Private Dog Training Lessons in Oregon
In Portland, Blackwood Canine offers private lessons for dog training.
Our experienced trainers work closely with you and your pet, providing the knowledge and skills you need to achieve your goals for training. Whether you prefer one-on-one attention or if your dog does not do well around other people or pets, our private lessons provide the perfect environment for maximum comfort and success.
What Are Private Dog Training Lessons?
During a private lesson, dog trainers work directly with one client and their pet (or pets, if you wish to train with multiple dogs). Sessions can be conducted in your home, at the training facility or, in some cases, in another offsite location, such as a park.
You can schedule your lessons for dates and times that make sense with your schedule, rather than trying to plan your life around a dog training class schedule. We encourage clients to include every member of their household in private training sessions. This helps ensure consistency and improved outcomes.
During private lessons, dog trainers work with both the pet and their owner. The key to having a responsive, well-trained dog is communication between animal and human. This highly focused environment allows you to develop that communication with your dog, opening up a whole new world of possibilities.
When Are Private Lessons Beneficial for Dog Training?
If you have ever participated in or observed a group dog training class – especially a puppy class—you understand the potential level of chaos that environment invites. Group classes can be great for socialization (at least sometimes) and, if the number of dogs in a group class is very small, trainers may make some progress. Nevertheless, it’s not always the most effective method of dog training.
Private lessons allow you and your dog to derive the maximum value of working with a professional trainer.
One-on-one private dog training ensures that you and your pet don’t have to worry about any distractions. Your trainer’s focus will be solely on you, letting you fast-track the process and reach your goals as quickly and affordably as possible. If your dog has behavioral issues around other people or pets, private lessons are one the only ways to provide access to professional trainers.
