Private lessons provides a one-on-one session which is based on positive reinforcement. I do use food as a reward, and believe in being firm but fair with your dog. These sessions last 1 – 1 1/2 hours, depending on the attention span of your dog. The fee is $80.00 (plus HST) per session and you pay as you play. I usually come to the area in which you reside as long as it’s in the general GTA.
We can deal with general issues, or design a lesson around a specific topic. A few of the topics that we deal with regularly are:
How to handle chao at the front door: this single topic private lesson focuses on your dog's problematic behavior at the front door. There are three main categories: uncontrolled barking when people come to the door, over exuberant (annoying) friendly behavior at the door, and door dashing.
Introducing your dog to your new baby: this lesson teaches you how to safely and successfully accustom your dog to your new baby. It covers common myths and misconceptions, your existing routines that should be evaluated, meeting your dog's needs, and acclimation before the baby comes along with other important exercises and information.
