Our virtual private lessons take place live over Zoom, making it easy to train from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. These one-on-one sessions are ideal for introducing new training concepts, demonstrating techniques, troubleshooting specific challenges, brainstorming training plans, and providing personalized guidance throughout your training journey. Whether you're working with us in a hybrid or fully virtual journey, our live coaching helps keep you and your dog progressing toward your goals. We offer both individual virtual sessions and virtual session packages (see the next section for package options).

Take your virtual training a step further with a combination of live Zoom coaching and personalized video feedback between lessons. In addition to your scheduled virtual sessions, you'll receive individualized coaching as you practice at home, allowing you to make faster progress with expert support without waiting until your next appointment.
Simply upload your training videos and any questions through your weekly coaching assignment. We'll review your training, provide detailed written feedback, troubleshoot challenges, suggest next steps, and when helpful, include demonstration videos or additional resources to guide your training.
Unlike waiting until your next lesson to ask for help, you'll have direct access to your trainer throughout your training. Whether you're wondering how to adjust your timing, aren't sure if you're reinforcing the right behavior, or run into an unexpected challenge during the week, you can reach out for guidance before small issues become larger ones.
There is no required submission schedule. Check in whenever your schedule allows, whether that's a few times each week or nearly every day. Feedback is typically returned within 24 hours (occasionally up to 48 hours during travel or other commitments), allowing you to continue making steady progress between live lessons.
All you need is:
A smartphone or tablet
A reliable internet connection
A small tripod or phone stand (recommended)
The ability to upload videos (YouTube Unlisted or Google Drive is preferred)
The ability to use Google Classroom on desktop or mobile app

Need a little extra support without scheduling another lesson? Virtual Coaching Credits provide personalized guidance whenever you need it. These credits can be used for video reviews, written feedback, answering training questions, troubleshooting challenges, reviewing homework, creating training plans, and providing demonstration videos or additional resources when helpful.
Coaching Credits are a great option for:
Clients who have completed an individual virtual lesson and would like continued support.
In-person clients who are traveling or unable to attend a lesson.
Clients who have used all of the coaching included in their Virtual Coaching Package.
Anyone looking for expert guidance between scheduled lessons.
Credits are only deducted for the time your trainer spends actively reviewing videos, answering questions, and preparing personalized feedback. Submit your videos and questions whenever your schedule allows, and we'll let you know as your coaching balance gets low.
