Day Training During In-Home Lessons
Day training is a great option when you want your trainer to work directly with your dog first, then teach you how to keep the behavior going between lessons.
This format works best when your trainer spends about 45 minutes establishing or strengthening the behavior with your dog, then brings you in to practice the same skills with coaching. You’ll leave knowing what to do, how to reward, and how to continue the work between sessions.
How Day Training Works
1. Book an in-home lesson package
Day training falls under our regular in-home lesson options.
2. Tell your trainer you want day training
When you schedule, let us know you’d like the trainer to work with your dog first, then coach you at the end of the session.
3. Your dog gets focused trainer time
Your trainer works directly with your dog for about 45 minutes to build the behavior.
4. You Learn the System
You’ll step in at the end to practice and learn how to continue the work.
What This Looks Like in Session
A typical session is structured like this:
• First: focused training with your dog
• Then: guided practice with you
• After: clear plan for what to work on between lessons
This approach helps jump-start progress while making sure you’re fully equipped to maintain it.
Best For:
Day training works especially well for:
Loose leash walking
Puppy and adolescent skills
Confidence building
Polite greetings
Settle/place training
General manners around the home
Expectations
Day training helps establish behaviors quickly, but long-term success comes from practice between sessions.
Your trainer builds the foundation — you turn it into everyday behavior.
