Private Puppy Training
Just sit back, relax, and train your puppy
I know, it sounds crazy! Puppies are lots of work, they pee all over the house, tear up the toilet paper, and nibble on toes, so how are you supposed to sit back and relax? Simple, let's get training together! Leash and Learn's unique approach to puppy training leaves you calm and confident.
Our goal with each and every puppy we work with is to help them develop into a happy, healthy, well-socialized adult dog. Every dog and family is different so the process is 100% personalized for you!
Why Should You Train Your Puppy?
Any training that you and your puppy do now is an investment that will pay off in the future. It is FAR easier to start teaching your puppy how to behave at a young age than to go back in and fix problems later. The first few weeks at home are an important time in a puppy’s life. It is the best time for you and your puppy to bond, learn how to work as a team, and learn how to communicate with each other effectively. Instead of sending your puppy away for training and missing out on this precious time, let Leash and Learn come to your home to help you.
When Can You Begin Training?
You can begin training with me before you puppy even comes home! With our initial consultation, I can give you all the tools you need to prepare for your new Puppy’s arrival. It is not unusual for me to meet your puppy and begin training him within a day or two of his arrival. Already brought puppy home? No worries, we can start at any time!
Specially Formulated Puppy Program
With our specially formulated puppy programs Leash and Learn will come to your home several times a week to fix problem puppy behaviors, lay a foundation to prevent future ones, and teach your puppy basic manners.
What is Taught in a Puppy Program?

Client Love - Molly
Working with Rachel has been an absolute treat for both Molly and me. Puppy parenting is always going to be a challenge, and Rachel created a plan to get Molly to a place of structure and respect through repetition and positive reinforcement.
Rachel’s passion for her work is evident in everything she does. Her interactions with Molly were sincere and her desire to ensure her comfort and happiness was at the forefront of all decision-making. Rachel’s responsiveness to my emails and texts made me feel supported and confident.

Training Packages & Prices
Step One - Initial Evaluation
Your initial evaluation lays the groundwork for all of your dog's training and any follow-up packages. We sit down together in your home, assess your dog's current behavior, set goals, and begin with the most pertinent training exercises.
3-5 days after your initial evaluation, you receive a customized training plan and an overview of the themes discussed during your appointment.
Step Two - Training Packages
To reach your goals, most training will require a package of follow-up lessons.
Leash and Learn understands that both time and money are valuable. That’s why we have developed two types of training programs. Our “basics” programs saves you money. Our “jumpstart” programs save you time.
