Dog Training Personalized offers four main training programs. Private Lessons involve weekly meetings with a personal trainer focusing on obedience basics and behavior modification, followed by group classes for distraction desensitization. The Board and Train program is an accelerated, intensive program where dogs stay at the facility for 5 or 10 days, receiving multiple daily training sessions, including remote collar introduction, with follow-up private and group sessions for owners. The Drop-off/Pick-up program provides similar training to Board and Train but allows dogs to return home daily, with training scheduled by the day based on individual needs. In-Home Training offers a convenient option where trainers travel to the client’s home or other specified locations for private lessons and group classes. All programs aim to teach core commands like Heel, Come, Sit/Stay, Down/Stay, improve reaction to outside stimuli, and address unwanted behaviors such as jumping, counter surfing, leash pulling, and running out the door.

Testimonials
“Great experience. Our adult dog needed some retraining and is doing much better. Megan worked with our hectic schedule which was very appreciated. I recommend giving them a try.”
– Lari Graver
“Highly recommend Dog Training personalized. They truly showed us how to interact with our 1 year old GSD. Megan was great at communicating with us and demonstrating how to best train our dog. Our dog is happier because of the training and now gets to go on regular walks without issues!”
– Kevin Vazquez
“Contacting Dog Training Personalized was the best decision we made for training. From the consultation with Steve Dunham to the training with Sami Clark (she rocks!!), we were hooked. You will be too. Sami was very patient and loving with Crosley. Sami was able to train Crosley, and us, with all the commands needed to have a happily trained puppy family. Thank You!!”
