Private Puppy Training Package

English Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Personalised Puppy Training in Melbourne

Some dogs and their guardians thrive with one-on-one support. Whether you want to focus on specific training goals, work at your own pace, or simply prefer learning outside a group environment, private dog training offers a flexible and tailored solution.

We take the time to understand your pup’s unique personality, your goals, and your lifestyle, then work together to build skills in a calm, supportive setting. Our private sessions cover the same foundation skills taught in our group programs, with the added benefit of focusing on what matters most to you.

Private Training Is Ideal If You

  • Prefer a quieter learning environment

  • Want individual guidance on core skills like recall, loose lead walking, and polite greetings

  • Have a busy schedule and need flexible training times

  • Would like to start strong with a new puppy or rescue dog

  • Need support building your confidence as a guardian

We use kind, reward-based training that builds your dog’s trust, strengthens your bond, and supports long-term success. You’ll gain practical skills you can use every day and enjoy the learning process along the way.

Private sessions can take place in your home or at one of our training locations. You can also combine private training with any of our group programs.
