Private lessons are a great option for dog owners who may be unable to attend weekly group training classes. Private lessons allow our trainer to come to your home and coach you in the proper methods of training and reinforcing your dogs behaviors. We commonly find that even small mistakes in reinforcement and communication create problem behaviors in dogs that can be extremely frustrating for owners. Private Lessons allow our trainers the opportunity to see you interact with your dog in your own home and explain proven methods of training and problem solving.

Our Alabama trainer also offers group classes that are a great way to learn how to train your dog in an setting that is designed to allow for optimum interactions with new people, dogs and new environments.

Our group classes are offered Puppy, Basic and Advanced programs.

We specialize in dog behavior modification training to help owners remedy difficult and frustrating problems such as: jumping on people, pulling on the leash, biting, nipping, fear, growling, resource guarding, dominance, territorial aggression, fighting and more! Because our emphasis is on dog behavior problems, we are quite successful in rehabilitating dogs that other trainers and dog behavior specialists decline to work with. We also welcome what are often considered to be difficult and hard to train dogs or breeds. Our expertise with "common" and unusual behavioral problems provides us the opportunity to work with discouraged dog owners with the assurance that we can make a difference and allow them to create a lasting, satisfying relationship with their previously problematic dog!
