    Private Session

    Ideal for personalized attention or unique goals โ€” our Private in-person sessions identify goals, then create and execute a training plan. These sessions are not for reactive or fearful dogs, which require special training outside the scope of Greater Dog. Start by requesting a free 15-minute phone consult via our Contact Page. If itโ€™s a good fit, weโ€™ll schedule a 50-minute session.
