Owners often hire a private dog trainer because they're having trouble with house training, digging, chewing, destructive behavior, crate training and leash pulling. Or, perhaps your pet lacks social skills with other dogs, people in your home or visitors and they need help with socialization.

You can try to stop these behaviors on your own — like curbing that incessant barking or pulling Spot down when he jumps on visitors who walk in your door. However, if problematic dog behaviors continue, a professional, private dog training may be the fix your pet needs.
While group classes are a cost-effective option, private in-home dog trainings have additional benefits. They can help your pet learn good behavior in the environment they're most comfortable in and familiar with. They also allow your pet and the trainer to focus on specific things you want to train your dog or puppy on. It's especially good for dogs and puppies who may be shy or fearful, which is common among rescue dogs who may be taking a little longer to adjust to their new home.
Before you hire a private dog trainer, think about the behavior modifications you hope to get out of a professional trainer session, as well as how experienced you want the dog trainer to be.
