Private Lessons
At Willow Creek Dog Training, we offer customized, one on one training designed to create real, lasting results. Each program is tailored to your dog’s behavior, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Whether you’re working on basic obedience or more complex behavioral issues, our focus is on clear communication, consistency, and building a strong relationship between you and your dog.
A Personalized Approach
Every training plan is designed specifically for you and your dog.
Your first session is a combination of a detailed consultation and hands on training. We take the time to understand your dog’s history, behavior, and any challenges you’re facing, then immediately begin implementing a structured training plan. This allows you to start seeing progress from day one.
Training That Works in Real Life
Our goal is not just a dog that listens during training, but a dog that listens at home, in public, and in everyday situations.
Training Sessions Are Structured To:
-
Build clear, reliable communication
-
Create consistent behavior at home
-
Prepare your dog for real-world environments
Owner Coaching & Support
A well trained dog starts with clear leadership.
A key part of our program is coaching you, the owner, so you feel confident handling your dog outside of lessons.
You’ll Learn How To:
-
Communicate effectively
-
Apply training techniques correctly
-
Reinforce behaviors consistently
This is what creates long term success.
Ongoing Progress
Training is a process, not a one time event.
Follow up sessions build on your dog’s progress, introduce new challenges, and refine behaviors as your dog improves. Each session is adjusted to keep you moving forward.
We offer both package options or pay per lesson. Package balances must be paid in full at the time of purchase. Custom Packages can be made.

•Reactivity

Follow Up Lessons:
Ongoing sessions focus on building new behaviors, improving reliability, and progressing toward real life results.
Training Programs:
Lesson packages are available and recommended for behavior cases to ensure consistent progress and long term results.
5 Lesson Package: $675 (One Dog Initial Lesson + 4 Follow Up Lessons)
