private dog training
One-on-one support, built around you and your dog
Every dog is different. So is every household. Our private coaching sessions give you focused, individualized guidance — whether you're building foundational skills or working through something more complex.
Not sure which option fits? Keep reading — we'll help you figure it out.
Each program begins with a comprehensive assessment and a clear, actionable plan. You’ll gain professional insight, confidence, and the tools to make real progress — supported by our compassionate, evidence-based approach.
Private coaching for everyday life
Life Skills coaching is for dogs who need help navigating the real world — and owners who want practical, grounded support along the way.
This isn't about perfect obedience. It's about building a dog who can settle, walk without dragging you down the street, greet guests without launching, and move through daily life with a little more ease. It's about making home feel manageable again.
Sessions are hands-on and collaborative. We'll look at what your dog already knows, what's getting in the way, and what realistic progress looks like for your situation. You'll leave with a clear plan that actually fits your life.
What Life Skills sessions include:
What Life Skills sessions include:
- In-home or on-location private sessions (virtual available)
- Leash manners, recall, greetings, settle, and impulse control
- Management strategies that work right now, while training builds
- Reinforcement-based methods — no punishment, no intimidation
- Realistic expectations and honest timelines
- Written session notes and follow-up support
Life Skills is a great fit if your dog pulls on leash, jumps on people, struggles with impulse control, needs help with basic manners, gets easily distracted, or just hasn't had much formal training yet. These are common, workable challenges — and you don't need a behaviour consultation to address them.
Life Skills Coaching is NOT for:
- FEAR, ANXIETY, STRESS, OR AGGRESSION
- Inter-dog aggression or multi-dog dynamics
- Please book under BEHAVIOUR COACHING for these concerns

Behaviour coaching
Behaviour consultations
Behaviour consultations are for dogs whose challenges go beyond basics — dogs who are struggling emotionally, and you may feel nervous about your dog's behaviour.
Many dogs reacting intensely to the world around them, shutting down, feeling unsafe, or expressing behaviours that worry you; these are dogs whose nervous system needs support. Behaviour consulting is a different kind of work: slower, more individualized, and built around emotional regulation as much as skill-building.
Behaviour cases aren't about "bad dogs." They're about dogs who are communicating that something feels hard, unsafe, or overwhelming. Our job is to understand that communication and build a path forward together — for your dog and for you.
Behaviour consultations include:
Behaviour consultations include:
- Comprehensive behavioural history and intake
- Functional assessment of the behaviour and its context
- Individualized behaviour modification plan
- Management and prevention strategies
- Gradual exposure and desensitization support
- Ongoing follow-up coaching and group offerings available
Behaviour coaching
Reactivity toward dogs or people:
Fear or anxiety:
Handling sensitivity/vet stress:
Separation distress:
Overarousal:
Aggression concerns:
- Lunges, barks, or snaps on leash when they see another dog or person
- Can't pass another dog on a walk without losing it
- Explosive reactions that feel impossible to interrupt once they start
Fear or anxiety:
- Shuts down, freezes, or tries to flee in everyday situations
- Hides, trembles, or pants in situations that seem normal to you
- Takes a very long time to recover after something startling happens
- Won't eat or take treats when outside or in new places
Handling sensitivity/vet stress:
- Snaps, growls, or stiffens when touched in certain areas
- Can't be brushed, have nails trimmed, or examined without a major struggle
- Has bitten or come close to biting during grooming or vet visits
Separation distress:
- Destroys things, vocalizes, or injures themselves when left alone
- Can't settle even when you're just in another room
- Follows you from room to room and panics when you leave
Overarousal:
- Goes from zero to completely unmanageable in seconds
- Bites at leash, clothing, or hands when excited
- Can't come back down once they're wound up — takes hours to settle
Aggression concerns:
- Has growled, snapped, or bitten a person or another animal
- Guards food, toys, furniture, or people with intensity
- You find yourself managing their environment carefully to avoid an incident

Not sure which one you need?
Here's a simple way to think about it:
Life Skills Coaching
Your dog is manageable but could use some work. The challenges are about skills and habits — pulling, jumping, not listening, general manners. Your dog is engaged with the world in a pretty normal way, just needs direction.
Behaviour Consultation
Your dog seems stressed, shut down, or overwhelmed. Their reactions feel outsized or hard to interrupt. You're worried about their emotional state — not just their manners. Something feels like more than just "untrained."
Still not sure? That's completely okay. You're welcome to reach out and we'll help point you in the right direction — no commitment required. There's no wrong door here.
