Virtual dog training (also known as remote or online training) involves connecting with a certified professional dog trainer via video conferencing platforms (like Zoom or Google Meet). Instead of meeting in person, the trainer guides you, the owner, on how to train your dog in your own home or environment.
This method is highly focused on owner education, empowering you to become your dog's primary trainer.
Virtual dog training is often significantly more cost-effective than comparable in-person or private, in-home training sessions.

This 30-minute introductory session is a chance for you and your dog to meet your Trainer and map out the specific behaviors you'd like to address. Your Trainer will start by observing your pet's current behaviors and will introduce one or two foundational cues
These four 30-minute sessions are designed for comprehensive learning. We will teach multiple cues and practice them in diverse environments with increasing distractions, helping your pet generalize their skills. This package also includes dedicated time to address unwanted behaviors and ensures successful follow-up on your primary concerns.
With eight 30-minute sessions, we have the capacity for deep, comprehensive training. We will introduce and solidify multiple cues, rigorously practicing them across various settings and distractions. This package provides the necessary commitment to successfully modify persistent unwanted behaviors and includes ample follow-up to ensure your initial training concerns are completely resolved.

Virtual Dog Training conveniently allows you to train in the comfort of your own home or anywhere there’s an internet connection. It’s also a great option for shy or reactive dogs who would not do well in a group class setting.
Sessions are 30 min in duration.
You can schedule your first session when you book online, and then work with your Trainer to schedule future sessions on different days and at different times if you like.
We use Google Meet.
You can use any device that has internet service, a camera & microphone and can access Google Meet. We recommend using a larger device like a tablet or computer rather than a mobile phone. We also suggest using wireless headphones.
Each time a session is scheduled, you will receive a meeting invite with a link to join your upcoming session.
To make the most of our time, please prepare by ensuring your dog is secured with a properly fitted collar or harness and a reliable leash. Gather a selection of bite-sized treats (the tastier, the better!) and a few cherished toys. For convenience, we highly recommend a treat pouch to keep rewards accessible, and having your dog's bed or mat nearby provides them with a known, comfortable spot for needed relaxation.
