Private Training Sessions

From basic obedience to more specialized training and behavior modification, my training sessions are custom tailored to meet your dog's needs.  Training methods are effective whether you have one dog or many!


My training is based on mutual trust and respect using dog psychology. When we better understand how a dog is hard-wired, we're better able to communicate effectively.


Training sessions will get you and your dog on the right track behaviorally, thus allowing you to have a harmonious relationship with your canine companion.


I focus on the leadership role you have with your pooch and how to speak and act in the ways your dog will understand.

Bark Avenue Westeren Dog Training believes that you, as the dog parent, play the pivotal role in your dog's balance and well-being. As such you will be expected to have a hands-on, active part in this wonderful bonding process.

Training sessions begin at your home to determine what course of action is best suited for your dog's needs. 

  • First Training Session: Cost $80* Duration approximately 2 hours. I conduct an intake to gather more information about the specific behaviors you are experiencing and what methods you are currently implementing.  It is best if everyone in the home attend at least this first session. Families are better able to be supportive of each other and the training process.

  • Second and Subsequent Training Sessions: Cost $60* Duration approximately 1 to 1½ hours. Subsequent training session locations may vary depending on the behaviors we are correcting. These training sessions may take place at your home or a field trip location.
