Private, in-person (and virtual) lessons available at your home on your schedule. We cover the DC metro area, including Silver Spring, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, and Takoma Park, MD. We also serve Arlington, Alexandria, and Great Falls, VA. We offer single lessons (starting at $172), consultations, packages, and a great alternative to board and train: day training walks.
Three lessons
Three (50-minute) sessions at your home. These lessons are a great way to start working on a single skill like loose leash walking, introducing a puppy to a new home, or refining some skills in new environments. You can start, review, and advance the skills using different games to engage your pup, or dip a toe into behavior modification if your pup is struggling with reactivity, resource guarding, or separation issues. Video and email support available.
Packages start at $464.40
Six Lessons
Six (50-minute) sessions at your home. You and your pup will get to dive into new puppy life, learn some new skills, and, with a trainer, advance and proof them in the busy DC environment, or work through how to help your struggling reactive dog in a safe, supportive way, with both controlled setups and working out and about when possible. Video and email support available.
Packages start at $825.60
Day Training Walks
Twelve (50-minute) sessions at your home are a great alternative to board and train. Your trainer will come to your home 2-3 times per week and work just with your dog. We can work on loose-leash walking, introduce or advance strategies for reactive dogs, jump-start puppy training, and dive into tricks, nosework, or enrichment. We can lay out a plan and send you tips on how to practice the same skills with success. We also offer transfer sessions to help you practice the skills with your pup. Video and email support are available.
Packages start at $1444.80.
Virtual Lessons
Virtual dog training helps us support you with any behavior, no matter where you live. We can dive deep into your puppy’s first week and month at home, develop a plan to ease your dog’s anxiety or fears, reduce reactivity, and build confidence. Our trainers are passionate and successful with tricks, nosework, loose leash walking, and soothing adolescent angst. It’s more than a phone conversation as we dive into body language, your handling skills, timing, and reinforcement strategies. We believe in virtual training because our own virtual journeys have helped us grow and become better teachers for you and your pup. 50-minute lessons. $148 per session. 4 lessons for $495.
Testimonial “We wanted to share that we’re doing well as a family of four. Thanks to Jordana for coming out and talking through some of our concerns and setting realistic expectations. Willie is curious about the baby but usually is happiest keeping a little bit of distance. He really enjoys when everyone goes on a daily walk if his extra wiggly butt waiting at the door is any indication. Thanks again for all of your support and for helping us navigate this new change. “— Heidi, Dog Trained Client
