Private Lessons and evaluations

Sometimes, classes just don't work for various reasons. That's where lessons come in! Whether you're working on manners, behavior modification, agility, disc, or other skills, these sessions provide focused coaching tailored to your goals. All lessons, regardless of topic, are billed at the same rate. Payment is due before the start of each lesson and can be made via:

• Cash

• Check

• PayPal: @4pillarsdogtraining (Friends and Family)

Start Your Training Journey - NEW Students

We structure our programs differently depending on your goals:

🐾 Manners Students

All new students starting in our manners program must purchase a 5-pack of private lessons. These lessons substitute for a group manners class and allow us to work directly on your dog’s unique needs. 

• 5-Pack of 30-Minute Lessons ($300 + mileage if applicable): Best for dogs without major issues. Covers general manners or 2 -3 problem behaviors.

• 5-Pack of 60-Minute Lessons ($600 + mileage if applicable): Recommended for unruly or challenging cases. Allows for focused work on 4 -5 problem behaviors.
  
  

This structure ensures every manners student begins with a strong foundation before progressing into advanced group classes. *Mileage applies if training is done off-site.

🏆 Sports Students

Students joining our sports program (Agility, Flyball, Disc, Rally, Nose Work, etc.) may schedule a single evaluation lesson. If skills are satisfactory, you may join current classes or private lessons without completing a 5-pack.

🔄 Current Students

Already part of our program? You may schedule touch-up lessons to refresh skills, address new behaviors, or add on extra training time.

• At the facility: $60 / 30 minutes or $120 / 60 minutes

• Off-site: $65 / 30 minutes or $130 / 60 minutes (+ $0.50 per mile, one way)

🏠 At-Home or 📍 At-Facility Lessons?

When beginning training, you can choose to meet at our facility or in your home- each option has unique benefits.

• At the Facility: Best for focused learning with fewer distractions. Great for teaching core skills, introducing new exercises, and working around controlled challenges (other dogs, new environments, equipment).
  
  

• At Home: Ideal when behaviors happen in your dog’s daily environment. In-home lessons let us address real-life situations where they occur, making training immediately practical and relevant. This includes welcoming guests, introducing new dogs to the household, adjusting to changes, barking out the window, and more. 
  
  Both options are effective; the right choice depends on your dog’s needs and your training goals.
