PRIVATE LESSONS

"My goal is to help you better understand and teach your dog so he or she can be a valued, lifelong companion."
- TRACI MURDOCK, CPDT-KA

PRIVATE TRAINING

Because fitting dog classes into your busy life is sometimes too much, I also offer private lessons. Personal coaching works well for busy owners who appreciate convenience, focused instruction, flexible schedules, and the ability to work at a self-directed pace.  I take pride in providing my clients with personalized attention and professional instruction that is based on the most up-to-date knowledge about dog training and behavior. My goal is to help you better understand and teach your dog so he or she can be a valued, lifelong companion.

MORE INFO

Private training is tailored to what you want your dog to learn. Whether it's house training or nail-trimming, jumping on guests or stealing your shoes, we’ll design a training plan to meet your needs. I coach you to train your dog – I’ll show you how, help you along the way, and follow up between sessions as needed. My training methods are positive, progressive, and very dog friendly. You'll love the simplicity, your dog will love the attention, and you'll both love the results. No more struggling to get your dog's attention and cooperation. You'll be delighted with your dog's progress and will look forward to each lesson.
