What private lessons get you
You hold the leash and Aaron coaches you both, starting in your home and moving out to parks, dog-friendly stores, and public places.
In your own house first
We start in your dog’s most comfortable environment so you see the real dog. Aaron shows you exactly how he’d set your house up for success if it were his dog on your schedule.
Practice for walks and recall
Aaron coaches recall, leash skills, and work around distractions. Discuss your goals for walks and public places, then practice the handling between lessons.
Know how your dog thinks
Most importantly, you’ll understand the philosophy of why your dog does what it does, and how to get them to do what you want them to do.
