At First, Training Your Dog Can Seem Like A Daunting Task.
It is often hard to know where to start – do you work on the basics like sit and come or is counter surfing and leash walking the first things to tackle? Frustration can easily set in on both ends for you and your dog!
Here at The Confident Hound, we understand these challenges and want to help you overcome them. We offer positive reinforcement training that can make the process easier and more enjoyable for both of you. With our help, you will be able to create a strong foundation for a lasting relationship with your furry friend.
How At-Home Training Works
Tell Us About Yourselves
Submit an online form so we can learn more about you, your dog, and your training needs. We'll respond via email with next steps or provide a referral if applicable.
Meet Your Dog Trainer
We begin with a consultation to discuss your dog's history and your training needs. Your trainer will build a training plan that targets your goals, provide educational resources, and prescribe solutions for you to start implementing.
Learn How To Train
All training occurs in the comfort of your own home. We’ll meet weekly to teach YOU how to train your dog. You will learn techniques and games that help replace unwanted behaviors with new habits you both love.
Enjoy Life With Your Dog
You'll have the peace of mind of a more predictable life with your dog. Plus, you will feel confident in your own ability to continue their training. If new goals arise, we'd love to help you reach them!
Consultations are priced at $150.
