1:1 private sessions

Whether getting a puppy off to a good start or getting a grasp on behavioral issues with an older dog, private sessions offer a tailored approach to address your dog's unique training challenges. SONJA understands that each dog is different and requires individual attention and guidance. During these one-on-one sessions, she will take the time to understand your dog's specific motivators and personality traits in order to shape and encourage their positive behaviors. SONJA will also work to extinguish any less than positive behaviors, helping your dog become a well-behaved and balanced member of your family. By focusing on specific training challenges in a private setting, you and your dog can achieve noticeable progress and establish a strong foundation for a happy and harmonious relationship.

“DogS are heartbeats, not widgets” ~ Steve Stoops

Building a strong bond and fostering meaningful partnerships with dogs is a multifaceted process that simply cannot be achieved through a one-size-fits-all approach. SONJA understands that every dog and every owner is wonderfully unique, possessing their own individual personalities, needs, and desires. With SONJA’s guidance, you will not only learn the necessary techniques and commands but will also cultivate a better understanding of your dog’s behaviors. By understanding and tailoring training methods to your specific circumstances, you and your dog can embark on a journey of trust, respect, and heartfelt connection.
