance.

Day training / Training walks
I’ll visit your place several times a week to train your dog on my own. You don’t have to be present during the session. Each session lasts for an hour and can take place at your home or during walks, depending on your dog’s needs. Examples of issues that can be tackled during day training include barking and reactivity on walks, jumping and pulling on the leash, crate training, prey drive, manners around food, and public behavior.
You can choose between 2, 3 and 5 sessions per week. Training will be scheduled on same days each week and around same time (you will be assigned a 2-hour window when the the training session will happen). There are no make-ups for missed sessions or weeks.
Day training works as a subscription service and you will be charged automatically on a monthly. If you wish to stop using this service, you will be able to cancel before the next payment is processed.
Understand, that day training isn’t a quick fix, and it doesn’t replace your own efforts in building a strong relationship with your dog and learning how to communicate with them. Think of it as an extra boost for your own training.

Private walks
A one-on-one private walk catering to your dog’s needs is a great option for dogs who can’t be part of a pack walk for some reason or when they need special handling due to reactivity, prey drive, shyness, or fearful behavior. This is not a training walk, but your dog walker is a dog trainer who is skilled at handling a dog with special needs. For safety reasons, a basket muzzle is required if your dog has any prior bite history.
The private walk service areas are San Francisco, Daly City, Pacifica, San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame, and Half Moon Bay.
Single walk price:
55$ / 30min walk
75$ / 45 min walk
