In-Home Private Lessons

Want a calmer, better-behaved dog at home AND out in the world?

Our in-home private lessons are designed to give you the foundation and the confidence that you need to create real, lasting change.

We don’t just train your dog… we teach you how to lead with clarity, consistency, and calm. When your dog understands the rules and feels supported by a strong leader, everything changes: manners improve, obedience becomes reliable, and the bond between you and your dog gets stronger than ever.

All training happens right where it matters most—your home. This allows us to help you implement rules, routines, and structure in the exact environment your dog lives in every day. From building rock-solid foundations to confidently walking your dog through your neighbourhood, we’re with you step by step.

If you're ready for results that actually stick, in-home private lessons are the perfect place to start. Let’s make your dog a respectful, well-mannered member of your family, right at home.

  • Crate training & house training
  • Obedience commands, such as sit, down and stay
  • Walking loose leash
  • Dealing with unwanted behaviours such as aggression towards dogs and people
  • Jumping on people
  • Coming when called (recall)

What Our Clients Have to Say...

I brought my dog Nero to Melissa looking to fine tune his training and to learn from an experienced trainer. We had some basic obedience going in, but my goal was to have him be reliable on a recall so I could give him lots of freedom. Nero was also reactive to bikers, joggers, and some dogs which wasn't a surprise being a herding mix. Within the first couple lessons Melissa gave us the tools and tricks for Nero to not focus on dogs and focus more on me, and with a couple weeks of practice he now ignores dogs when we walk by them. We also learned how to make his heel better, have rules around the car, faster recalls, and lots of other fun stuff. By our last lesson Nero could be off-leash around bikes and would stay in a down as they passed, although in a relatively low distraction area he did very well and we'll work towards high distraction areas. We had lots of fun training with Melissa and learned lots. We'll have more to work on and will be sure to be back. Nero and I definitely recommend Melissa and BC Westcoast K9 for obedience training and if you want to give your dog off-leash freedom.
