Private Training & Behavior Modification to help with your reactive or chaotic canine. Get the help you need today!
Some dogs need one-on-one support and goal setting before they're ready to join other dogs in a group setting. We offer Private Training & Behavior Modification coaching to help you with fear, bite behavior, reactivity, severe separation anxiety, and more.
At Happy Dog, our private training programs offer practical, science-based solutions that deliver real results—along with peace of mind and a big sigh of relief. Using reward-based methods, we address behavior challenges with expertise and experience you can trust.
Each Private Training Package Includes:
- A 60-minute initial consultation to get you the help you need ASAP—available in-person at our facility or virtually.
- Additional hours of support, typically broken into 30-minute sessions.
- The flexibility to choose in-person and/or virtual sessions to maximize success.
- Written materials, handouts, goal-setting notes, and video reviews as needed.
- A customized training plan that is humane, effective, and designed to fit your lifestyle—because our goal is to reduce stress, not add to it.
Not sure private training is the right fit? Please contact us to discuss options and a plan that will work best for you and your dog.
