Private Training
Initial Consultation & Follow Up Training Sessions
Think of the first Training Session as a fact finding appointment. We ask questions that will assist us in setting up the perfect training plan. This time allows us the opportunity to observe your family and your puppy/dog interactions. When in your home (inside and out) it gives us the opportunity to personalize your lessons to your family and home. From there we can set up a "specialized program for you and your family"!
Great way for new Puppy/Dog Parents to get started off on the right foot from the very beginning! Prepare and set up your new best friend and family for success and safety!
Follow Up Training Sessions depend on your family's goals and puppy/dog's needs. Future lessons may range from 1, 2, or 3 for easy issues (examples: jumping, door rushing, leash pulling, polite greetings, and house training to name a few) &/or basic training (learning a foundation of basic cues), or multiple lessons for more difficult issues (examples: more complicated behavior issues/behavior modification program, advanced training, or multiple personal training goals) as our goal is to set you up for success!
The Initial Consultation is required for all new Clients (people/puppy/dog) to The Right Steps.
Private Training offers Clients convenience and the benefit of having 100% of your Trainer's focus on you and your puppy/dog's needs. Private Training is offered: In-Home, Off-Site (real life locations), or at our Indoor Training Facility in Fair Oaks (coming to us is a way for Clients out of our Travel range to be able to train with us &/or avoid the additional Travel Fee). Private Training is great for Clients who want to be part of their puppy/dog's training!

If you are looking for your puppy/dog to be part of your family we are the Trainer for you (however, if you want a back yard/outside dog & are not willing to change we are not the Trainer for you....please understand dogs are pack animals by nature and want to be 'with' you/their family, being left outside <over 50% + of the time> can lead to problem behavior <barking, digging, running fence aggression, & destruction to name a few> due to boredom and lack of human contact). If you have the goal in place to get your puppy/dog from the back yard inside your house with your family, we are the trainer for you.
