Private Training

Now accepting new clients!

We are excited to offer virtual and in-person private training sessions through the Wisconsin Humane Society Milwaukee Campus, and virtually via GoodPup!

We utilize reward-based, positive reinforcement strategies to improve the lives of animals and the people who care for them. Private sessions are an excellent option for dogs that would not be comfortable in a group class setting. They are also a great option for families that wish to work on a targeted training plan specific to their family and situation, or would like a high level of flexibility with scheduling. 

Topics that can be covered in private sessions through WHS include but are not limited to:

  • Basic manners
  • Pulling on leash
  • Coming when called
  • Jumping
  • Counter surfing
  • Reactivity
  • Fearful behaviors
  • And more!

Private sessions through WHS have a fee of $75 each. If this would be a financial hardship, please contact sstein@wihumane.org for scholarship options.  

Please note: availability for training offered at the WHS Milwaukee Campus is limited and appointments are booked about 3-6 weeks in advance. If you're in need of more immediate support, we recommend checking out options available via GoodPup below or Force Free Trainers of Wisconsin.

We look forward to working with you!
