Training That Fits Your Dog's Real Life
Most behavior problems don't happen in a training facility. They happen on your street, in your home, at the front door when guests arrive. That's why Nick comes to you — or takes your dog into the real environments where the work actually needs to stick.
​
Every private lesson is built around what your specific dog needs that day. There's no fixed curriculum, no recycled handouts, no one-size-fits-all program. Nick assesses where your dog is, works on what matters most, and shows you exactly what to do so you can keep building between sessions.
What we work on:
Private lessons cover the full range of what dogs and their owners actually struggle with — from foundational obedience and leash manners to behavior problems like jumping, barking, and door bolting, all the way through aggression, reactivity, and off-leash reliability. Puppy training is also available for owners who want to start things off right before bad habits form.
If your dog has an aggression or reactivity issue, private lessons are where that work happens — one-on-one, at the pace your dog needs, with Nick's full attention on your specific situation.
How it Works:
Every new client starts with a free 30-minute, in-person consultation. Nick meets your dog, learns what's going on, and puts together a real plan before any paid sessions begin. From there, lessons can be booked individually or in packages — whatever makes sense for where you are and where you want to get to.
​
Sessions take place at your home, in public environments, or wherever the relevant challenges actually show up. Nick decides what location makes most sense based on your dog and your goals.
"They not only trained my dog, but they trained me too — giving me the tools and confidence to continue the work at home. Our walks are now something I actually look forward to." — Chris Whelan
