We encourage Private Lessons at the Comprehensive Pet Therapy (CPT) Training Center for those whose pet is too nervous, aggressive, or energetic for a group class situation, for persons who desire a customized lesson plan, for persons who desire an accelerated lesson plan, for those who prefer a more flexible schedule than we can provide in group class, or for individuals who prefer the intimacy or convenience of one-on-one instruction.
$120 per hour lesson by-lesson. By appointment.
$900 for a discounted package covering 8 hours of instruction. The package provides a $60 discount versus purchasing the same number of lessons individually.
$180 per hour lesson-by-lesson. By appointment.
$240 per hour for dog-human or dog-dog aggression cases if the lesson also requires the services of a CPT Staff Trainer and/or volunteer dog.
CPT Head Trainers are more educated, experienced, and accomplished than CPT Staff Trainers. Consequently, Head Trainers are highly recommended for:
CPT Head Trainer accomplishments include competing nationally, winning a prestigious Regional competition, functioning as “Pet Expert” on the local NBC news, qualifying as an expert witness in animal behavior in multiple courts of law, co-authoring noteworthy research in the field of canine neuroscience, speaking at major conferences, appearing internationally in the PBS “Nova” series and the Nat Geo-Wild series “Puppy Days”, and being interviewed for a CBS “60 Minutes” segment on canine behavior.
Please note that although Head Trainer prices are higher than those indicated for Staff Trainers, with the issues and circumstances listed above, Head Trainer instruction will often result in lower overall expenses and superior overall value, as Head Trainers are more likely to achieve goal level outcomes and to require fewer meetings and less time to achieve desired outcomes.
Virtual Private Instruction via Zoom or FaceTime is an excellent solution for persons concerned about infection from social contact or persons who live distant from CPT. The advent of virtual technology allows us to easily provide CPT’s nationally recognized expertise to clients residing throughout the USA and internationally.
With virtual lessons we can “enter” a client’s home without placing a key in the ignition or boarding an airplane. Therefore, for persons wishing instruction emphasizing housebreaking, household manners, applied obedience, or behavior modification, virtual instruction permits us the opportunity to furnish a quasi-in-home lesson when an actual in-home lesson is logistically impractical or nonviable due to health concerns.
Although virtual instruction does not enable us to physically handle your dog, which is valuable for dog prep and human observation modeling, CPT Trainers are highly adept communicators who can verbally coach you to successful outcomes. Moreover, through insightful use of the virtual format, we can employ demonstration dogs at our end of the camera to maximize observation modeling and effective understanding of technique.
If you live distant from CPT or maintain COVID concerns, we welcome you to

In-home training allows us to work directly in your dog’s natural environment, making it easier to address real-life behavior issues. At Comprehensive Pet Therapy, we provide personalized sessions that improve obedience, behavior, and overall communication in everyday situations.
Yes, in-home training is especially effective for addressing behavior issues that occur in your dog’s daily environment. We focus on correcting problems like aggression, anxiety, or excessive energy where they naturally happen, making the training more practical and lasting.
During the first session, we evaluate your dog’s behavior, discuss your goals, and begin introducing basic training techniques. At Comprehensive Pet Therapy, we create a customized plan to address your dog’s specific needs from the start.
Before the session, we recommend having your dog ready, slightly exercised, and in a calm state. Gathering treats, toys, and any necessary equipment can also help us make the most of the training time and improve results.
