What is In-Home Dog Training?

In-home dog training simply means a certified dog trainer comes to your house instead of you coming to a classroom. Some people search for private dog training or dog training at home, but the idea is the same here: one-on-one training built around you and your dog. 

Training your dog where they actually live makes a real difference. If your dog jumps on guests at the front door, gets too excited in the kitchen, or won’t settle down in the yard, that’s exactly where we’ll work on it. In-home dog training lets us use your dog’s real environment instead of a training room they’ve never seen before.

Why Choose In-Home Training?

In-home training is a good fit if you want something simple and convenient. A few reasons families choose it:

  • You don’t have to load up the dog and drive anywhere. The trainer comes to you, so lessons happen in the space your dog already knows.
  • It’s one-on-one the whole time. There’s no group to keep up with, and every minute is spent on your dog and your goals.
  • It fits around your life. Morning, evening, weekday, weekend, we work around your schedule instead of asking you to build your week around a class.

It’s a nice option if a group class just doesn’t line up with your schedule or your household. Private, in-home lessons give you individualized training built around your dog, your goals, and your home environment.

Real Clients, Real Stories

See what our happy clients have to say about Leader of the Pack!
“Leader of the Pack’s approach is positive and realistic.”

“We learned effective tools and techniques to get a better handle on our very active Australian Cattle Dog. Leader of the Pack’s approach is positive and realistic. Positive in the sense that she doesn’t use choke collars or do any shock treatments! The focus is picking a word that you assign to certain behaviors and train the dog with treats and praise to understand what you want them to do. Realistic in the sense that she understands that your dog is your pet and part of your pack, and though you need to become the leader of your pack, as owners we weren’t scolded for wanting our dog on the couch or to sleep at the bottom of the bed or to give them love–just make them earn it first with a few quick commands. All around, it worked out great! We did 4 sessions and we really feel we have better control over our dog and our pack is happier because of it!!!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in-home dog training?

It means a trainer comes to your house and works one-on-one with you and your dog, instead of training in a classroom or group setting.

How much does private dog training cost?

Private lessons are $200 an hour. We also offer package programs, like Leader of the Pack 101 and the Housebreaking Program, at a discounted rate if you’d rather book a full plan up front.

Do you offer in-home training for puppies and behavior issues?

Yes. In-home lessons work well for housebreaking a new puppy, basic obedience, and behavior issues like jumping or door dashing, since we’re training right where those habits show up.

Is in-home training right for my dog?

If you’d like one-on-one attention without working a group class into your schedule, in-home training can be a good option for many dogs and owners.

What happens during an in-home training session?

During an in-home dog training session, the trainer works directly with you and your dog in your home and surrounding environment. The session is tailored to your training goals, whether you’re working on obedience, puppy training, housebreaking, or specific behavior concerns.
