Sometimes having the instructor’s undivided attention is necessary.
In a group class, all students are entitled to a portion of the instructor’s time thus diluting the attention alloted to each participant. Group classes also provide many levels of distraction, sometimes too much distraction.
Private lessons offer a low distraction environment in which to learn new behaviors and skills.
This environment is particularly useful when working on new skills with a high energy, excitable, easily distracted dog. It is mush easier to reach a level of competence and control working with low distraction initially, than when you add too much environment all at once.
Private lessons are also necessary, in addition to group classes, for those competition dogs and handlers working on precision and timing in complex exercises or for new handlers who need extra coaching.
Topics include but are not restricted to:
- House training and home management skills
- Obedience training
- Off-Leash obedience and special skill training
Polishing performance in the competition obedience and rally . Dog conditioning and jump training for competition.
