Private Lessons are one-on-one, hour-long sessions customized to the dog’s goals, with homework required between sessions. Programs include training in sit, down, recall, heeling, crate training, and house manners, with emphasis on distraction-proofing and off-leash control. All programs require a prior free evaluation and current vaccination records.

Testimonials

Red Lantern took over the location of Common Scents and they are back open again for kenneling service. I have never in my 30 years of having a dog received updates on my pet with the different locations i have explored. Knowing the amount of exercise she is getting is heart warming and seeing how happy she is, is awesome!! The team has been great! The new owner Hannah updated the facilities some starting with new flooring.

Red Lantern Dog Training is an incredible place to invest your dog into training, daycare, boarding, or a fun afternoon of any kind. My dog Smokey went through Puppy Preschool and the staff was so attentive to his care, it brought me truly so much joy. The staff cares so deeply for the pets they care for, having people invest into the root of dog training, and I am so thankful for the work that Nick, Suzanne, and Hannah with there team have put into place. The new Ortonville location is MAGNIFICENT and had so much space. Pricing is extremely reasonable and it was such a joy to see how much they truly love investing through training and care into dogs.

We rescued our four year old Bernice mountain dog, Jovie about four months ago. Working with Hannah and taking Jovie to daycare has helped build her confidence and social skills tremendously. Suzanne who is constantly checking in with us, providing us guidance and answering any questions we have no matter what time of day it is. The staff is always so sweet to our girl Jovie, giving her all the love and pets as she would receive at home. Jovie has made friends and it is the cutest thing receiving pictures from staff of her having fun while we are at work.
We also left for vacation recently and unfortunately Jovie got out while staying with family and Hannah, Suzanne, Maddie and Nick dropped everything to help find Jovie. And not only searching day and night they were there supporting our family and keeping my husband and I mentally sane while we made our way back home to help find our girl. We just cannot rave enough about how much we love and appreciate Hannah and her staff. You are amazing people and so good at what you do. We love you and so does Jovie
