One-on-One Sessions

You and your dog learn together at our Downtown Salisbury Location

Here's how it works:

With One-on-One Private Training at the Center, you and your dog learn together at a pace you are comfortable with.
Personalized programs, flexible scheduling.

Together we work as a team to help your canine be balanced and well-adjusted in the home.   After each session, you will receive what we went over and the importance of practice what was learned in your instructions.

My techniques are easy to understand and have shown to be successful with past clients and their dogs. I can customize training to fit your needs, from basic or advanced training techniques to problem-solving specific behaviors.

Understanding our dogs is the 1st step and how to communicate with them is the 2nd step. No matter if you have a brand-new puppy or a 10-year-old mixed breed, all dogs can be taught their role in the household, so they are content and happy dogs.
