Note:  One of our 3 trainers, Stephen, is on paternity leave from February through April, so he will not be able to schedule lessons with new clients. His absence impacts service areas including Baltimore City, Ellicott City, Columbia, and Pasadena. 

in-home PRIVATE TRAINING

Have a new puppy?
Get your pup off to a great start! Receive expert advice for socialization, training tips for house training, puppy mouthing, basic manners, and more! Start with a Puppy Package if your pup is age 6 months or younger. Older pups should start with a consultation, instead.

Need some help with basic manners?
Teach your dog things like how to walk nicely on-leash, not jump on visitors, and come when called using modern, effective techniques. No dog is too old to be a lot more fun to live with! Start with a consultation and if you like working with us, you can opt for a training package.

Is your dog anxious or acting aggressively?

We will create a behavior modification plan tailored to your pet's needs and your lifestyle. We will manage the environment, change the emotion driving the behaviors, and teach new behaviors. You'll start with a consultation and then we'll discuss the next steps. 

Note: We need to know if your dog has bitten someone up front, so let us know right away. This information helps us plan a safe entrance to your home, and, in some cases, we may refer you to a veterinary behaviorist immediately.

Due to Dog Crazy Lady providing effective results and friendly service, 25 area veterinary clinics and the behavior clinic at the University of Pennsylvania are comfortable referring their clients to me and my fellow trainers, Laurie Corak and Stephen Lewis. We have taught thousands of students in both group and private sessions for issues ranging from basic manners to annoying behavior to problems like anxiety or aggression. We are committed to using effective and humane training techniques that will help strengthen the bond between you and your dog. We don't use pain, threat, or intimidation to teach your dog, or you!
