What are Private Lessons?
Private lessons are customized training sessions where we work on your specific training goals and challenges. The first training session is an initial evaluation. I get to meet the dog, asses the behaviour and root cause of any problems, and make a tailored training plan. The lessons will take place in Diemen or at your home, depending on your dog's specific needs.
Costs: €60 per lesson
Duration: 1 hour
location: Diemen (ask me about home visits if you feel like that suits your traininggoals better)
Benefits of Private Lessons
Getting to the root of the problem
When you choose to work with me, you can be sure that we will change the behavior from within. I do not teach quick fixes or short lasting solutions. Although the results can be super fast and visible after just one lesson, real behaviour modification takes time. We adress the emotions and feeling of the dog to ensure that the need for problematic behavior will disappear. That way, the behaviour will not come back when you stop using treats or toys or other rewards. We work on real, long lasting results, teaching the dog skills he can use for the rest of his life.
Tailored Training for your dog’s specific needs
Every dog is unique. What works for one dog doesn’t always work for another. Private lessons provide the opportunity to optimize the training for the specific needs of you and your dog. We’ll explore the root cause of the behavior, what motivates your dog, and how to teach the desired behavior. Whether it’s teaching basic commands or addressing problem behaviors like leash pulling or aggression, the training will be adapted to you and your dog.
Stronger bond and better relationship with your dog
By working together with your dog and using positive training methods, we strengthen the bond between you and your dog. This training method helps your dog see you as a valuable person, that he can trust when a situation or trigger makes them feel uncertain or anxious. This boosts their confidence, allowing them to grow and make better choices independently. As a result, your daily interactions and communication with your dog will become easier and more effective, and problematic behavior will quickly be replaced by desired, stressfree behavior.
Are private lessons something for me?
Private dog training lessons are suitable for various situations:
- Behavioral issues such as aggression, anxiety, excessive barking, or destructive behavior.
- Dogs struggling with obedience, not listening or not responding well to commands.
- Pulling on the leash or problems with walking.
- Socialization problems with other dogs or people.
Because private lessons are fully personalized, they can be valuable in almost any situation.
What Can I Expect from a Private Lesson?
During the private lessons, you and your dog will receive individual guidance. You’ll train together with me, whilst I give you feedback, track your dog’s progress and provide specific exercises to work towards your training goals. We start with the basics: teaching a new communication system, clicker training, and motivation. Then we’ll go on to work through challenging situations and triggers for your dog. You’ll learn how to handle all the daily situations you may encounter and how to teach your dog to calmly and stress-free navigate these situations.
Additionally, you’ll receive practical tips and exercises that you can apply at home, so you can continue working on the training outside of the lessons. Regular feedback ensures you know how to best continue the training. If you have any questions or run into challenges at home, I’m always available via email or phone to help get you back on track.
