Private Dog Training in Columbia, MD
Not every dog and not every person is suited for group classes. Some dogs are simply too stressed, distracted, or aggressive to be safe and productive in a group environment. Also, while group classes follow a specific training outline, private lessons can be tailored to your individual needs.
All of our private lesson instructors undergo rigorous training programs to ensure that they are capable of handling any dog in any situation. Perhaps more important, is that they are trained to teach the dog’s owners. Placing the focus on instructing people of all learning styles gives them a unique capability to alter the lesson plan according to the needs of both the owner and the dog. Their training is unparallelled to any other mentor or training program anywhere in the country, and is overseen by Andrew Wildesen directly.

Dog Training Private Lessons at a Park
We may recommend meeting clients at a public location for certain dogs that would benefit from dog obedience training in that environment. In those situations, we will set up training events at locations that best suit your needs.
Owners and dogs will need to demonstrate that they are ready for this challenge, so this option is only available after multiple training sessions.
The most common meeting place for private lessons is:
Western Regional Park in Glenwood, Maryland
Other locations may be available. Please contact us for more information.
