Foundational Obedience
Sit, down, stay, place, come — taught with the level of reliability that holds up under real-world distractions.
Private Lessons
One-on-One. Tailored to You and Your Dog.
Private lessons tailored to your dog's specific needs, temperament, and where they are in their training journey. Work one-on-one with Robin to address what matters most — so your dog can thrive in your daily life.
Private lessons are about teaching you as much as teaching your dog. Robin works alongside you so the cues, timing, and read-the-dog skills become yours — meaning the behavior you want sticks long after the lessons end.
What's Covered
Leash Handling
Loose-leash walking, polite greetings, and how to actually enjoy walks with your dog instead of bracing for them.
Clear Communication
How to read your dog and how your dog reads you — the small cues that change everything about your dynamic.
Behavior Modification
Reactivity, fear, anxiety, jumping, pulling, ignoring commands, destructive behavior — addressed at the root, not just managed at the surface.
How It Works
- Session length
- Approximately 1 hour
- Cadence
- Weekly, typically over 6–8 weeks
- Homework
- You'll get specific, doable assignments between sessions — 5–10 minutes a day, not an hour.
- Between-session support
- Phone and video support so you're not stuck if something comes up between lessons.
- Video feedback
- Send Robin a clip of what's happening and get coaching back — useful for the moments only your dog shows when no trainer's around.
Best Fit For
- Owners who want to be hands-on through the entire training process.
- Dogs with specific issues that need targeted, weekly work — reactivity, leash pulling, jumping, recall.
- Households with kids or multiple handlers who all need to be on the same page.
- Owners who learn well from real-time coaching and want to build their own dog-handling skill, not just outsource it.
Investment
Robin offers private lessons as packages so you've got a clear plan, not a session-by-session question mark. The right package depends on what you and your dog are working on.
