Private In-Home Training

Learning a new skill or changing an old habit is not an overnight process.

Private in-home training is a perfect fit regardless of whether you just brought a new puppy home, need help teaching new skills or struggling with unwanted behaviors. I will provide all of the training and coaching support needed to set you up for success and build a relationship with your dog based in trust and understanding.

Together we will look at your dog through the holistic ethological lens of the L.E.G.S. framework. During our private sessions, we will outline realistic goals and creative solutions appropriate for your dog’s breed, age and temperament, and designed to enrich your dog’s mind and body.  Training solutions will not include the use of force and coercion or “tools” that cause pain.

“We hired Kerrie to help us train our newly rescued beagle. Her services were extremely affordable and she did a great job listening to our concerns and designing a training plan that workd best for us and the personality of our dog. Charlie has come so far since we’ve gotten her, and we’re incredibly grateful for Kerrie’s broad knowledge of dogs, their behaviors, and different training methods to help us get her there. Would highly recommend.”

Best suited for:

Basic Skills for Dogs and Puppies

Basic skills are generally well-suited for 3-session packages – depending on how many skills are needed and how much time the owners invest in practicing skills.

Advanced Skills for Dogs and Puppies

Advanced skills are generally well-suited for 5- & 7–session packages. Some advanced skills may be suitable for 3-session packages, depending on how well the dog already knows basic skills.

Behavior Modification

Behavior modification is not an overnight process. You will learn and build upon foundational skills throughout the program. This requires a minimum commitment of 5 sessions. Severe behavior issues generally require at least 7 sessions.

Living with a dog who is performing fearful and/or aggressive behaviors can take a huge toll on the entire household. Teaching your dog new skills, modifying maladaptive behaviors and changing negative associations is only a portion of the equation. Your journey will have setbacks, regressions and moments of victory – and I will be with you along every step of your journey.
