Private Dog Training Lesson Location Options
We offer our Private Dog Training Lessons in these formats!
Lessons at Our Facility: We teach lessons at our facility for all sorts of behavior goals, from raising a new puppy to navigating behavior challenges like reactivity. We have set up our facility to help you and your dog be most successful right from the start - and then increase the difficulty by moving to harder environments when your dog’s skills are ready! These lessons are valuable even for resolving behavior that “only happens at home” - we’re pretty good at being creative and creating productive practice opportunities in our training room for any goal!
Lessons at Your Home (& Other Fort Collins Locations): We teach lessons at your home - or other applicable dog-friendly locations around town. This service is available on a more limited basis than our facility lessons, but if you feel like this is the right choice for your dog and behavior goals, let us know and we’d love to discuss this with you! Please note that we do have an additional travel fee for lessons further than 4 miles from our training facility. Note: Most of our students start in lessons at our facility and move to out & about lessons or home visits for advanced lessons.
Virtual Dog Training Lessons: Held online wherever you are in the world! Lessons are held via Google Meet and include discussion, demo, training video and plan review, and more.

Virtual Dog Training FAQs
-
We schedule our session just like any other appointment, except that we meet virtually in a Zoom Video Conferencing room. We go in-depth about your goals and challenges with your dog(s), and then we work out a training plan. Just like our in-person lessons in Colorado, this plan may include multiple components including, but not limited to, Management, Training, Behavior Modification, Enrichment, and Exercise. For follow-up sessions, we discuss progress and further challenges and then move on to the next step of the training plan when you and your dog are ready.
-
For any homework that we want to give you and your dog to work on together, we will discuss this in detail during our session (we're really good about explaining things hands-off - we practice this at our in-person sessions with reactive dog students every day!) and also provide you with any applicable handouts and video links for additional support.
-
Whether we meet once or multiple times, we are available to answer emailed questions about any of the things you are working on with your dog that we covered in our session! If your question can be answered in under 5 minutes, we’ll happily do that between our other sessions. If you have videos for us to review, or need a longer explanation or more detailed modification to your behavior training plan, we can schedule an “offline” lesson on our calendar (charged to your package or card on file) to get you that detailed email & video review support!
-
Our passion is teaching humans how to teach their dogs - because of this, we practice a mostly hands-off teaching approach even with our in-person clients. We believe that the real, lasting change comes from improving your confidence and know-how in your dog training skills and thus boosting your relationship with your own dog - something that can't always be achieved as easily when handing over the leash to a dog trainer and letting them build that rapport with your dog instead. So while there are certainly a few skills and challenges that may be more difficult to fully master in the online session format (and we have a great referral network of trainers all over the country for those cases!), we are certain that whatever the scenario, we can help you make progress to your goals with your best adventure buddy.
