One-on-one private training for dogs with behavior challenges offers immense value by providing personalized attention and customized science-based strategies tailored to the specific needs of the dog and humans. Unlike group settings, private training allows us to focus on your dog’s triggers and challenges, helping us develop targeted behavior modification plans. Private training is effective in addressing anxiety, over-excitement, reactivity, and aggression, which require a nuanced understanding of each dog's environment and experiences. It also provides a safe, controlled environment where both the dog and owner can work closely with a certified professional, helping ensure lasting behavioral changes.

Private training always starts with an initial consult with you and your dog at the Good as Gold training facility, where we will explore behavior challenges, training goals, and start to develop a tailored behavior modification plan. After the initial consult, you will meet with us once per week in the Good As Gold facility to work with your dog and assess progress on the training homework. You’ll learn how to address unwanted behaviour and support the development of new behaviors. You’ll also learn a systematic training protocol to help address the underlying issues regarding challenging behaviors.
