Dog Training Sessions Overview

I am based in Cary, NC and I provide private, customized, in-home training. The private sessions might take place in your home, around your neighborhood, in the back yard, or at a dog park depending on the issues you would like to address.

Hours

I work around your busy schedule and am open every day except for Sundays and Mondays. Your appointment can start as early as 10am and late as 6pm. Here are the options that I offer for training.

Closed: Sundays and Mondays
Hours: 9am - 730pm start times
Please note: These hours might change depending on the time of year.

Session Details

Single Session (1 Hour)
Normally we'll spend a few minutes discussing strategies for the session before I begin. I'll then demonstrate humane, effective strategies for any dog training topic you have. Then I will watch you and your dog work together on the skills that I showed you and coach you so you can continue working with your dog on your own in future training sessions. I can adjust the session to any topic you want to discuss. I will also mention dog behaviors that I notice and offer suggestions to fix or increase proficiency of a behavior.

5 Hour Package (4, 75-minute Sessions)
These sessions may focus on general training or specific issues. One benefit of the 5-hour package are the detailed notes and training strategies tailored to your needs to keep as reference. At the beginning of each session, we'll confirm that your needs have remained the same, and then we will prioritize accordingly

Pre-baby Planning Package
I can help you and your dog adjust to the arrival of a new baby. I can help teach your dog important skills before your baby arrives, along with sharing strategies to keep in mind when your dog and baby meet for the first time. You can choose the 4 or 10 session package to plan for the big day.

New Dog Preparation/Consultation
In this two-session package I can help your family prepare for a new dog with discussions of care, feeding, housing and planning for your new addition to the family. In one visit I will provide a thorough sense of how to prepare your home and family for your dog, and in a visit after the puppy or older dog has arrived I will check on progress and help you troubleshoot in order to provide the best possible start for you and your dog. I will come for one visit before you get your dog and one visit after. We can also customize a package based on your needs.

What to Expect?

I will help focus your efforts and put you on track to success. There are so many competing viewpoints that can overwhelm anyone that hasn't had the years of experience that I offer. I will provide humane, effective suggestions and walk you through the process. I will show you the effective, logical and humane way to work with your dog to get the success that you want.

What My Clients are Saying

"Jeff is fantastic! He is an incredibly knowledgeable trainer. He helped us with our 3 year old pitbull that we adopted 6 months ago. She is a fantastic dog, but on walks when meeting other dogs she gets too excited and sends the wrong energy to other dogs (and owners). This results in her and the other dogs she encounters getting agitated. Through Jeff's desensitization techniques we have been able to begin to address her over-energetic tendencies. It's a work in progress to reverse 2.5 years of bad/no training she received at her previous owners, but my husband and I feel prepared and well-equipped to continue training her on our own thanks to Jeff."

"We cannot say enough good things about his attitude, wealth of knowledge and passion for what he does! It was a pleasure working with him and if we need a refresher we will hire him again without hesitation."
