Private Dog Training
We love our dogs, but they can be a lot of work on top of our already busy lives! We’re juggling work, family, and a world that’s constantly changing.
If your dog is struggling, group classes might not be the best option! Private training actually helps YOU get a calmer, better-behaved dog. (You’re picturing your dog walking calmly on a leash next to you, aren’t you?)
I use positive-reinforcement training to get the fastest, most lasting results for you and your dog. The more your training progresses, you’ll learn other motivating rewards that aren’t only food. (I know I work for food, don’t you?)
If you’re looking to become your dog’s alpha or pack leader, my training isn’t for you! 😉 If you want to have a great time with a dog who happily and calmly works with you, let’s get going.
Introducing
Training That Works
All programs are customized to you and your dog’s needs and goals. We will begin with a 60-minute virtual or in-person training orientation, which is $150.
At this orientation, we’ll work together to set specific, achievable goals and carve a personalized path to reaching them. We’ll build this plan around your household and lifestyle in addition to your dog’s specific needs. You’ll receive a custom management and training plan to show you the steps to take.
If you choose to pursue training, personalized sessions will be billed at the rate of $125 per 60-minute session. Discounts are available for packages of five (5) or more sessions. We will check in together every four weeks to visit your dog’s successes, and struggles, and modify your plan as needed.
Who's it for?

Training Options
On Demand Training
Do you want to go through training on your own? I offer on-demand training courses to guide you through every aspect of training your big-feelings dog.
Coaching
You learn to train your dog. We’ll meet once each week in your home. I’ll show you how to work with your dog for maximum effectiveness and provide you with the week’s training assignments.
Day Training
I’ll train your dog in your home for you, getting them ready to show off and practice their new behaviors with you at an end-of month coaching session. Best for overwhelmed dog owners who need the fastest relief.

Packages will be finalized at the orientation session to make sure your particular needs are met. Sample packages include:

Jeri's skilled and patient training helped Jamie (and us) to manage his fear of going to the vet. Now, we’re able to get Jamie to the vet without incident. Plus, he’s just a fool for her! (As are we.)
Carolyn, Nancy + Jamie
Jeri is a patient, persistent, and phenomenal trainer and dog walker. She has helped our dog, Shelby, go from unable to walk our neighborhood to, at times, the most well-trained dog on the street!
Garrett + Shelby
Jeri is an excellent trainer who loves dogs and dogs love her. She helped us learn techniques to control Charlie's pulling, barking, and jumping at dogs and people when walking.
