Private Puppy Training Package
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.
