Private In-Home Training For You & Your Dog

Safe, Effective Solutions During COVID-19

The safety and well being of our clients and team is incredibly important to us.  We continue to offer in-person/outdoor private training sessions and have implemented protocols to be in line with Local, State, and Federal recommendations.  They are as follows:

  • Initial consultations are competed via Zoom in an effort to reduce in person interaction.
  • Private training sessions occur outdoors only.
  • We adhere to social distancing guidelines when working with you and your dog.
  • Our trainers wear masks, and ask that our clients do as well.
  • All equipment is sanitized before and directly following private lessons.

We are incredibly grateful for all of our clients, and are committed to keeping everyone safe and healthy as we navigate these ever changing times!

The At-Home Training Solution
Does your dog have a specific issue that you need help with? Are you unable to participate in a group class due to your schedule constraints or your dog’s behavior? Would you prefer one-on-one coaching from a qualified professional so you can make more rapid progress with your dog?
With private lessons you and your dog have the undivided attention of a professional BravoPup trainer. We focus exclusively on your goals, teaching you how to effectively work with your dog. Private sessions last an hour and are highly customized with expert client coaching and written follow-up reports. Training can be in-home or in outdoor environments (or both) depending on your individual needs.
The Process:
We start with an Initial Evaluation to gain a full understanding of your dog’s behavior issues and your training goals. Then we recommend a training plan and appropriate package e to help you achieve those goals.

Here is what we can and cannot help you with:

Our trainers are highly skilled and experienced in many areas of dog and puppy behavior. From preparing you to bring home a new puppy to needing help with a dog that is fearful, leash reactive, excessively barking, jumps and pulls on leash and everything in between, we can help. 

We regret that we are not able to offer in-person private training for dogs that have the following behaviors: Dog to dog aggression, dog to human aggression, dogs with a bite history, resource guarding and separation anxiety. Separation anxiety requires specialized training. We highly recommend Malena DeMartini: https://malenademartini.com/

INITIAL BEHAVIOR EVALUATION:
A comprehensive behavior evaluation that may last up to 90 minutes. We collect a complete case history on your dog’s behavior and discuss your training goals in depth. Based on our findings, we’ll recommend a training plan and package that fits your needs.
  • Fee: $150
  • If you’ve already attended one of our classes the cost of the Initial Evaluation may be reduced to $125 at the trainer’s discretion.
STANDARD TRAINING PACKAGES:
Single session: $125
  • We spend an hour with you and your dog to review a skill and/or discuss a behavior issue.
  • Good for situations where you just need a little help or fine tuning.
4-Pack: $425
  • We coach you with your dog once a week for for an hour for 4 weeks.
  • This is the DIY (Do It Yourself) package: We teach. You learn. Then you practice, practice, practice.
  • A good choice if you want to expand on skills learned in class, such as recall or polite leash walking.
8-Pack: $825
  • We coach you with your dog twice a week for 4 weeks.. This schedule helps keep you focused and motivated to achieve behavioral change within one month.
  • Popular for single issue cases that require you to do a lot of repetitionsuch as leash reactivity, repairing broken recalls, pulling and jumping on leash.
DAY TRAINING PACKAGES:
This is the cost-effective solution for busy owners who don’t have time to devote to training but want a well-behaved dog. We come to your home and train your dog on the weekdays while you are at work. Then on the weekend we coach you and the dog together in a “transfer session” so that you stay in step with what your dog is learning.
12 pack: $1230
  • Three times a week for 4 weeks; 2 days with dog, 1 day with you and dog.
  • Recommended for installing multiple basic obedience commands or addressing complex behavior issues.
16 pack: $1600
