- New puppy owners who are thinking, “Okay, now what?”

- Anyone who feels more confident with personal instruction
- Dogs who learn better in their own environment
- Anyone who just needs help right now
With private coaching, you’ll never feel rushed or pressured to “keep up with the Joneses.” There’s no pre-set agenda or schedule you’re required to follow. You and your dog are unique, so we’ll work with you to create a customized training plan for your specific needs and goals.
We use only the most up-to-date, positive reinforcement training methods to ensure a great experience for both of you. You’ll receive lots of one-on-one attention and instruction, with plenty of time to ask questions, practice what you’ve learned, and laugh (a lot!) with your best friend. All sessions are conducted in the comfort of your own home at a time that works best with your schedule.
Getting Started
Ready to help your dog put his best paw forward? Send us a message through our Contact Form or give us a call at 541-420-3916 so we can schedule a 90-minute training consultation with you and your dog.
During that initial meeting, we’ll discuss your needs, goals and any specific problems you may be having with your furry friend. The consultation is critical to your dog’s training success, giving us the information we need to create a personalized training plan especially for the two of you.
Fees and Packages
Our goal at Laughing Mutts is to make training fun, effective and affordable for everyone! Below is a list of our basic fees and packages for private coaching, but we’re happy to customize a package for your dog’s specific needs.
Initial consultation (90 minutes): $120
The consultation is required before training begins. This meeting allows us to get to know each other better, and gives you the chance to ask any questions you may have. We’ll talk in depth about your needs, goals and expectations so that we can create an effective training plan for you and your pup. We’ll also talk in depth how positive reinforcement is implemented to get more behaviors you like.
