Dog Training

Learn to train your dog through private lessons, or hire me to work with your dog solo.

In-person training in the San Francisco Bay Area; online training – worldwide.

Private lessons in your home

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

This type of training allows me to work with your dog directly, and you don’t need to be present for the session. Depending on your dog’s situation, age, and training goals, the session can be conducted outside during the walk or at your home (or a hybrid of both).

Each training session lasts 45 min, and 3 sessions per week are suggested for faster results.

This service is a monthly subscription, and you can choose between 2, 3, or 5 sessions per week. Sessions are scheduled on the same day & time each week. (You will be assigned a 2-hour window for the training session.)

Complex behavior modification cases (e.g., reactivity, fear, anxiety, hyperactivity) may require several months and additional coaching for pet guardians. Less complicated training goals (e.g., crate training) can be achieved within one month.

Understand that day training isn’t a quick fix; it doesn’t replace your efforts to build a strong relationship with your dog and learn how to communicate with them.

Online consultations

Online training sessions are held via Google Meet. Each session is 45 minutes long or as long as you require.

Remote consultations are a perfect tool for all new puppy owners, people bringing a rescue dog home, or anyone wanting to learn more about dogs before they even get one. You can get all your questions answered and avoid potential mistakes most first-time dog owners make with their dogs.
