Why D&G Dog Training?

4, 7, or 10 Session Packages, 1 hour each
​
You should be able to take your dog anywhere and have it be an enjoyable experience for you both. Private lessons are a great way to focus in on a particular challenge your dog is facing or to learn a new skill that will benefit you both.
​
We focus on teaching dog and people “neutrality”, which is the process of teaching the dog to maintain composure and keep its focus in challenging situations around other dogs or people.
We’ll start with a 2 hour introduction lesson where we’ll learn the issues you’re dealing with and the goals you’d like to achieve. We’ll then create a tailored plan with our recommendations and path forward to achieve the best outcome for your dog.
