What We Offer
Private or semi-private lessons allow for dogs and their people to learn best. Whether it's in your own home or in our Schoolhouse, the best learning happens when your dog is comfortable and able to focus.
We want the human-dog team to feel excited at the start of each lesson, because they know the attention will be solely on them, and they will be getting the best they can out of our time together.

1- Hour Private Lesson at the Right Vibe Dog Training Schoolhouse
Stay the course with your training so we can get closer to your goals, be creative problem solvers, and have fun with your dog. Lessons will take place at the RVDT Schoolhouse at 184 Northwest Rd, Westhampton where you will be in a safe and comfortable space to focus, free of home life distractions. If you're unable to visit the RVDT Schoolhouse for your dog's training, each 1-hour lesson can be taught virtually over zoom or Google Meet. Book your private lesson here.
​
Day Training in 4- or 8- Hour Increments
This is one-on-one immersion training which incorporates focused time on specific training skills, moderate exercise, and socialization with 1 - 2 dogs when appropriate. Our Schoolhouse is set in a calming, quiet, and stress free natural environment. We will work at your dog's pace, but regardless of their learning style, we are more likely to see quick results compared to shorter training intervals. Day training is great for puppies to get targeted schooling for house training, puppy nipping, crate training, and more!
With the 4-hour training, 30 minutes of information transfer to the owner is included at the end of the training session to best help your pup generalize the skills to other environments. The 8-hour training includes 1 hour of transfer time at the end of the training session. Transfer time may also include trainer notes, video shares, and/or homework sheets as applicable. Book your 4-hour day training here. To schedule an 8-hour training, please contact Sandra directly.

climate-controlled space".

This service works well for a sudden behavioral concern that you need feedback on, help for a new puppy in the home as they develop through different stages, and unexpected pre- and post-medical procedure issues. Book your phone meeting here. ​

The right vibe can get you there! Experience less stress and anxiety when out with your dog and be proud of their behavior. In a private/small group hybrid format, we teach and solidify skills that you can use to bring your dog out in the community. The program runs for 8 weeks and uses positive training to build your dog’s confidence and focus.
Over 8 weeks the course includes an orientation, a private lesson, 6 practice sessions and 2 field trips in the community to practice skills in real life scenarios, and ongoing coaching from professionals. The Anywhere Dog Program training exercises are based on those of the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. Optional CGC and AKC Trick Dog tests are held at our Schoolhouse at the end of the 8 week program. Book your package here. ​​​

"I’ve taken two of my dogs through The Anywhere Dog. The sessions were so fun, the dogs loved it, and they learned all the things that make it possible for me to bring them places. My big guy now has the name Awesome Anywhere Austin, and a friend says she loves when my dogs visit her house".

Our Schoolhouse
The Schoolhouse, which is the space we lovingly created for training, was built primarily with the comfort of dogs (and their people) in mind. We know that learning happens best when the dog is comfortable and able to focus. Our goal is to provide a space for training that is also a place that your dog will enjoy.
​
The space is 100% solar powered, climate controlled, and purposefully open and clear to eliminate distractions and things to worry about.
When we built the Schoolhouse, we worked to minimize exterior noises and activity, so the dogs can fully immerse themselves in the experience of learning. For breaks between lessons, and to provide another level of body and mind connection, we have a wide variety of toys, games, and puzzles for the dogs to explore.
Our goal with the Schoolhouse is to create an environment that brings out the very best in every dog, and helps their humans to learn how to get these behaviors when they leave our space and go home. We will continue to do whatever we need to in the Schoolhouse space to ensure that every dog and human team gets everything they can out of their lesson.
Let's connect!
Your call or email is always welcome.
We look forward to meeting you
and your furry companion!
