Focused Choice Private Dog Training - Lynchburg, VA

Member since Nov 2020

Lessons are one hour long, with lots of hands on instruction with the trainer. Can be tailored around what your dog’s needs and goals are, with flexibility to work around your schedule. Private Lessons are perfect for the new dog parent, the busy family and anyone else who enjoys a catered, self-directed learning environment.
I also have a board and train program.

My board and train program takes the "ruff" out of being a dog owner!
Get relief from house training accidents, puppy biting, and all that endless energy. Your puppy or dog will learn how to relax in her crate for a little downtime (for her and you!), keep her needle-sharp teeth to herself, potty in the right places, respond to her name, and settle when you ask. She will explore the outside world with field trips to safe, dog friendly places (dependent on vaccinations)! She will have access to a fenced in, shaded back yard along with trails and fields across the street and best of all she won't be crated for any extended period of time since her time here is all about her!

Please contact and book my private dog training services on Petworks. Thank You.
