Our "In Home Private Training" program  is our most expensive option, but it is also the most beneficial since the trainer has the ability to start "in home" and then progress to walks in the neighborhood or other areas so that the doggie can transfer the knowledge learned to the real world.  For example, many clients start 'in home' and then progress to walks in the neighborhood or other areas.  

There will also be a phone consultation prior to the first session so the client can share their concerns and goals directly with our trainer.
