Home School Training & Behavior
Modification and Training Programs


Do you ever ask yourself, “I wonder if there is a dog trainer that could come and live with me to see what my dog does all the time?” Home School Training with the Whole Dog Training team is your answer to that question, and is designed to meet your behavior and training needs, right in your own home for extended periods during the day.

This unique service addresses most behavior problems, and helps you overcome problems with solutions that work for both you and your dog. And, since most behavior problems happen in the home, it makes perfect sense to address and treat the problem where it is taking place.

Whether you need help with housetraining your new puppy, or impulse control issues with your older dog, our trainers will be on the scene to help you work with your dog. We will come to your home and spend up to 3 hours per day helping your dog live peacefully in your home using modern, stress-free training and behavior modification techniques. It’s like having your own personal Dog Nanny to help you analyze and treat your dog’s behavior and training issues.

In Your Home, Five-Day Behavior Consultation Package

This package can also be used for behavior-specific, problem solving (barking, housetraining, etc.) where we focus on implementing specific changes in the area in question, rather than using the time for evaluation and testing.

Our training team will come to your home, appraise your situation, and isolate your dog’s needs while we initiate the necessary behavior and training modification program needed to suppress the unwanted behavior while training your dog what to do instead. During the 5-day program, we will spend up to three hours with you and your dog focusing on training, household management and prevention.

In addition, we will provide you with a daily plan to follow for the hours your trainer is not there. Five days is usually enough time to begin the transformation of your dogs’ specific problem behavior. We will also teach you how to continue modifying the old, unwanted behaviors, while reinforcing the new, desired ones.

Included is on-going phone support and one follow up visit within a month.

Cost: $1,500
