Dog Training Sessions

You can choose between a 30-minute one-on-one session or a structured group session.

All training is focused on real-life behavior — not just commands in a quiet room.

What We’ll Cover

Each session focuses on 1–3 key behaviors so your dog can actually learn and apply them in real situations.

✔ Sit, Down, and Stay
✔ Leash Training and Eye Contact
✔ Leave It and Recall
✔ Distraction Training and Impulse Control
✔ Calm behavior around people and dogs

This is not theory — your dog practices these skills around real distractions.

Requirements

✔ Dogs must be at least 6 months old
✔ No aggression or bite risk (reactivity/excitement is okay)
✔ Bring collar or harness and a standard leash (no retractable leashes)
✔ Bring treats

Why This Training Works

Real Distractions
Your dog learns to listen around people, dogs, and movement — not just at home.

Immediate Feedback
You’ll see what works and how to apply it right away.

We absolutely loved working with Vanessa! She was so patient and understanding with our dog, Somi, and there was already such a huge improvement in 1 session! Not only did we have helpful tips to work on, but we felt more confident on what to do! We highly recommend!!!! ❤️

Vanessa is definitely the best at dog training. She is always on time, in contact & super focused. She gave great advice about training my dog & followed through with demonstration. She did not rush through the sessions & took her time showing me what I should be doing, including picking out items that would improve training. If you want a trainer that you can depend on every time, you can’t go wrong choosing Vanessa.

My adult son and I both adopted rescues and decided to work on obedience training together in joint private lessons. It was so much fun to do this as a family. The trainer, Vanessa, was outstanding training both the dogs and their humans. I was impressed the dogs listened to her immediately and she taught us the proper commands, positions, and habits to continue their training. We met once/week for five weeks. Homework was effective and included reference videos. Vanessa was highly accessible and responsive to questions. My 18 month husky/golden enjoyed working with the long leash for both recall and off-leash work. After just two lessons, she’s able to sit/stay with many distractions, including at a busy park. My son’s 7 month old border collie absolutely loved the enrichment. He thrived with the lessons and slept well those nights! Vanessa was so kind to come to our home and help with interactions with older dogs as well. We will absolutely use her again. Highly recommend.

Vanessa was amazing. She helped us resolve our top 5 concerns with our almost 4 mo puppy in one session! She also worked with our kids to help them handle puppy playful biting and jumping. No nonsense approach, very practical, no clicker needed (the sound drives me nuts!). She came to our house -which means puppies don't even need all their shots yet. Definitely recommend!

Vanessa is brilliant and highly skilled. She is sweet but also professionally firm with our puppy.And our puppy is making so much progress. More importantly, she is very patient and clear and thorough training me and my wife and son on how to reinforce the training sessions. She responds to questions and communications promptly. We could not recommend her more highly.

Vanessa is such an awesome trainer. Despite having previous dog ownership experience we needed help with our mini poodle rescue who struggled with house training, leash reactivity, bolting out the door and poor recall. Vanessa not only gave us hands on training but really equipped us with the skills and confidence for ongoing training at home. She was also excellent with teaching my kids how to participate and train our dog.

Our sessions with Vanessa were really great. Behavior training for my puppy with her techniques has been wonderful. Training in different environments and situations has been so helpful with obedience and overall behavior and has been remarkable. Thanks again Vanessa.

This is my first time ever working with a Dog Trainer. Vanessa is honest, knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging, and very open to communication. She treats Leo like he’s Special. And as his mommy, I appreciate that. She trained my husband and I as much as she trained our pup. The lessons were effective, flexible, and never rushed. Vanessa always told us what she wanted us to use, and checked with us so that we were always on the same page. If we didn’t have what we needed, we used hers until we did ,because she wants to make sure that everyone has the tools for success. She made the experience personal and yet remained professional. I highly recommend her and we are signing up for a second set of lessons to continue helping our baby grow and mature responsibly. We trust Vanessa with Leo and that is the highest recommendation we can provide.
