Why Private Training?
Private training allows Leonard to focus entirely on your dog and your specific situation.
There are no group classes and no generic training programs. Leonard works directly with you, your dog, and the behaviors you're actually dealing with in everyday life.
If your dog needs more intensive training, Leonard can also determine whether the 3-Week Doggie Boot Camp or another training program would be a better fit.
