Trainer working one-on-one with a dog on leash during a private lesson

Private Lessons & Combined Programs

One-on-one coaching built around your dog’s goals — at our facility, the farm, or in your own home.

How it works

Personal attention. Real progress.

Private lessons give you personalized, one-on-one instruction with one of our trainers — customized to your needs and goals, whether that’s basic obedience or working through a behavioral problem. Lessons can take place at our Martinsburg facility, at the farm on Poorhouse Road, or in your own home.

For dogs that thrive in a social setting, our combined packages pair private instruction with the dynamic environment of group classes — the individual attention your dog needs plus the real-world distractions that make training stick.

The Family Dog Program

One-on-one instruction plus a Basic Obedience Group Class — perfect for dogs without significant behavior problems that need solid manners. Your dog must be under control to move on to Group Class; additional private lessons can be added as needed.

Advanced Training + Group Class

A more extensive private-lesson program with a six-week Basic Obedience Group Class session. A good fit for rowdy dogs that struggle with mild reactivity or impulse control in stimulating environments, but don’t quite need Behavior Modification.

Behavior Modification

Our most intensive package: eight one-hour private lessons, a six-week Group Class session, a remote trainer system and access to our Wednesday Social program if appropriate. For severe fear, reactivity, aggression and resource guarding — built from a detailed plan around your dog.

Honesty matters to us: with behavior modification, no trainer can guarantee complete elimination of negative behaviors. What we can promise is obedience, management skills and consistent progress that make life with your dog dramatically easier. 10% military, police & first-responder discount; multi-dog family discounts available.
