Master the Basics: In Home Training for Obedience & Manners

Your dog's best behavior starts at home. We bring expert, personalized obedience and manners training right to your door. Say goodbye to disruptive habits and hello to a well-behaved companion you can trust, in the comfort of their own environment.

Pros of In-Home Training:

• Real-World Reliability: Training takes place in your dog's actual living environment, directly addressing issues like door-dashing, counter-surfing, and excessive barking where they occur, ensuring skills transfer immediately to everyday life.
• Maximum Convenience: No travel required! The trainer comes to your house, fitting sessions more easily into your busy schedule.
• Focused, Personalized Attention: The session is 100% dedicated to your dog's specific needs, temperament, and behavioral challenges, leading to faster, more targeted results than group classes.
• Family Inclusion: It’s easy to involve all members of the household—including children—ensuring everyone learns the proper techniques and consistent commands necessary for long-term success.
• Tackles Specific Contexts: You can focus on skills critical to your home life, such as polite greetings when guests arrive, relaxing on a 'place' while you eat dinner, or walking calmly out the front door.
• Reduced Distractions (Initially): Training starts in a low-distraction environment, which is ideal for puppies or dogs easily overwhelmed, building a solid foundation of understanding before introducing outside stimuli.
• Flexible Pacing: The training schedule and pace are set according to your dog's learning speed and your personal availability, ensuring a comfortable and effective experience.

Ready to invest in change that lasts? We provide the guidance, structure, and support you need to make meaningful progress.

When it comes to making a lasting change, a single session, no matter how insightful, simply isn't enough. Think of a single session like a one-time workout. You might feel great right after, but you won't see long-term results without consistency.

That's why our multi-session approach is designed to support you beyond that initial moment of motivation. We break down the process of change into manageable steps, allowing you to build new habits and skills over time. Instead of a single, intensive meeting, our sessions provide a structured framework for reinforcement, practice, and personalized feedback.

• Build on Progress: Each session builds on the last. We use a step-by-step process that allows us to revisit what's working, troubleshoot challenges, and fine-tune your approach in real-time.
• Create New Habits: Lasting change isn't just about understanding a concept; it's about embedding new behaviors. Our multi-session format provides the necessary repetition and accountability to turn new actions into lasting habits.
• Sustainable Results: Sustainable change is about learning to navigate setbacks and celebrate small victories. With a multi-session plan, you'll have the dedicated support needed to create changes that stick.

We Use Modern, Proven Methods

We believe that training should be a positive experience for both you and your dog. That's why we use force-free, science-based methods that focus on positive reinforcement. This approach builds a strong bond and teaches your dog to make good choices because they want to, not because they're afraid of being punished. Our training is not only effective but also fun for your dog.

We Focus on You

Training a dog isn't just about the dog—it's about teaching you, the owner, how to communicate effectively. We don't just train your dog for you; we empower you to become an expert handler. Our sessions are designed to give you the skills and confidence you need to manage any situation, whether it's at home or out in the world.

We Have a Deep Understanding of Dog Behavior

Dog behavior can be complex and confusing. We have extensive experience and knowledge in understanding why dogs do what they do. This allows us to create personalized training plans that address the root cause of the behavior, not just the symptoms. Whether you're dealing with a new puppy or a dog with serious behavioral issues, we're here to help.

Private Lessons are non-refundable and non-transferrable. We do not offer refunds on unscheduled lessons. All sales and payments are final.

One Smart Dog, LLC reserves the right to terminate the training contract at any time before or during its term if Trainer determines that a danger exists to the health and safety of the public, Trainer, owner or dog. Should the Trainer or Owner terminate the training contract at any time prior to completion, all fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Contracts for on-going training are automatically terminated if we do not hear from the client for a period of 90 days.  After 90 days, on-going training contract will cease.  No refund will be issued for any lessons or classes remaining on contract.

Client Cancellation/Rescheduling: Cancellations made less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled consultation may result in forfeiture of the session fee.

Our services are not guaranteed. Dog behavior is not static and can change over time due to developmental periods, aging, and health. Pet owners influence their dog’s behavior and must do the assigned training homework for optimal results.

Clients are responsible for providing the necessary materials needed for training. Including, but not limited to: treats, toys, leash, collar, harness, etc.

One Smart Dog uses reward-based methods that are backed by science to modify your dog's behavior.  Because a reward makes your dog more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog’s behavior.  The use of pain, fear, or intimidation may lead to fear or aggression.

All no-show sessions will be forfeited automatically. There is $25 no-show fee that must be paid after a missed appointment within 24 hours in order to continue training.
