At Ruff To Regal K9, we understand that every dog learns in their own unique way and that each owner has their own specific goals and lifestyle. That’s why we offer fully customized training programs designed to meet the individual needs of both you and your dog. Our experienced trainer will work closely with you to assess your dog’s behavior, identify key areas for improvement, and develop a personalized plan that is effective, positive, and enjoyable!
Our in-home dog training evaluation provides a comprehensive analysis of your dog's personality, living conditions, and unique needs. The trainer will thoroughly observe their behavior, evaluate the environment, and collaborate with you to understand your training goals. You and the trainer will then create a tailored plan to address challenges and achieve your desired results. (Evaluation is 30-45 minutes)
Depending on your preference and your dog’s needs, sessions can take place in your home, around your neighborhood, or at a local public location. Training sessions are 1 hour long. Typically, training sessions are scheduled once a week, but the frequency is flexible and can be adjusted based on your goals and availability. Ultimately, you decide what schedule works best for you and your dog.
