In-home private training | San Francisco Bay Area
Private sessions are conducted in your place (or a place of your choosing) and follow a customized training plan that fits your dog’s situation, your goals, and your learning style.
We start with the initial consultation/assessment, where I meet your dog, assess their skills and behavior, answer all your questions, and explain the training process. After the session, you will receive a customized training plan and a detailed overview of your situation.
We will meet weekly or bi-weekly for a private coaching session and work towards your training goals. Between the sessions, you will receive homework with daily exercises to do with your dog, usually requiring 10-15 minutes of your time a day. Many exercises can be done around mealtime or on walks.
You will also receive access to training videos, written instructions for each exercise, and notes on everything we trained and discussed at the session. You will also receive information and support in the 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$ / 35min* walk
