Private Training Courses

Private Training

We know that finding time to attend dog training classes can be difficult with all the other responsibilities and activities the typical family has these days, so save the strain on you and your time by scheduling private training with a Bonafide dog trainer! We will develop a training plan specifically for you and your dog. Puppy owners may want help with housebreaking, nipping and teaching Puppy basic behaviors while dog owners may need help polishing leash manners on walks or stopping incessant barking. Whatever you need to help your dog become a happy, well-adjusted member of the family, we will help you meet your goals!

Private sessions can be held either in-home or at our facility. The number of sessions will vary depending on the training plan and the number of behaviors addressed. Call us at 402.250.9452 or e-mail us for more information!

Cost:  $150.00 per session

Out-and-About Puppy Training

The first four months of your puppy’s life are critical when it comes to him developing key social skills and behavioral foundations. What happens in those 16 weeks will impact him for the rest of his life. Once those weeks go by, it is impossible to completely make up for his developmental deficits. Unfortunately, many owners simply don’t have the time to provide puppies the regular, appropriate socialization experiences the young dogs so desperately need during those first few months in their new homes. Out-and-About Private Puppy Training is designed specifically to fill that void in your puppy’s life experiences while giving you a head start on your puppy’s training.

Your puppy will learn:

  • How to travel quietly in a vehicle in a crate
  • How to calmly be away from family and other dogs in the house for short periods of time
  • How to appropriately interact with new environments, people, and other dogs
  • Basic good manner skill foundations – sit, down, come, off, give, polite walking, potty on leash, nipping

You will receive:

  • A puppy with a phenomenal start to life as a great family companion in your home!
  • An opportunity to provide your puppy a break in his day to get out of the house, relieve himself, and have some fun learning important life lessons
  • Videos of training sessions uploaded to a private YouTube channel so you can review exactly how to train your pup between private sessions
  • A one-on-one session at the end of the session package to review your puppy’s progress and discuss how to maintain your puppy’s new skills

With Out-and-About Private Puppy Training, we will start to train and teach you how to maintain the social skills and good manners your puppy will gain from this experience!

This is a VERY limited session package currently based on daytime trainer availability. It is recommended that you reserve your package PRIOR to bringing your puppy home to be sure he gets the training he needs, when he needs it!

*** NOTE: Mileage charges apply for sessions outside the Omaha metro area

Pre-Requisites:

  • Puppy under 16 weeks old and current on vaccinations
  • Well-fitted buckle collar and fixed-length leash
  • Selection of treats your puppy loves

Out and About Adult Dog Training

In order to behave well in public, a dog must be trained in public. He needs to learn how to behave everywhere, every time. This means you need to take your dog out and about for his training sessions if you want him to be a truly well-rounded, well-behaved family companion. But with all the demands on your time, it may be hard to carve out the time it takes to do this type of training. Out- and-About Private Dog Training is the answer to getting your dog the training experiences he needs out in the real world. A trainer will work with your dog for approximately an hour each session, in a different location each time, to enhance and refine his understanding of the basic obedience skills you’ve already started with your dog.

Your dog will learn:

  • How to travel quietly in a vehicle in a crate
  • How to calmly be away from family and other dogs in the house for short periods of time
  • How to appropriately interact with new environments, people, and other dogs
  • To apply basic good manner skills – sit, down, come, off, polite walking, potty on leash, greet people politely – in a wide variety of situations, tailored to your lifestyle and individual needs

You will receive:

  • Individualized professional training to help your dog continue to improve his basic obedience skills
  • An opportunity to provide your dog a break in his day to get out of the house, relieve himself, and have some fun learning important life lessons and perfecting obedience skills
  • Videos of training techniques uploaded to a private YouTube channel so you can review exactly how to work with your dog between private sessions
  • A one-on-one session at the end of the session package to review your dog’s progress and discuss how to maintain your dog’s new skills

This is a VERY popular but VERY limited session package. Enrollment is based on daytime trainer availability. It is recommended that you reserve your package at least one month in advance to be sure your dog gets the training he needs, when he needs it!
