Contrary to some beliefs, a well-trained dog is a happier dog. Trained dogs are less likely to receive “punishment” and can more easily navigate crowded areas and chaotic situations. Plus, professional training provides pet owners with some much-needed peace of mind that their dogs will stay by their side regardless of what’s happening around them — even off-leash.
At Sit Means Sit Austin, we invite you to take control of your dog’s training, safety, health and happiness by enrolling them in our private dog training classes.
What’s Included in Private Dog Training Lessons?
The thought of training your dog on your own can be overwhelming for many people, especially if they’ve never had a dog before or a trained one. At Sit Means Sit, a private instructor will work with you and guide you through the training process, allowing you and your dog to relax as you build trust and gain confidence.
Our experienced professionals will meet you in a space that’s comfortable for your dog, whether that’s our training center, your home, the dog park or anywhere else your dog can learn. During each hour-long session, your trainer will tailor the course to meet your dog’s specific needs, ensuring you get what you’ve paid for and so much more.
The Advantages of Private Training
When you choose Sit Means Sit Austin for private dog training, you’ll experience benefits like:
- Customized training plans: Because our private lesson programs are one-on-one, our dog training focuses on your precise concerns from the beginning. Need your dog to stop barking at neighbors or want them to channel their aggression in a healthy way? We’ll create a program that prioritizes those goals.
- Training at your own pace: Sign up for one or two lessons or plan them for months in advance. Your trainer will give you an idea of how long it may take for your dog to internalize the lessons, but it is up to you how long you want to practice skills. Even a few sessions can bring long-term results.
- Long-term lifestyle training: Once your pooch has a firm handle on their training, you can start incorporating it into your daily life. Your trainer will want to hear all about how your dog reacts outside of training so they can adjust your plan as needed.
