Private Coaching

At CleverDog, coaching is designed to build emotional stability, reliable skills, and confident partnership — whether we’re addressing overstimulation at home or laying foundations for sport performance.

This work is steady, progressive, and tailored to your dog’s individual needs.

Personalized, structured training for driven dogs and thoughtful humans.

Who Private Coaching Is For

Private coaching is a strong fit for:

• Bright, driven, or easily overstimulated dogs
• Owners committed to thoughtful practice
• Teams building foundations for everyday life or sport
• Those seeking clarity over quick fixes

If you’re looking for structured guidance and steady progress, you’re in the right place.

How It Works

Private coaching begins with a brief inquiry form. This allows me to understand your goals, your dog’s temperament, and determine whether we’re a good fit to work together.

If aligned, you’ll receive next steps and a link to schedule your 90-minute Strategy Session.

Step One: Submit an Inquiry

The Strategy Session lays the foundation for our work together.

During this session, we:

• Assess your dog in context
• Clarify priorities
• Implement foundational skills
• Create a structured training roadmap

Investment: $225

Available in-home (local clients) or virtually.

Step Two: Strategy Session (90 Minutes)

Following your Strategy Session, coaching packages support steady skill development and meaningful behavior change.

Coaching may focus on:

• Emotional regulation and threshold management
• Focus, impulse control, and engagement
• Foundational life skills
• Early agility or performance foundations

Progress is layered intentionally so skills remain durable and reliable.

Step Three: Ongoing Coaching

Coaching Programs

Following your Strategy Session, ongoing coaching is delivered in a structured, biweekly format designed to support steady, sustainable progress.

Each coaching program includes:

• One 60-minute in-person or virtual skill session every two weeks
• One 15-minute virtual check-in each week
• Video review and targeted feedback between sessions
• Individualized planning and structured skill progression
• Clear homework and ongoing adjustments

The length of support is determined by the complexity of your goals and the time required for meaningful, lasting change.

After reviewing your inquiry and completing your Strategy Session, I will recommend the coaching commitment best suited to your dog and your goals.

Coaching commitments are paid in full at enrollment to ensure dedicated scheduling and continuity of support throughout your coaching period.

Coaching commitments are intended to be completed within their designated timeframe to maintain continuity and progress. A reasonable rescheduling window is built in to support life’s occasional interruptions.

Private coaching is offered in a limited number of ongoing client spots to ensure individualized attention.
