Our puppy Ava appeared at least to me to be untrainable…then we met Cori. We covered things that weren’t even on my radar for training but turned out to be very important for Ava’s development. Cori was very patient and thorough, giving us all the skills we will need to ensure Ava has a wonderful life. Thanks Cori!

Private Puppy Training Programs
Let’s Get Started!
My puppy training program is divided into three levels, ensuring your puppy develops the right skills at every stage of their growth. We start with a free phone consultation, where we’ll discuss your puppy’s needs and your training goals to determine the best level to begin with.
Train with me for one level or complete all three for a comprehensive approach to your puppy’s learning and development!
Puppy Training Level One
-
Level one is designed for puppies aged 8-16 weeks. We’ll focus on essential skills for this critical developmental stage such as socialization, establishing a consistent routine, and important topics like potty training, managing puppy biting, and fostering independent sleep habits in order to set the stage for a well-adjusted puppy and help prevent common problem behaviors. Your puppy will also learn introductory manners such as responding to their name, learning "come," and beginner leash walking skills.

Puppy Training Level Two
-
Level two of this puppy program builds upon the skills developed in level one, further strengthening your puppy’s socialization, life skills, and manners. We’ll focus on building good habits and preventing undesirable behaviors before they start, while strengthening the foundational skills your puppy has already learned. This stage emphasizes developing age-appropriate manners such as recall, leash walking, and settle, while continuing to teach you how to effectively work with your puppy. By the end of this level, you'll have established strong foundational manners, setting the stage for continued progress in the next level of training.

Puppy Training Level Three

Level 3 of our puppy program builds on the skills learned in the first two levels, and prepares you and your puppy for the challenges of adolescence. This stage focuses on maintaining social skills, manners, and life skills while navigating real-world challenges and distractions. We’ll emphasize polite greetings, walking calmly on leash, and fostering calmness in the home. This level also helps you refine your training skills, such as fading food rewards and incorporating life rewards to reinforce positive behavior. By the end of this level, you’ll be well-equipped to guide your puppy through their transition into adolescence, with a strong foundation in both basic and advanced behaviors that will set both of you up for success in any situation.

Puppy Training That Focuses on the 3 Most Important Aspects of Raising a Puppy.
To get you real results for real life.
Manners
A well-behaved dog starts in puppyhood! Build good, lifelong habits by teaching your puppy to walk politely on leash, come when called, and greet guests calmly right from the start.
Life Skills
Leave your puppy home alone knowing they can safely entertain themselves, never find another potty "present" again and feel confident that your pup is becoming the best dog they can be.
Social Skills
Raise your puppy to be a confident, friendly dog so you can invite guests over worry-free, and enjoy a lifetime of adventures with a well-behaved dog who can accompany you anywhere.
We worked with Cori for a while with our puppy Myka. I have had other dogs and worked with different trainers but Cori’s approach is different and taught us a lot about how to make Myka a great pet and member of our family who can go anywhere with us! Please do yourself a favor when looking for a trainer and give Cori a call.

How are these programs different?
I utilize only science-based, positive reinforcement methods
This ensures your puppy learns how to learn, stays motivated so they choose to engage, and builds good lifelong habits.
I don’t just train your puppy, I teach YOU too
You’ll learn alongside your puppy, gaining the knowledge and confidence to guide them effectively while they develop new skills.
Real-life application
I’ll teach you how to implement training techniques in everyday situations, from walks to entertaining guests, ensuring your puppy’s skills are practical and useful.
Customized training plans
I take the time to listen to your goals, needs, and lifestyle preferences, then create a customized training plan that’s ideal for you and your dog.
Cori is the go to person to learn how to bring your puppy up as as a well behaved and emotionally secure dog. .Yogi had his last round of shots at the vet the other day. She complimented us repeatedly on how well he has been socialized. Those kudo's really belong to Cori! We thank her again for her excellent human training. She not only knows how to relate to your dog, she knows how to relate to you.

I use science-based, positive reinforcement training methods. This approach focuses on rewarding desired behaviors, which not only leads to positive behavior change, but also fosters a strong bond between you and your dog. All you need is a treat pouch, treats, and your dog’s leash and collar/harness—no special equipment required.
-
Training sessions typically take place in your home, though some may be held virtually or in a public location, like a park. The location is chosen based on your preferences, goals, and what will yield the best results for you and your dog.
-
While puppy classes can be beneficial, private training offers a more tailored approach to socialization. Socialization is about more than just play with other puppies; it’s about helping your puppy feel confident and comfortable in various environments and with different people, animals, and situations. In private sessions, we’ll prioritize this process, ensuring your puppy is exposed to appropriate social experiences at a pace that suits them. For some puppies, group settings can be overwhelming, and private training allows for a more controlled and positive experience.
-
While I can’t guarantee that your dog or puppy will be fully trained after our program, I will ensure that you have the tools and knowledge to continue making progress. It's important to remember that behavior change is an ongoing process, and results depend on how much effort and consistency you put into training at home. Training is a partnership between you and your dog, and with dedication, you’ll see significant improvements. My goal is to guide and support you every step of the way.
-
Yes, it’s important for you to be present during training sessions. Throughout the training journey, I’ll be coaching you to ensure you have the skills and knowledge to effectively train your dog.

By being involved, you’ll learn how to reinforce positive behaviors and address challenges, which leads to lasting results and a stronger bond with your dog.
