1-1 PRIVATE LESSONS
Lessons are held Monday-Friday
American Kennel Club Approved
A person and dog sharing a mutual focus is the key to strengthening that friendship and becoming a team! This skill is gained through games and confidence building exercises. Each lesson is 1 hour. We start at our climate controlled training studio, at my home in Cartersville.
Puppy and dog training lessons are held one-on-one.
During the lesson, I'll explain and demonstrate the commands for the week with your dog then you'll practice with him/her. At the end of the lesson, you'll receive the week's homework. The more time that is spent working on the cues and desired responses the more successful your relationship with your dog will be. At the next lesson, you'll be asked how the week went and to demonstrate what you've worked on before we'll move on to the next set of cues.
Through dedication, at home practice, and positive foward teamwork I guarantee you'll see successful results each week.

5 Star Review!
Alisha was amazing with my Bernedoodle. I told her my concerns and she immediately went to addressing them. I now have a well mannered pup that I don’t have an issue taking with me when I go places. I highly recommend her for all your training needs.
