In-Home Private Training
Certainly both private lessons and group classes have their place. We at Joyce's Dogs have taught thousands of students in classroom situations and most of them have gotten started getting their dogs under control.
However, in-home private training does have its virtues:
- Private lessons give the dog owner 100% of the instructors attention
- Curriculum can be tailored to the needs of the owner and dog
- Time frame expectations are under the control of the dog owner, not the trainer's class schedule
- Practice a little and progress a little, or practice regularly and progress faster. It’s up to you!
- Training can start with minimal distraction which sets both dog and owner up for success
- Your lessons are schedule on an as needed/as you're ready basis
- You don't miss important training because you have a class conflict
- Individual problems can be solved with less stress, and no embarrassment
- For many dogs and owners it's a less stressful way to start training
- Distractions can be introduced when the dog is ready
- I do the driving for you!
We teach private lessons for general and specific obedience issues, behavior problem solving, setting up plans for leadership establishment, behavior changing, and puppy starter sessions. These are custom-scheduled and structured to meet your particular needs. Our coverage area is generally North King and Southwest Snohomish County.
