Private Behavioral Consultations & Lessons
Sometimes a class is just too hard for some dogs, and they can really benefit from some one-on-one help.
Does your dog absolutely lose control around other dogs? Do you have trouble managing your dog in these settings? Start helping your dog learn how to be a good member of society and meet with one of our behavior consultants. You will learn about why your dog reacts this way, and more importantly how to help change that behavior!
You’ll begin with a 90 minute private consultation at Four Paw Sports, where you will go over your dog’s behaviors and talk about the psychology behind both the behavior and the way to address it. After that, you will continue with private lessons to work on the skills you’re both learning!
