Private Lessons:
PRIVATE LESSONS ARE OFFERED TO THOSE WHO CANNOT ATTEND CLASSES FOR VARIOUS REASONS. SUCH REASONS MAY BE AS FOLLOWS:
-
You have other commitments during class times
-
You dog requires more individual attention
-
Your dog has social problems and cannot be in a class with other dogs
-
Your dog cannot cope with the training environment
-
Your dog has had no prior training and is over the age limit for puppy class (a minimum of one private lesson is required before your dog may join the intermediate class if they have not attended puppy classes with us)
Private lessons are usually 60 minutes long and may be conducted in your own home or at the training fields.
Please note that private lessons are intended to teach basic obedience and handling techniques and NOT to address specific behaviour problems. If you need help with behaviour problems, please see CONSULTATIONS.
Due to time constraints I am personally not able to do private lessons on an ongoing basis. My very competent assistant, Inge Buchner, who is also a qualified behaviourist conducts these lessons for me. If you wish to book a private lesson, please be in contact with me and I will refer you to Inge.
Costs:
Single private lesson: R550 (Simonstown to Noordhoek) or R650 (Kalk Bay to Constantia).
