Private Coaching

Who is it For?

Private Coaching is the perfect fit for clients who:

  • Already have a Behaviour Modification Plan on board for their dog’s behavioural concerns

  • Are enrolled in or have graduated from Group Classes, but are looking for additional support

  • Need a little help with group class curriculum but prefer to work one-on-one

If your dog is experiencing issues not covered in our group classes, particularly aggressive or anxious behaviour, you will need to start with a Behaviour Consultation prior to taking Private Coaching sessions. For many dogs, however, this is not necessary. All behaviours typically covered in our group curriculum can take Private Coaching sessions as the first step.
