private training
Are you experiencing some behaviour concerns with your pup, or have specific training goals? Private Training sessions with a Jimmy’s Park trainer begin with a few simple steps. Simply fill out our Training Inquiry Form (which typically takes less than 15 minutes to complete) so we can get you coordinated with a trainer ASAP for a consultation. Consultations are priced at a flat fee of $45 and last up to one hour. We understand that sometimes you may not feel like jumping into a full Zoom meeting, so there’s no pressure to video chat - our trainers are happy to give you a phone call if that’s your preference! During the consultation your trainer will ask follow up questions to your questionnaire answers. This is so we can make sure we have a full, clear picture of what you’re experiencing with your pup and can begin planning immediately after your meeting. Typically within 48 hours your trainer will reach out with a summary of your discussion as well as their recommendation and potential training plan.
If we feel that we are not equipped to handle your particular case, we’re still here to help! We will assist you in researching another professional to refer you to and ensure you’re getting the best care possible. Most frequently though, your trainer will include their suggestions going forward and propose a few initial goals they will work on with you in sessions going forward. Typically we recommend no more than one session a week, which will include homework and your trainer is always an email or message away if you need any support or encouragement. We’re your community members, after all! Private training sessions are priced at $106 per 1 hr session and can increase per the trainer’s hourly rate if additional time or booking a second dog is requested. Note; if you would like to book an additional dog you must have one handler per dog at the lesson.
These sessions are most appropriate for dogs who are experiencing behavioural problems such as resource guarding, reactivity, or shyful behaviours - however if you feel like you would benefit from one on one sessions that focus on obedience, tricks, leash walking, or recalls please let us know! Are you bringing home a new puppy soon and want to make sure your home and family are prepared? We are happy to devise a custom curriculum just for you and your pup and meet in person, virtually, or a hybrid of the two. Our team is also equipped to work with therapy dogs and service dogs - our very own Director of Training and Behaviour is a SD handler themselves and experienced in training tasks related to; medical alert (cardiac, diabetic, anxiety), mobility assistance, and PTSD/CPTSD. As a citizen of the US you are entitled to train your own service dog and we can assist on this journey on a case by case basis. We are also able to test for the AKC Canine Good Citizen certification, S.T.A.R Puppy, Tricks certification, and more.
