Private & Semi-Private Training!

Contact Montana C. Hayes at (847) 997-4707 or E-mail

Scheduled by appointment at your location or mine.

This is a great opportunity for you, your family and your dog to get some one-on-one instructional time. I come to your location and evaluate your dog's temperament, behavior and learning style. All lessons include Temperament Testing, Behavior Evaluation, and Modification.You might be at "I just got a puppy and now what do I do?" or "Help, my dog jumps on everyone, bites and barks all the time." Whatever it is . . . we work with you to help fix the specific problems you want addressed. We go over the must-have behaviors for a well-mannered companion dog. I anticipate that dogs and owners will be at different levels of training and have different behavior issues. It’s not just the dog who learns—it is you and your whole family. Two (2) or more dogs, please add $50.00 per dog per session.

All classes scheduled at your convenience.

FIRST PRIVATE/SEMI-PRIVATE LESSON—2 HOURS IN LENGTH

This initial session is required to evaluate and review your dog and families needs. Prior to the appointment time we ask the owners to make out a list of everything they want to cover, ask, be evaluated and reviewed, this included nutrition, health and house manners. My responsibility will be to educate and demonstrate appropriate way(s) to handle current problems along with circumventing potential troubles.

UNLIMITED TRAINING SESSIONS WITH AND WITHOUT THE OWNERS

Must be followed by two private sessions with the family. One dog at a time only. Your dog will have one on one time with me. The value of this program is that the owner(s) and I can work out an intensive program over a 3 month time period without getting the cost of training out of control. These sessions include: group classes, private classes, day trips, going to dog park and beach if appropriate, and training sleepovers for up to three days unless otherwise discussed. Minimum length of single lesson is 1 hour. Maximum sessions within this 3-month time period are 25 sessions.
