Private Lessons

Personalized coaching, actionable insights, and support to confidently lead your dog's training process.

If you’re the kind of dog owner who wants to be hands-on, but still wants a trusted expert in your corner when things get tricky.

That’s why our One-on-One Coaching program exists—to give you the roadmap, the tools, and the insights to unlock your dog’s potential while making sure you’re fully in control of the journey. This isn’t about us training your dog; it’s about us giving you the strategy to train your dog, your way. You don’t need someone else doing the work for you. You just need the right guidance and support to execute your plan with precision.

We’ll be perfectly honest; this is a solid solution for many pups, knuckleheads, or dogs presenting with moderate (🌶️) reactivity. And the results you’ll get from a problem where we’re coaching you are very different from an immersive program where we are skill building and then looping you in. Why? Duration and proofing (nerd speak for immersion and dog setups) build behaviors with staying power, which is very different than one-hour coaching lessons. We want you to invest where you will get actual results and want to be transparent about that. If you have a super spicy (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️) reactive pup,
we recommend an evaluation as a jumping-off point.

At OpBarks, we don’t just throw training advice at you. We craft a system designed around your life that turns those, "What do I do now?" moments into laser-focused, actionable steps you can implement immediately.

Whether you’ve got a wild puppy, an adopted dog still figuring out the ropes, or a multi-dog household that needs a reset—this program is for owners who want real change. We’ll help you break through the noise and build a solid, lasting connection with your dog.

What’s Included:

  • Coaching sessions—in-person or virtually—that give you the personalized, actionable insights you need to see real results.

  • Exclusive access to training, wellness, and care courses—because the more you know, the better you lead.

  • Community support—engage with other dog owners, share tips, and troubleshoot challenges as you go.

  • A system designed for real-life success—whether you’re facing puppy mayhem or dog family drama, we’ve got you covered.

No more random advice from Uncle Steve or that guy who owned a German shepherd once (we all know that guy).
No more second-guessing.
Just a system, action steps, and results.

What’s included

  • Five or more coaching sessions—either in-person at our studios or virtually—that will guide you in your process

  • Access to supplemental training, wellness, and care courses enhances your expertise and strengthens your foundation, so you can approach your dog’s growth with confidence.

  • Access to our community forum for ongoing support and collaboration with like-minded owners facing similar challenges

    Lessons are offered on weekdays, weekday evenings, and weekends at all locations.

This is about giving you the tools to lead confidently and build a life with a dog that understands you—and you, them.

"I was often shaking my head with disbelief at what the one-on-one training with Opportunity Barks was able to get my girl to do when we sought help with her anxiety over vet visits and grooming. They were great about showing me how to reinforce the training at home, so I also feel more confident continuing the process. Leigh was amazing at not only showing us how to elicit the appropriate behavior we sought, but also in explaining the 'why' behind the process."
