Dog Nanny
One on One Training
& Structured Care
Dog Nanny services provide focused, one on one training and structured care while the owner is away. Unlike traditional private training sessions, the owner is not present for every visit. This allows the trainer to work directly with the dog to reinforce skills, routines, and calm behavior through repetition and consistency.
This service is designed to help dogs cement learning in a low pressure, real life environment. Once skills are established, training is intentionally transferred to the owner through guidance and coaching, ensuring habits are maintained at home.
How This Service Works
Training takes place directly between the trainer and the dog
Learning is reinforced through daily routines and repetition
Owner involvement increases once skills are established
Long term success depends on follow through at home
Session Structure:
Dog Nanny services are offered in half day (3 hour) or full day (6 hour) formats, allowing for multiple short training sessions, rest periods, enrichment, and structured activities throughout the day.
Best for:
Dogs who are just starting to learn foundational skills or need gentle, calm guidance, habit reinforcement, light exercise, or support building confidence in familiar surroundings. Like “preschool” for skills before moving to more challenging environments
Not Sure What to Choose?
If you’re unsure which service is the best fit, I’m happy to help you choose the right starting point for your dog and your lifestyle, or refer you to someone better suited to your needs.
