Private Dog Training

Tailored to You and Your Dog

Experience. Expertise. Results.

 

For over 20 years, Mutt Magic Training has helped dogs and their people build confidence, communication, and good manners through our private dog training — one-on-one, on your schedule.

 

Whether you need a single tune-up session or a full course of dedicated in-home work, our private dog training is tailored to your dog’s individual needs — and your specific goals. That might mean off-leash hiking and walking reliability, behavior management, or remote collar training — we’ll build a plan around what you’re working toward.

Why Mutt Magic?

Experience matters.

For more than 20 years, Mutt Magic has helped dogs and their people navigate everything from basic obedience to significant behavior challenges. That experience means we’re not starting with a cookie-cutter training program — we’re looking at your dog, your situation, and what you want to accomplish.

 

Private training should work in real life.

That’s why we train where the challenges actually happen: in your home, on your walks, and in other real-world environments. You’ll learn not only what to do, but how to use those skills when real life gets messy.

 

You’re not just a client.

When you become a Muttmagician, you’re not just buying an hour of training. You’re gaining access to a community built around helping dogs and their people succeed.

 

Experience. Expertise. Results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do private lessons take place?

Private lessons are held in your home or at an agreed upon location, depending on goals. Training happens in the environment where your dog is — which makes the skills easier to carry into everyday life.

What training method do you use?


We follow a Balanced Training philosophy — dogs are taught through positive motivation (treats, toys, or praise, whichever your dog finds valuable), and corrections are introduced only after behaviors have been learned. The goal is clear communication, not force.

How should I prepare for our lesson?

Please do not feed your dog prior to your trainer's arrival. 

Ensure that your dog is secure (leashed or crated) before your trainer's arrival, as well.

What if I need to reschedule?

Let your trainer know ASAP — You will be able to reschedule one lesson within a 6-week course. 

What happens in bad weather?

Most of the time, training will take place as scheduled. In the event that travel or training conditions become unsafe, we may call (at least an hour in advance) if your lesson needs to be postponed. If you don’t hear from us, class will be held as scheduled!

Do you offer anything besides private lessons?

Yes! We also offer group obedience classes and limited Board & Train options. Reach out to learn more.
