Our one on one dog training packages are for those dog/family teams that thrive on the convenience of lessons planned based on their schedule and which allow for fully individualized attention. 

In addition, some situations, such as setting your pup up for in home success prior to attending class, and resolving fear, separation, and aggression issues, are addressed in private lessons rather than in a group class.

Advice and more

A little more about our personal training

Private dog training provides one-on-one sessions tailored to your dog’s unique needs.

Training Session Structure

The structure of Andrea Arden’s training sessions is designed to be highly customizable, tailored to fit the specific needs and behaviors of each dog. This personalized approach ensures that each training session addresses the unique challenges and goals of the dog and owner, making the training process more effective and engaging.

One of the standout features of their training sessions is the emphasis on positive reinforcement, which keeps the training enjoyable and rewarding for the dog. Short, engaging sessions help maintain the dog’s interest, ensuring that learning remains fun. This approach helps in building a positive association with training, which can lead to better retention of the learned behaviors.

Consistency in commands is crucial for effective learning. Andrea Arden’s trainers teach the use of consistent techniques across sessions. This consistency helps the dog understand what is expected of them, reducing confusion and reinforcing desired behaviors more effectively.

Selecting the right rewards is key. Trainers choose rewards that motivate the dog, ensuring effective reinforcement. Whether it’s a favorite treat, a beloved toy, or verbal praise, the right reward can make a significant difference in the training outcome.

Safety precautions and tests ensure the training environment is safe and comfortable for the dog. This includes conducting tests to gauge the dog’s comfort level and adjusting the training methods accordingly. Prioritizing the dog’s welfare fosters trust and security, making the training sessions more effective.

Challenges and Adaptations

Andrea Arden’s sessions come with challenges. Adapting to different behavioral issues, such as aggression issues or separation anxiety, can be complex. The trainers’ ability to adapt their techniques to meet these challenges is crucial for the success of the training.

Flexibility is key to addressing diverse issues. Trainers modify methods based on the dog’s individual needs and responses. This adaptability ensures that the training remains effective, regardless of the specific behavioral challenges faced by the dog.

Observational Studies and Emotional State

Observational studies emphasize the importance of the dog’s welfare and emotional state, highlighting the benefits of positive reinforcement. Dogs trained with this method tend to be happier and more eager to learn, which can positively influence a dog’s behavior.

Focusing on the dog’s welfare importantly fosters a positive relationship between the dog and owner. This foundation of trust and mutual respect is essential for long-term success.
