Which Dogs May Benefit From Private Training?

Private training may be appropriate for dogs that need structured work on foundational or advanced obedience, leash manners, responding to commands, or dog-to-dog reactivity.

The appropriate program depends on the dog’s behavior, current skills, and the owner’s training goals. Dogs with aggression, reactivity, or other significant behavior concerns should be matched with an appropriate behavior-focused program.

Private Training vs. Board & Train

Private lessons involve direct owner participation and practice between training sessions. Richmond also offers separate in-home lesson packages for owners who prefer training at home.

Board & Train provides a more immersive format in which the dog boards with a professional trainer. Neither option is universally better; the right choice depends on your dog’s needs, training goals, schedule, and preferred level of involvement.
