Private Dog Training

This is an opportunity for you to learn how to train your dog, supervised one-on-one with a trainer. Hands-on techniques will be demonstrated and reinforced by your instructor.

Private Training Advantages

We are currently open for dog training at our facility in Vacaville where we live. Alan has been training dogs for over 45 years and has been successful in conquering problem behaviors as well as training for AKC, VPG titling, and obedience for the home pet dog. Having been a breeder/trainer of German Shepherd working dogs for over 20 years, he specializes in training the high-drive breeds in obedience. If you have any training problems or just want someone to show you what needs to be done, Alan is the one to go to. Please see our training page for more information.

What Do You Learn In Dog Training?

The goal of basic training is teaching your dog to mind. The general principle is to direct him/her to do what you say at the moment you say it. We approach this goal by teaching commands such as “Sit”, “Stay”, “Come”, “Heel”, and “Down”. Once you have accomplished these commands, other undesirable behaviors can be modified with the same effort and control.

What Does Dog Training Cost?

Alan charges $125 per session. Sessions are private, where the owner and their dog are involved in the training. Sessions are done at our facility and are held in the morning hours for 1 hour per session, weather permitting.

Does Your Dog Misbehave When It’s Dinner Time?

Once he has learned the basic commands, you will be able to tell him to “Go to your place”. He knows you are in control and there are repercussions to his actions.

Is Your Dog Aggressive Toward People Or Other Dogs?

Your consistent training will keep him from attacking others just by using your “Stay”, “Heel”, or “Down” command.

Does Your Dog Make Excessive Noise?

Practicing your techniques of training, you can successfully teach your dog when and where it is appropriate to make noise.

No matter what problems you have with your dog, there is still hope in creating a loving, lasting relationship with him/her. Alan’s canine training will provide the guidance and assistance needed to reach that goal.
