private Dog training
Gresham’s Best 1-on-1 dog training
How Private
Training Works
-
If you’re not sure what package option is best for you, send us an email or schedule a Discovery Call. We will gladly help you find the right fit.
Once you know what package is the right for you and your dog, you will purchase the package and then schedule out all of your sessions through Acuity.
-
Prior to our first lesson, you will be asked to fill out a comprehensive intake form. The intake will ensure our first lesson will be as informed and productive as possible.
-
During each lesson, we will check-in about the week, work on a couple new skills, and discuss any topics we need to address. Skills will be demonstrated by our trainer, who will then coach you through replicating skills, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions.
-
In between private lessons, you’ll have the ability to text and email for troubleshooting, follow-up questions, and general support. You can even send video clips you’d like us to review and provide feedback on.
-
Once you’ve finished your private training package, you’ll continue to have life-long access to any and all training materials provided. A graduation certificate will be provided. Best of all, Dog Flower will be cheering you and your dog on, always available to provide additional support through a variety of services including individual private lessons.
