HOW PRIVATE TRAINING SESSIONS WORK
FOR ALL PRIVATE DOG TRAINING SESSIONS:
Before we meet:
You will provide answers to a list of very specific questions about your dog via a comprehensive behavior history questionnaire. This saves a great deal of time at the initial consultation and allows us to maximize our time with you.
During the initial consultation:
We will learn more about your dog’s issues and your environment.
We’ll help you learn and understand the root of your dog’s behaviors and work together to map out an action plan.
We encourage you to be ready to take your own notes.
After we meet:
You will receive a summary with action items.
You will receive targeted training materials that we have created and gathered for you to continue the work we started.
We will decide together on a recommended number of follow-up sessions to help you meet your training goals.
“We really appreciate that both virtual classes and consultations were flexible and could be customized to address an individual dog’s needs. We found we really enjoyed the virtual classes and working through with Ozzy on our end. Any questions we had we loved sharing them on Ask the Trainers.”

“Love the whole Pumpkin Pups team! I’ve taken several of their Zoom classes, individual webinars, and private lessons. I’ve worked with most of the trainers at this point and I find them all to be wonderful. They really know their stuff, they’re truly educated about dog behavior and care about their clients, both human and canine. Also the whole team is always responsive to email and really works to help with any concerns or challenges you’re facing. Love this training community and I highly recommend their services!”
