Select a lesson, then Barbara confirms the time

  • 30-minute privates work well for one focused issue or a tighter tune-up.
  • 1-hour privates give more room for handling, repetition, and larger problems.
  • Select the lesson length here, complete checkout on this page, and Barbara follows up to lock in the exact lesson time.

Best when a group class is too much or too broad

  • Useful for leash work, recall, routines, barking through class, or reactive-dog cases.
  • Puppy foundations can cover handling, crate routines, house-training support, and calmer home habits.
  • Good for dogs that need a quieter working setup before joining a class.
  • Helpful when the handler needs direct one-on-one feedback instead of general group coaching.
