Private Training

PRIVATE IN HOME TRAINING WITH RICK

Lessons are conducted in your home.

I get calls daily from dog owners at their wit’s end. Some common problems I hear and can help with in private training include:

• Arrival of new puppy
• First time dog owners
• Dogs having accidents in the house

• Not coming when called
• Pulling on leash
• Going wild when someone is at the door

• Nipping and mouthing people and clothing
• Jumping on people
• Counter surfing or grabbing shoes, socks, etc.

I always tell them they’ve called the right person and I can help.

With over thirty years of dog training experience, I am here to LISTEN INTENTLY TO YOUR PROBLEM and call on my years of experience to GIVE YOU THE TOOLS TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR DOG.

Being proactive instead of reactive enables you to solve just about anything. I’ll show you how!

Training Package options

  • Pre Puppy Consult

    Getting your first puppy or it’s been a while since your last dog. Start off right with our Pre-Puppy Consult.

    With this 1.5 hour consult I can help you:
    • Save time and money in your preparation. I’ll recommend products and necessary accessories so you have the right equipment and supplies vs unneeded stuff.
    • Set everyone up for success by getting you on the same page – consistency is one of the most important tasks with a new pup.
    • Formulate a schedule for house breaking and crate training.
    • Prevent problems such as mouthing and jumping from the start so it doesn’t become a bad habit.

    Getting a new puppy should be fun and not frustrating. Let me help you and your new dog do it right from the start.

  • T.Schiaffino

    Rick changed our lives. He had to train us virtually for the first few weeks, but was able to teach me what to do and what not to do with CoCo. I couldn’t believe what I didn’t know. He is so caring and so knowledgeable. He knows exactly what to do with any situation in regards to training a dog. Thanks!

  • Real World

    Are you ready to take your training to a new level? In the Real World package, we build on what your dog has learned so that you can get out and enjoy life together. 
     
    This package can be customized to suit your dog’s particular issues and your training goals, building on and polishing your dog’s training. For example, we can work on refining leash manners so that you can easily walk your dog to the school bus, park, or field, which are great ways to get your dog the exercise and stimulation he needs. Want to feel confident in your Recall and having you dog come in a variety of situations and distraction levels? The Real World package is just for you.
