The Dog School in Vancouver offers in-studio Private Dog Training for dogs of all ages, including reactive, anxious, and aggressive dogs. Sessions are available immediately with no waitlist and are taught by PhD trainer Dr. Sarah Shapiro-Ward and co-owner Katrina Per-Carruthers (BA Psychology, IAABC, CASI), using force-free, science-based methods. Private lessons are personalized to each dog’s needs, addressing leash pulling, fear, anxiety, skill refinement, and behavior modification. Online sessions are available for severe cases, and in-home sessions can be arranged on a case-by-case basis. Private training can be booked as single sessions or multiple sessions, providing maximum flexibility and immediate support in a safe, controlled studio environment. Many clients combine private lessons with group classes or the badge program to achieve the best results.
