In-home dog training is a personalized approach to teaching your dog proper behavior and obedience right in the comfort of your home. Rather than attending group classes or sending your dog away for training, an expert in-home dog trainer comes to you, tailoring the lessons to suit your dog’s specific needs and environment.
During these sessions, trainers work closely with both you and your dog to address behavioral issues such as excessive barking, jumping, leash pulling, or aggression. At Koru K9, our trainers focus on building a strong bond between you and your dog using balanced training techniques that reinforce good behaviors and correct unwanted ones.
The beauty of in-home dog training lies in its convenience and effectiveness — no need to travel anywhere or adhere to set class schedules. Plus, being in familiar surroundings can help reduce stress and anxiety for both you and your dog during the learning process.
This personalized dog training program is best suited for: dog obedience training, leash reactivity, excessive barking, rushing the door or jumping on guests, counter surfing, territorial behaviors, anxiety, separation anxiety, or pre-baby preparation.
Our private, in-home dog training program is a great option for the “do it yourself” types or owners who want to be heavily involved in the dog training process. This is not ideal for busy owners who cannot commit consistently to training their dog and doing the homework. This will require daily work, and, the more you put into this program, the more you get out of it; commitment and consistency is key for successful results!

In-Home Dog Training consists of the following steps:
Our Initial Onboard Session is 1.5 to 2-hours, and consists of a consultation with you, assessment of your dog, and hands-on training with you and your dog. We will conduct a detailed interview about your dog’s history and behavior, assess your dog’s behavior, and discuss your training goals. We will design a dog training plan to efficiently and effectively train and/or modify problem behavior. Most owners will start to see results after this first training session.
After the Onboard Training Session, we will work with you and your dog privately in approximately 60-minute training sessions held either in your home or in real-world settings. We offer single-session rates or discounted rates for 3-, 5-, 7-, or 9-sessions. Contact us to learn more about how our in home dog training program works.

From fear-based aggression to obedience struggles, we create customized training solutions for lasting change
| Aggression | Fear & Anxiety | Obedience Issues |
|---|---|---|
| Dog-to-dog aggression | Fear based behaviors | Pulling on leash |

The duration of in-home dog training can vary depending on several factors such as the dog’s age, temperament, the specific behaviors being addressed, and the dog’s environment.
For some dogs, a few sessions may be sufficient to correct minor behavioral issues or teach basic obedience commands. However, more complex behavior problems or advanced training goals may require ongoing sessions over an extended period.
It’s important to remember that each dog is unique and will progress at their own pace during training. Patience and consistency are key elements in achieving successful results when working with a professional in-home dog trainer.
Ultimately, the length of in-home dog training should be tailored to meet the individual needs of both the dog and their owner. By setting realistic goals and staying committed to the process, positive changes can be achieved over time.

During in-home dog training, dogs can learn a variety of essential skills and behaviors that will help them become well-behaved members of your pack. They are taught basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come, and heel. These commands are important for establishing communication between the dog and owner.
In addition to obedience training, owners also learn how to help address their dog’s behavioral issues like excessive barking, jumping on people, or pulling on the leash during walks.
Furthermore, dogs can learn socialization skills through exposure to different environments. This helps them develop confidence and adaptability in various situations.
In-home dog training provides a personalized approach tailored to address the specific needs of each dog. That means what each dog learns during their in-home training will be different.
Regardless, in-home training will teach your dog new skills and strengthen your bond with them.

In-home dog training offers numerous benefits for both you and your furry companion. One of the main advantages is the personalized attention your dog receives in a familiar environment. In some cases, that can help reduce stress and distractions during training.
Private in-home dog training allows for tailored sessions to address specific behavior issues unique to your pet, leading to more effective results. Additionally, being trained at home helps your dog learn how to behave in their everyday surroundings, making it easier for you to implement what they’ve learned consistently.

In-home dog training provides a comfortable setting for learning where your dog can start to flourish organically within your home environment.
While in-home dog training offers many benefits, there are some potential drawbacks to consider as well.
First, the success of the training heavily relies on the commitment and consistency of the owner. If you’re unable to dedicate time for practice between sessions, your progress may be slow.
Another disadvantage is that some dogs may become too dependent on their home environment during training. This could make it challenging for them to generalize their new skills outside of familiar surroundings.
Furthermore, distractions at home like other pets or family members can impact focus during training sessions. It’s important to create a conducive environment free from interruptions for optimal results.
If these drawbacks give you some hesitation, don’t worry. We can find the perfect training program for you and your dog. Explore our available services and contact us to learn more about your training options.
During in-home dog training, the role of the dog owner is pivotal. You are not just an observer but an active participant in your dog’s learning journey. As a responsible pet parent, your consistency and dedication play a crucial part in the success of the training program.
Your involvement goes beyond just providing treats or praise. It involves practicing commands regularly with your dog to reinforce what they have learned during sessions. Consistency in enforcing rules and boundaries is key to ensuring that your dog understands expectations both during and after training.
Being patient and understanding is essential as your dog may take time to grasp new concepts. Your positive attitude and encouragement can boost your dog’s confidence and motivation to learn.
By actively engaging in the training process, you build a stronger connection with your dog. Remember, it’s a team effort — together, you can achieve great results!
