The Canine Ranch

Private Lessons

Private or Semi-Private Lessons

Private or Semi-private lessons can be scheduled for weekday, weekend, or evening appointments.    Sharing of lessons allows students of similar skill levels to share one hour of training, at a reduced cost to each.   

Obedience

Private lessons allow individuals to focus only on the goals their dog needs, and by-pass the curriculum that they have already achieved.   We tailor each lesson so that your dog learns quickly, and you understand correct timing, delivery, rewarding, and correcting all of your obedience commands such as sit, down, stay and come.

Obedience lessons at The Ranch can be scheduled in 30 minute increments, which may work better for your schedule than attending a four week class.   Comparatively, a 4 week 30-minute private lesson can be very practical at only $15 more than a 4 week group class.

Behavioral

If your dog suffers from any of the following conditions, please contact us immediately. All of these conditions can be changed with training, and most owners see results immediately.

• human aggression (lunging, biting, snarling, etc.)
• dog aggression (on or off leash)
• car chasing
• manners such as door bolting, jumping, nipping, play biting, or counter surfing of food items
• uncontrolled walking habits, pulling and lunging
• submissive urination or marking in the house
• crate anxiety
• separation anxiety

Please note that most behavioral lessons must be done in-home, so that we can re-create each skill in the dog’s natural environment.   

Dog Sports

Most of the dog sports that we offer are available for private lessons, including Frisbee, Dock Diving, Agility, Obedience, Rally Obedience, Nose Work, and Lure Coursing.

Please keep in mind that all services at the Ranch are by appointment only, so please call 678.493.8040 or email stay@thecanineranch.com to book your appointment.
