ACT’s private training program is designed for pet parents who consider their dogs as family members. We focus on solving real-world challenges while nurturing your dog's independence.
You have the vision of what you want your day-to-day life with your pup to look like. Let Shir help make it a reality!
When you choose 1:1 training for your pup(s), Shir comes to you ensuring that the work is grounded in your lifestyle needs.
So, whether it’s working on your dog’s manners to ensure your next party goes off without any unexpected surprises or cutting down the anxiety of walks with your leash reactive pup, Shir’s seen and handled it all.
Shir's approach to training
Throughout her experience, she's found that these noticeable, unwanted behaviors are the result of smaller, less obvious ones that add up.
Based on a building blocks approach, Shir's found that the best path to success is to start with the smaller behaviors that can help your dog focus during their triggered and overwhelming moments.
For example: Does your dog jump on guests when they walk in the door? How's their recall? Is your dog a troublesome walker? She'll determine and work on what's causing that behavior in the safety of your home to help build up your dog's confidence before reintroducing them into the situations that cause them to be overstimulated or reactive.
By looking at your dog holistically and designing a full program around them, you'll be set up for success to achieve your long-term goals.
