Private Training Lessons
Private lessons are taught in your home and may include teaching you and your dog to work as a team, learning basic commands such as "sit", "down", "leave it", and leash manners. Lessons also may include creative management solutions for undesirable behaviors or working on your dog’s individual needs.

Private lessons are by appointment and are the best option for busy pet parents that cannot attend regular group classes or for dogs that have problematic behavior issues. Private lesson packages of three 1 hour sessions are available. Please contact me to determine what training option would work best for you and your dog.

Group Classes
Group lessons are designed to build teamwork and teach basic obedience skills and manners. Classes consist of a maximum of five participants and their dogs and are taught at Meadowmont in Chapel Hill, Bed & Bone in Mebane, and at Blue Dog's training studio in Efland (coming soon).

Descriptions of each class are listed below. Classes are scheduled on demand and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. To check availability of group classes, please contact me. Click here for Class Registration Forms

Semi-Private Lessons
Semi-private lessons can consist of 2-4 participants and their dogs at a client's home. These lessons may include learning a variety of skills, commands, and tricks. Classes can be customized for the group and are a great way for friends to work with their dogs together!

Gift Certificates
Give the gift of a better behaved buddy! Gift certificates are available for private and group lessons.
