Private Training and Consultations
 With private puppy training you receive personalized attention and coaching to improve your dog’s behavior. Private training and consultations are recommended when:
- You need help with behavior problems such as fear, anxiety, aggression, house soiling, or destruction.
- Your schedule or situation prevents participation in our group classes.
- You have specific training goals, such as service dog tasks, that go beyond our group class curriculum.
- You have very small children who you want involved in the training process.
- You want to build a foundation with private training before coming into to a group class.
- Your dog is too young (i.e. under 14 weeks) for group class.
- You want assistance in selecting the ideal dog to be your new best friend.
Depending on your training needs, we may encourage you to begin your program with us by attending our monthly Training Toolkit Seminar. This seminar provides a wealth of information that will allow you to optimize your dog’s training.

In-home rate: Chico area – Initial Consultation: $150 (approx1½ hour)*. Subsequent sessions: $100 (approx. 1 hour)**.
