Whether you’re addressing specific behavioral issues or looking to improve your dog’s manners, our private training services are designed to focus on you and your pup’s unique needs. We provide tailored solutions that make life more enjoyable for you and your dog, creating a harmonious relationship built on trust and communication.
Behavioral Training
If your dog struggles with anxiety, fear of grooming, or challenges with other dogs, our behavioral training focuses on tackling these issues in a calm, manageable way. We’ll help you address anxiety and stress by providing techniques to reduce fear and build confidence. If your dog has trouble with socializing or reacts negatively to new situations, we work at their pace to desensitize them and teach calm responses. We also help with resource guarding (like food or toys), reactivity, and big feelings like over-excitement or frustration, using proven methods to ensure your dog learns positive behaviors that last. Our training helps your dog relax, decompress, and handle the world around them more comfortably, making everyday life more enjoyable for everyone.
Obedience Training
In addition to behavioral training, we also focus on improving your dog’s obedience. This includes teaching basic manners at home and in public spaces, recall (coming when called), walking calmly on a leash, and improving your dog’s overall behavior. Whether it’s teaching your dog to stay calm in new environments or reinforcing good behavior during daily walks, we provide the tools and strategies needed to create lasting, positive changes.
Initial Remote Consultation
ALL private training services, whether behavioral or obedience-focused, require an initial remote consultation. This 1-hour session with certified trainer Alex Hawk includes:
A full assessment of your dog’s behavior and areas to work on.
A tailored management, enrichment, and training plan.
Insight into the science of how dogs think, learn, and communicate.
Helpful resources such as training handouts, Amazon equipment lists, and more.
Access to the AHDT Hotline for ongoing support.
Membership in AHDT Community Connect and access to Pack Walks.
We offer training in three flexible ways after the consultation:
Weekly Private Sessions: Private sessions with you and your dog, addressing specific behavior or obedience goals and ensuring consistent progress.
The Daily Method: Stay in contact with Alex daily through text, video, calls, and video calls. This method allows for more intensive, hands-on support as you work on training with your dog.
Bootcamp: Your dog will undergo daily one-on-one sessions with Alex, who will work closely with them to build habits that you will continue with your dog at home, ensuring long-lasting behavior change.
