Yes, owner participation is required for both private training and group classes. The goal is to teach you how to communicate and train your dog effectively. The only exception is the Walk & Train service, which requires at least one private session first.

Each private training session lasts 45 to 60 minutes, depending on your dog’s progress and engagement. Training sessions are typically held weekly.

Group classes provide structured training and a great opportunity for socialization. They are especially recommended for first-time dog owners and young puppies.

Private sessions may be a better fit if:

  • Your dog is reactive or struggles with distractions.
  • You prefer a flexible schedule.
  • You want to focus on specific behavior issues.

If you’re unsure, I can help you decide which option is best for your dog.
