Private Dog Training in NYC & Manhattan

At Home, at one of Our Locations or Virtual

Private dog training gives you one-on-one lessons built entirely around your dog, your goals, and your schedule — in your Manhattan home, at one of our four locations, or online. It’s the right choice for house-training a new puppy, building reliable manners, or working through fear, reactivity, and separation issues a group class can’t address.

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.

When private is the right choice:

Choose private lessons when your dog needs focused attention: leash reactivity, fear and phobias, separation issues, or setting a foundation before joining a class. Many clients combine one or two private sessions with a group course for the best of both.

About our trainers:

We brought positive puppy training and play groups to New York City in 1994 and helped create the first national dog-trainer certification program. Our trainers have decades of combined experience and have authored multiple books on dog behavior — and you may have seen them on Today, Animal Planet, and the Late Show.

Your Choices of Private Dog Training Lessons

Private training can be done by itself or in combination with group classes and/or board and training. One on one lessons can be scheduled in your home (depending on location) or at one of our training facilities or online. For puppy training and basic manners, lessons are $250 per one hour session or a package of three (purchased on the same day) is $675. Virtual/online lessons are $140 per hour and $75 per half hour lesson. For lessons to address aggression, please inquire regarding pricing.

We recommend that packages of three lessons be used within 3-6 weeks, but they must be completed within three months of purchase. For more advanced behavior problem solving, prices may vary. Appointments are available 7 days a week. Please review our cancellation / change policy.
