PRIVATE TRAINING
Personalized, science-based training for real-life results.
Personalized, evidence-based training designed around your dog, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Whether you’re raising a puppy, struggling with leash pulling or reactivity, or simply want a better relationship with your dog, private training is tailored to help you reach your goals.
As an IAABC Accredited Dog Trainer (IAABC-ADT) with a Diploma in Canine Behaviour Science & Technology (CBST), I use positive reinforcement and science-based methods to create lasting behaviour change without fear, intimidation, or punishment.
Every training plan is personalized because every dog and family is unique.
Evidence-Based
Positive reinforcement methods backed by modern behavioural science.
Personalized
Every training plan is tailored to your dog’s personality, goals, and daily life.
Practical
Build skills that work at home, on walks, and in everyday life.
HOW TO GET STARTED:
Step 1:
Free Discovery Call
Let’s start with a free 10–15 minute phone call.
We’ll chat about your dog, your goals, and any challenges you’re experiencing. I’ll answer your questions, explain my training approach, and help you determine whether private training is the right fit.
No pressure. No obligation.
Step 2:
Initial Assessment & Training Session
($180)
Every training journey begins with a comprehensive assessment and your first hands-on training session.
Together we’ll discuss your dog’s history, behaviour, daily routine, and goals before beginning practical training you can start using immediately.
By the end of your session, you’ll leave with:
- A thorough behaviour and lifestyle assessment
- A personalized training plan
- Your first hands-on training lesson
- Practival exercises and homework
- Clear recommendations for next steps
You’ll leave your first session with a clear plan, practical exercises to start using right away, and the confidence to continue your training at home.
Step 3:
Continue with the Right Training Plan
Once we’ve completed your initial assessment, we’ll decide together which level of support best fits your goals.
Every dog and family is different. Some families only need a few coaching sessions, while others benefit from more ongoing support. Together, we’ll choose the option that best fits your goals. There’s never any pressure to commit to more than you need.
From here, we’ll continue with the training option that best fits your goals.
Real-Life Results
The goal isn’t perfect behaviour in a training session; it’s building the skills your dog needs to succeed in everyday life.
“Coop did way better camping than I ever expected! He was able to walk past campsites with barking dogs, did great at a busy beach, and even calmly greeted someone at Pet Valu by checking in with me instead of reacting.
He’s improving so much, and I’m really happy with his progress”

TESTIMONIALS
Melissa & Ruby
“I can’t say enough praise for Kylie and her knowledge in helping us learn how to make Ruby the best dog she can be.
Ruby is definitely a fun puppy full of energy and personality and lots of love. She has definitely made a big difference in our lives.”
Neevee & Bea
“Bea had the best time! I would recommend this program to everyone- new or repeat- there’s something to be said for dedicated learning time with such great folks!!”
Hannah & Motley
“Yesterday two friends came over and we did what you said. He was excellent! I was truly shocked. When they came in the house he went on his bed and sat or laid down with me. No barking in the house. Same thing when they left. Thanks so much for this guidance. I’m feeling more and more hopeful. He’s a sweet boy I just want everyone to see what I see.”
