Personalized Training for Owners and Dogs
Private Lessons enable specialized, one-on-one instruction of handlers and dogs to enable maximum understanding and retention. Full courses are available from Puppy Prime to Open Obedience and beyond as well as one-off lessons for group class attendees who require additional instruction. Private Lessons may also be a good choice for owners or dogs with special needs that would not be well-served in the group class setting.
Lessons and Courses
Individual Private Lessons are available at our Salt Lake City Dog Training Studio for $125.00/hour to work on obedience concepts or simple behavior problems. This can be an economical solution for owners who have already started on the path to training their dog and want professional help understanding a concept or getting over a hump. Owners who need structured guidance training their dog or who are dealing with substantial behavior problems are encouraged to investigate one of our full-scale, methodical training courses below, where Private Lessons are bundled together at a generous discount.

All AMPS dog training courses are available as Private Lesson Arrangements. In the Private Lesson Arrangement, the instructor and student agree to meet at a recurring time, day, and location for training. Each week, the instructor will evaluate the student and student-dog with a Readiness Test to verify that the team is ready to move on. If the team passes the Readiness Test, the instructor will proceed to teach the next week’s material. On each of at least 6 days between meetings, the student is to personally train the student-dog on all of the exercises instructed during the meeting and located on that week’s Handout Sheet.
At the conclusion of each course is the Graduation Exercise. Upon completing the Graduation Exercise, the graduate will be presented with a signed Certificate of Completion acknowledging the team’s achievement. Each course graduated entitles the team to enroll in higher-level AMPS dog training courses. Click Here to Read More about our training courses.
