About Our Private Lessons Dog Training

Are you looking to transform your dog into a well-behaved, obedient companion? At SMS, we design our Private Lessons for pet parents who want to be directly involved in their pup’s progress. We understand that every dog is unique, and we tailor our program to meet your needs and those of your pup! Your certified trainer will teach you how to train your dog and specifically address your most important goals.

Whether you are experiencing frustrations with dog aggression, accidents in the house, or ceaseless barking, Private Lessons is the perfect approach to tackle Fido’s challenges! Also, unlike our group class lessons, our trainer will develop a training program based on your dog’s personality, size, and demeanor.

Advantages to Private Lessons:

  • It will just be you, your trainer, and your dog. There will be no other clients or dogs around to distract you.
  • Whether you prefer daytime, evening, or weekend sessions, we work with you to find a schedule that fits your lifestyle.
  • Does your dog struggle with commands, leash pulling, or behavioral issues? Our private lessons allow us to focus on addressing these areas.
  • We take the time to understand your dog’s temperament, behavior issues, and training goals, allowing us to develop a training plan that suits your dog’s needs.
  • Lessons can be held at our facility, your home, work, or other locations of your choice.
  • In a private lesson, you and your dog receive individualized attention for faster progress and more effective communication.

Ready to get personal with your pup’s progress? Our Private Lessons include a Free Consultation to develop a specific training program, so contact us today!

I want to say thank you Trent and all of the staff! My dog had trouble socializing again and with walking on a leash. He would lunge towards other dogs and bark uncontrollably. I felt so helpless trying to get his attention again and stop him from barking. He is now walking by my side, friendly with other dogs and people.
