In Home Dog Training

What Does Our Private Dog Training Address?

Our in-home dog training program can solve any behavior problem, from pulling on the leash to housebreaking to biting.

Even if your pup has an issue most would consider mild, like leash-pulling, jumping, or barking, it’s best to get some basic obedience training. It makes your life easier and helps to keep your pet calm and secure. Basic training also prevents these problems from escalating into more serious issues.

If your dog has more severe behavior problems like growling, biting, or lunging, Hampton Roads Dog Training can help with that, too. These problems usually develop from a place of fear and anxiety, and we aim to alleviate your pet’s stress by putting you in control and offering them a consistent and structured form of handling.

Rather than aggravate your dog, putting you in control actually puts them at ease. Dogs thrive on structure, and hierarchy is the most important structure in their instinctive minds. By establishing you as the leader, we simplify their lives and yours. By offering a consistent schedule and reliable environment, we help them and you to relax.

In-Home Training Sessions & Proven Training Methods

Performing the initial consultation in your home allows us to view your dog’s exact problems in the exact context you see them every day. This allows us to better build a program that will work for you.

The training itself also takes place in the home, where you and your pet feel most comfortable, and since you will be doing the majority of the handling, your dog learns to see you as the leader from the very start. You learn as your dog learns, and by the time they are trained and we step out of the picture, your dog will not have to experience that transition period back to their home or back to their owner that so often allows for relapse.

And we don’t step out of the picture until your dog is fully trained.
