PRIVATE TRAINING & BEHAVIOR CONSULTING

Force-Free Training and Behavior Consulting

for St. Croix River Valley, WI Families

Is your dog’s behavior more than you can handle?

Does your dog bark or lunge (or worse!) at unfamiliar people or dogs? Is he terrified of loud noises, riding in the car, or unexpected new things? It’s a stressful way to live, for both of you.

With compassion and kindness, we can help your dog learn that our world isn’t so scary, and teach him to cope with his fears in different ways. Our certified behavior consultant will help your pup become the best version of themselves.

Why Upward Hound private training?

Private training is a great option for families who want one-on-one attention for them and their dog. You’ll have focused, personally tailored training that works towards your unique training goals.

What we can help with: 

Leash Skills

Do you feel like you’re walking a demon whenever your dog sees another dog, a squirrel, a car, a kid on a bike, or…?

Barking and Lunging

Do your dog's reactions alarm you a little?

Fear of Strangers or Dogs

Is your pup scared of or reactive to unfamiliar people or dogs? Does he rarely come out from under your bed, or hate your husband?

Resource Guarding

Does your dog get a little scary when you try to take their toy? Pick fights with his siblings?

We can help!

How Private Training Works

  1. If you want to make sure we’re a good fit, schedule your free Zoom consultation.

  2. If you’re ready to dive in, schedule an initial behavior consultation. We’ll discuss your dog’s history, your behavior priorities, get any immediate fixes in place, and discuss your long-term training options.

  3. If you want long-term support we’ll put a plan in place with training packages, and help train through follow-up sessions.

The bundled training package you choose will be based on the strategy we develop during our initial behavior consultation. It will reflect your training budget, the type of behavioral issue to be tackled, and the amount of training you want to do yourself.
