Our Private Dog Training Process
Step 1: Free Phone Consultation
Contact the team at (302) 304-3155 to discuss your dog’s behavior, training goals, and which program may be the right fit. The free phone consultation helps owners understand their options before selecting a training package. During this conversation, you can ask questions about training methods, program structure, and what to expect before choosing the next step.
Step 2: Program Selection and Scheduling
After your consultation, select the private training package that matches your dog’s age, behavior, and training goals. Training packages must be paid in full before scheduling, and clients receive scheduling information after payment is completed. You will receive program information and preparation guidance before training begins, so you know what to expect from your selected package.
Step 3: Private Training Sessions
Work one-on-one with professional trainers on commands like sit, down, place, heel, and recall. Address specific issues such as leash pulling, jumping, door manners, and greeting behaviors. Practice distraction training to ensure obedience transfers to real-world environments around Dover. c
Step 4: Owner Education and Maintenance
Board and train programs include owner education sessions (1.5 to 2 hours, depending on program) where you learn how to handle and reinforce your dog’s new skills. Private lesson packages involve you directly in the training process, so you learn techniques throughout.
Customer Success Stories
“From the moment I arrived, Rachel and the team did everything possible to make me, and more importantly, my dog as comfortable as possible. As nervous as I was about starting training, they truly understood her and showed me just how quickly a dog can have success with the right training program. I cannot wait for my next lesson as I think I learned even more than Sundae did. ”
Christopher Saunders // Dver Dog Owner
“We booked both of our rescued dogs – ages 1 yr 3 months and 3 yrs. Maddy was their trainer and did an amazing job! Both dogs learned things over a 1-2 weeks span that I didn’t think was possible. Maddy was also fantastic with daily updates/videos. Would highly recommend their services and I was comfortable/felt peace of mind knowing that the dogs were fine while we were on vacation. ”
Cory Ohl // Dover Dog Owner
