In-home private training | San Francisco Bay Area

During private coaching sessions you learn how to train your dog, how to handle them in difficult situations, how to deal with behavior issues etc.

Why private coaching:

• Private sessions are conducted in your place (or a place of your choosing)
• A customized training plan is created based on your dog’s situation and your needs
• Flexible scheduling and learning pace that fits your schedule and time availability

Logistics:

• All sessions require an initial consultation/assessment, during which I meet your dog, assess its skills and behavior, and explain the training process. After the session, you will receive a customized training plan and a detailed overview of the situation.
• Average behavior modification cases require around 6-12 sessions (2-4 months of commitment)
• Sessions can be purchased as a package (recommended since it will result in a better price option) or as a single session.
• Sessions are conducted weekly or bi-weekly, depending on training goals and your availability.
• You are expected to practice with your dog between sessions, 10-15 minutes daily. Many exercises can be done around mealtime or on walks.

Extra bonus:

• Access to training videos, written instructions for each exercise, and notes on everything we trained and discussed at the session.
• Information support via chat between the sessions.

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.

Private walk prices:
50$ / 30min walk
70$ / 45 min walk

+20$ for the second dog
