Miss Vicky Dog Trainer

Training is delivered through private, in-home sessions tailored to the dog’s specific needs. Each session lasts about one hour and involves both the owner and dog. Miss Vicky begins by assessing the dog’s behavior and goals, then guides the owner through hands-on training using positive reinforcement. Packages include multiple sessions to build consistency. Training covers basic obedience, socialization, potty training, leash walking, recall, and behavior modification. Owners are taught how to continue training at home with feedback and guidance provided in each session.
