Private Courses

UCLA's instructors offer private classes for those needing special attention or those simply wishing for the advantages of one-on-one participation with an instructor.

Please email us with your needs and interests and we will get back to you promptly.

The initial consultation interview for behavioral problems is $130. Private training thereafter is $75/hour in the studio or $85/hour outside the studio.

To better serve our clients, Day Training may be an option as appropriate. Day Training consists of a trainer working with your dog several times a week. At the end of each week, lessons will be imparted to you the client. This offers the advantage of the skills of a professional dog trainer while helping you learn how to maintain your dog’s training.
