Private Coaching and Behaviour Support
Why Private Coaching or Behaviour Support?
Private sessions are ideal for dogs and guardians who need a more personalised approach than a group class can provide.
This may include puppies who aren’t ready for group classes yet, busy schedules that make class attendance difficult, or dogs who would benefit from learning in a quieter environment. Private training is also the best option for dogs experiencing behavioural challenges such as reactivity, fear, anxiety, over-arousal, or aggression, where a tailored plan and structured support are essential.
At Animal Haus Behaviour and Training, we focus on understanding why behaviour is happening — not just trying to stop it.
Behaviour is influenced by many factors including a dog’s learning history, environment, emotional state, genetics, health, and whether their physical and behavioural needs are truly being met. By addressing these factors and teaching the right skills, we create lasting behaviour change that improves life for both you and your dog.
Our training focuses on helping dogs learn how to regulate arousal, make better choices, and navigate the real world with confidence.
A Collaborative Approach to Training
Our private coaching and behaviour support programs offer two powerful learning components, you can opt for just 1-on-1 Coaching, or both Coaching and Day Training:
1-on-1 Coaching
These sessions focus on teaching you the skills needed to successfully guide and support your dog. We cover practical training strategies, reading your dog’s body language, management skills, and how to apply training in everyday life.
Day Training
In day training sessions, our trainer works directly with your dog to begin building the skills and behaviours needed to reach your goals. These skills are then transferred to you during coaching sessions so you can confidently continue the training at home.
This combination allows dogs to learn efficiently while ensuring guardians gain the knowledge and confidence needed to maintain progress long-term. It’s also an excellent option for busy households or clients who feel they would benefit from additional professional guidance during the early stages of training.
Tailored Programs for Every Dog
Private training is delivered through structured packages rather than single sessions. This allows us to provide meaningful progress, ongoing guidance, and support as your dog’s learning develops.
Programs can support everything from:
-
Puppy foundations and life skills
-
Adolescent training challenges
-
Household manners and impulse control
-
Recall and loose leash walking
-
Confidence building
-
Reactivity and big feelings around other dogs or people
-
Fear, anxiety, and stress-related behaviours
-
More complex behavioural cases requiring structured support
Every program is designed around the individual dog, their environment, and your goals as a guardian.
Our Private Training Services
Cost and Process
The cost of our private coaching vs behaviour support is different as there are different levels of support required for each.
Both services require an Intake Consultation which allows me to get a better understanding of what exactly you are looking to achieve with your dog and the level of support required.
The base hourly rate for each is:
Private Coaching: $100/hour
Behaviour Support: $155/hour
Private Coaching can be booked session by session, but depending on your training goals we may recommend booking a package.
Our Behaviour Support services are only booked in packages.
Challenges such as reactivity, aggression, fear, anxiety, or chronic over-arousal are rarely solved through a few training sessions alone. These behaviours are often influenced by a combination of emotional state, learning history, environment, health, genetics, and whether a dog’s behavioural needs are being properly met. Because of this complexity, behaviour work requires a structured plan and ongoing support as both you and your dog learn new ways to navigate difficult situations.
The package length / type is recommended based on the behaviour challenges you are experiencing.
If you're unsure whether your dog needs training support or behaviour support, we’re happy to help guide you toward the most appropriate program.
To ensure you receive the right support, we ask all new clients to have a brief discussion with us via email or a scheduled Zoom call before booking their first session.
